Presence & Influence

Learn to present like a TED talk

It's Not About the Slide Deck

Most public speaking training focuses on the content. We focus on the instrument: You.

Using techniques from drama and theatre, we can train you and your team to find their authentic voice, manage performance anxiety, and hold an audience in the palm of your hand. Whether it's a board meeting or a keynote to thousands, the principles of presence remain the same.

Our Method

With over twenty years of theatrical experience, we develop the skills and techniques that transform the way you communicate.

Our tutor, Dave Lovatt, trained under the Head of the Directors Guild UK. That foundation has given him the tools to completely reshape your speaking voice — showing you how to bring any presentation vividly to life.

Using proven Stanislavski techniques, you'll learn how to harness motivation — the simple but powerful question: "What do I want?" Whether it's "I want to sell more of my product" or "I want to inspire my team," that clear objective becomes the driving force behind your speech.

You'll discover how to use "mind images" to paint pictures so your audience doesn't just hear you — they see what you see.

You'll learn how to vary rhythm and pace to energise key moments.

You'll understand the power of silence — giving your audience space to absorb, reflect, and connect with your ideas.

In just a few hours, your team can transform their presentation technique — speaking with clarity, confidence, and real impact.

Using impro to simulate high-stakes interactions with realistic emotional weight, we bridge the gap between theory and practice. Your team builds muscle memory, not just notes.
