‘Have You Got News For Us?’ 08:00 – 11:00 Tuesday 13th November 2018: Derby

What makes news, and what makes reporters run a news story? These are the questions we get to grips with during my popular ‘Have You Got News for Us?’ workshop, hosted by the D2N2 LEP.

 

I’ll be joining forces with Steve Hall, Editor-in-Chief East Midlands (Derby Telegraph, Nottingham Post, Leicester Mercury and Burton Mail) on Tuesday 13th November to run this event on behalf of D2N2 LEP.

 

It’s an 08:00 start at The Riverside but you get breakfast and will be away by 11:00 with more ideas than you can shake a stick at.

 

Come ready to learn why media coverage is good for business, how to find a news story, and how to pitch the story to an editor. It’s highly interactive, at times combative, but crucially fun. 

 

And it’s FREE but you must register here.  And you absolutely must turn up!

Presentation Skills Masterclass: 15th November 2018 08:30 – 13:00 central Nottingham: £90 (£75 +vat) per person

 

Don’t you just love it when a speech is designed with you in mind, gets to the point quickly, and ends just as you want more?

Sadly, I reckon only 5% of presentations I’ve heard recently have managed to get the Louise Third thumbs-up.

So I’m on a mission. To convert presentations from woeful to wonderful.

 

If your talks and presentations have become a bit weary and have lost their impact, my next Speaker Masterclass workshop is for you. Why not reward yourself a half-day away from the office to learn and practice under my guidance in a small group setting?

-Save precious time by using focused presentation planning tools;


-Overcome nerves, build confidence and experiment with new content and delivery styles;


-Improve your audience response-to-action rate;


-Re-establish your professional ‘presence’ and gravitas.

Refine and develop your unique speaker style;


-Take complete control of the speaking opportunity to benefit you and your audience;


-Organise your thoughts under a single clear, memorable and compelling message;


-Connect with the audience in an informal, engaging and persuasive manner using story-telling, facts and emotion;
