All the great speakers were bad speakers at first – Ralf Waldo Emerson
Great communicators are exciting and engaging. They can connect with small groups of people or an audience of thousands. They are confident, not arrogant, authentic, not fake, powerful, not forceful, they tell stories, not analytics. They are memorable, not forgettable and they turn people on, not off. Can you learn how to ins
pire people and make them act on what you say? Can you develop your own charisma and gravitas so that people hang on to your every word? Can you learn how to emotionally charge a room to buy from you, or agree with you? Yes you can, if you want to. At The Performer Coach we like to stretch people so they can learn how to engage, inspire and make an impact. We teach people the tools to become an outstanding communicator. We equip people with the skills to be a business performer. We teach people how to own their space. We help people work a room. Engage a room. Own a room. OWN THE ROOM
A good presentation should be like a mini skirt. As short as possible to catch everyone’s attention. And just long enough to cover what you need to cover – Winston Churchill
Learn how to take center stage, command the space and leave a lasting positive impression. When presenters do this, more likely than not they have struck a cord in the hearts and minds of the people they are communicating to. Pitches and presentations should leave an audience wanting more. They should be exciting and intriguing. They should be experiential and novel and they should be wrapped up and presented using a well-told story. We believe in the importance of pushing people out of their comfort zone. To stretch them so they experience how they can authentically own the room. To develop them using positive practical psychology. So that by the time they deliver a presentation for you, they are comfortable to project with presence, to influence and engage with an audience, and to land messages that have real impact. ENGAGE THE ROOM
That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again – Walt Disney

Quote: Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn – Benjamin Franklin
Becoming an effective group coach and facilitator is a must have skill for leaders in the modern business world. Developing listening, questioning, summarizing and coaching capabilities is essential when creating high performing teams and departments. Teams that have autonomy of their time, task and technique are motivated to create innovative solutions that solve complex problems. They are compelled to give discretionary effort and they are engaged in a vision and purpose. All these outputs are the result of learning how to effectively facilitate and work a room. We are passionate about developing leaders that conduct impactful efficient meetings. Leaders’ who can influence teams to communicate effectively, who engage people with purpose and a sense of belonging and leaders’ who make a meeting enjoyable, a meeting that counts.
