Fantastic program with deliverables that can be used immediately.
Really great program built around specific tools and techniques that are easy to use and understand.
Before this program I thought I had seen it all, attending course after course that started with the message "Just use our method and your presentations will get better (zzzzzzz....)". I started with the expectation that it would be another snooze-fest. How wrong was I! SecondNature's learning practice takes you step-by-step through a method that delivers exceptional, persuasive presentations in way that I've never seen before but that makes a great deal of sense. I’m now looking forward to using my new skills and kicking some career goals, thanks to the SecondNature Team!

Janssen
I've been doing formal and informal presentations to small and large audiences for 20+ years and while I knew I was quite OK at it, it was something I'd largely developed along the way, and I'd never had any kind of formal training or evaluation, especially with online presentations. The programme provided lots of small, practicable insights that are relevant to everyone, including the more experienced who think they know it all (i.e. me). The feedback is also easy to address. By keeping my eye on the things Gareth pointed out, I can tell that my presentation skills have improved markedly in a short time.

I found the training to be very specific to my needs and can see a great benefit from going through the sessions. It was organic and natural, very much focused on my personal and business needs.

Cheryl was outstanding and had the full attention of the room all day! Her content is highly relevant and engaging, and her warm and approachable personality made the session a real delight for the new grads. I highly recommend Cheryl and the team at SecondNature and look forward to using her services to increase capability and support our learning & development within our business. Kate Mason, Early Careers Manager, ANZ Mars Global Services

Genuinely one of, if not the, best professional training workshops I've ever done. It will improve your presenting ability more thah you thought possible.

Amazing. I didn’t think a 2-Day workshop would create such a positive impact.
This (online) program was clever in the way it adapted its content to fit with these challenging covid times. I could really see how much I had absorbed in the 5 workshops when I was able to present a previous presentation using the skills learnt. I was almost embarrassed about how bad my initial presentation was. Thank you Second Nature!
Straight to the point with engaging slides and a fantastic facilitator. Cheryl is an incredibly talented presenter who keeps you engaged and informed. The (online) course taught me a lot of presentation skills which I would not have known otherwise. Thanks Cheryl!

High engaging course, with hugely impactful content that will make a difference to how you view presentations from henceforth.
It is an amazing program - I absolutely adore the mapper it is really helpful and can be used to present any topic! Cheryl is a brilliant facilitator!
I think of presentation as storytelling. The presentation mapper is a great way to curate your story and structure it in a logical way to deliver it grab the audience's attention. It helps you think if the story you want to tell and help you find the best way to tell it. Cheryl was amazing and very patient, great interactive sessions.
Great program that improved my presentation skills and deck with a personal coaching. My deck used to have too many words. Now, I use a variety of visuals to deliver the message. Everyone who is presenting must attend this program.
Tourism Australia
If you're time poor you really need to make time for this course.
Tourism Fiji
I've always felt I'm an ok presenter but really wanted to take my skills to the next level - to feel that I present with conviction and inspiration - especially when I'm presenting on behalf of my organisation. Presenting for Applause absolutely helped me achieve that. The framework felt so obvious that initially I wasn't sure I was learning anything new, but the way it all came together when I applied it to a major presentation blew me away. I actually enjoyed the presentation I delivered (unheard of for me!) and couldn't believe how much my confidence had grown. I could not recommend the course more.
