Presentation, workshop and product demo coaching and support.

How can I help?

Whether you're:

  • Delivering an internal presentation to your leaders

  • Developing a demonstration or pitch of your product

  • Keynoting to an audience of 1000s

  • Public speaking for the first time

I can help you plan, prepare and deliver with confidence.

Overcome your nerves

Feeling nervous? We'll work together to help you feel more confident and nail your next presentation from content to stage presence.

Take it to the next level

Already confident with your presentation? We can level up your physical delivery, narrative, interactivity or slide design.

Engage your audience

Want to wow the crowd? Let's work together to craft excellent content and activities to keep the audience engaged from beginning to end.

Setup tech for success

Getting bogged down with technology? I'll help you get everything setup for success so you can deliver online without the worry.

I had some presentation training with Dean before an event I was creating a new presentation for. His advice was fantastic and the presentation was a great success so I thoroughly recommend his training and mentoring. I will definitely be using Dean again in the future.

Why work with me?

I’ve spent 15+ years developing and delivering events, workshops, hands-on training, software demonstrations and keynote presentations. My experience spans from hosting events on stage for charities like Cancer Research UK and Sport Relief, to thought leadership keynotes, product demos and sales pitches for companies like Google and Adobe.Whether it’s getting a group of 1000 participants ready to tackle a midnight marathon or showing off software to government ministers, I’ve been there and I’ve done it.I grew up being called ‘the shy one’ (and I still consider myself an introvert). I know how it feels to have sweaty palms and butterflies before speaking, and how the overwhelm can make your mind go blank at the wrong moment.Over the years I’ve found what works for me. Now I want to help you find the tips and strategies that’ll work for your next speaking opportunity.

Working with Dean was a game changer! My confidence was low so I reached out for help with a big presentation I was nervous about. He helped manage my nerves and structure the presentation in a more engaging way which helped reduce the pressure. Thanks to Dean’s support, I felt prepared and delivered the presentation with confidence. It went incredibly well!
