Phil Vernon

Director of Programmes, International Alert.

“I attended the training Michael gave about how to make better presentations about 3 years ago. I found it incredibly useful. I really enjoyed Michael’s technique, and I enjoyed taking part in the training. His presentation is very very focussed, very very simple. What he said is “I have a way of helping you make better presentations. They’ll be more punchy, more effective and more interesting to listen to, and you’ll enjoy giving them much more.” And that’s exactly what he does.” It does what it says on the tin!

“I’ve continued to make presentations – I feel much more confident in making them. I feel confident in making presentations to my colleagues, I feel confident making them externally – to donors, to politicians, to civil servants. A particularly memorable occasion for me was when I gave a presentation to 100,000 Liberians at a conference in Monrovia which seemed to go down very well, and Michael’s training gave me the confidence to do that. I wholeheartedly recommend this type of training, even for people who think they are already good at making presentations. It does make a difference.”
