Kevin helps business owners, leaders and managers focus on what the audience needs to understand and what should happen next.<\/p>\n<h2>Build the talk around one useful outcome<\/h2>\n<p>A presentation is not a list of everything you know. Start with the decision, idea or action you want the audience to take away. Then choose the explanation and examples that support it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify the central message and remove distracting detail.<\/li>\n<li>Give the audience a clear opening, progression and ending.<\/li>\n<li>Work on pace, pauses and the effect of nerves on delivery.<\/li>\n<li>Consider non-verbal communication alongside the spoken words.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare for questions without relying on a word-for-word script.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Prepare for your actual audience<\/h2>\n<p>A team update needs a different level of explanation from an investor pitch. Include your audience, speaking time and event date when you enquire, and say whether you already have a draft or slides.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn from a speaker as well as a coach<\/h2>\n<p>Kevin is a TEDx speaker and Level 7 Coach and Mentor. His own talk provides a public example of his speaking work; it is not a guarantee of an individual coaching outcome.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UEPg0IJS2WQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Kevin&#8217;s TEDx talk on YouTube (opens in a new tab)<\/a><\/p>\n<section class=\"kor-service-facts\"><h2>Format, duration and fees<\/h2><dl><div><dt>Delivery<\/dt><dd>Ask Kevin to confirm the delivery format and location for your enquiry.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Duration<\/dt><dd>Session or workshop length is agreed before booking.
