Fantastic. Highly recommended engaging course to improve presentation skills and confidence.
“Present with Confidence” was a great, methodical approach to presentations. It helped me gain some tools to use to deliver presentations with more impact. The course was much less intense than other public speaking groups that I’ve completed in the past, and much more relevant to the business world.
Very useful, game-changer.
Fantastic tools and framework to help with flow and confidence.
A great and productive program.

I cannot overstate the value, our team have overwhelmingly voted it the best course they have ever attended.
In more than 20 years in business this was by far the most outstanding professional development course in which I have had the pleasure of participating. Never have I spent 17 hours more effectively. Absolutely sensational.
An excellent and clear set of tools to craft presentations.
Couldn’t rate it more highly, very recommended.
This program will change the way you present to your audience and get a result.
Excellent intro to the world of online presenting. Instructor did a great job engaging the attendees and keeping the workshop interactive. The Presentation Mapper tool was very useful in changing our mindset about how we should go about preparing a presentation so as to maximise its effectiveness.
Brilliant structure to the content with easy to follow steps.
Practical knowledge I can use to structure and make high impact presentations.
Knowledgeable consultant with a jam-packed masterclass.
One of the best presentation skills training.
This is by far the most effective presentation training I have ever attended and will be something we can operationalise as an organisation to continue getting value from it over the long term.
I thought the program was fantastic – the best I have participated in during my time with GPT. Cheryl clearly took the time to tailor the program based on the initial feedback the team provided, and her approach throughout the workshop felt very targeted and personalized. Each section was very considered.
It was one of the best learning programs I’ve been in and specifically the facilitator – Cheryl drove this enjoyability.
Finally, presentation training that is practical and scalable across organisations, this will take my presentations to the next level. Well done to the SecondNature team.
A fantastic and really hands-on course that gave me practical tools to apply in my role and boosted my confidence as a presenter. I really loved one-on-one “before” and “after” sessions with the coach and her personalised feedback. I could clearly see the difference it made to the quality, structure and delivery of my presentation – and my overall confidence. Cheryl was an absolute pleasure to work with, she made me feel at ease straight away, and made it fun and super interactive in the group sessions too. One of the most useful courses I have ever done, thank you Cheryl!
One of the most interactive & engaging Online training session I’ve ever attended; great Coach, great sessions!
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.
Great program – I came away with increased confidence in presenting and a toolbox to create logical flowing presentations that are tailored to the audience.
It’s a real good program that I recommend to anyone who needs to present.
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. The facilitator Cheryl was a pleasure to work with. Although I have just completed the course I think the option of ongoing remote support and online resources available through the portal will be very beneficial.
In just two sessions, Second Nature provided me with the tools, advice and confidence to create persuasive presentations. Cheryl was fantastic, her expertise and encouragement allowed me to think about presenting in new ways, and let go of some of my anxiety in this area. Professional development has never been more enjoyable!
Outstanding structure. Powerful tool. Customised advice and coaching. This is one of the most practical training sessions for managers to make the transition to senior managers’ skills and confidence.
Belinda is an absolute expert in reading, analysing and getting the best out of every individual. Magical to watch.
I found this the most useful training session I have been through. I loved the program and will definitely use what I have learnt in a multitude of aspects throughout my career.
Vital and essential if you want to improve your presentation / public speaking skills.
Can take anyone from a dead average speaker to very competent across 2 days of enjoyable education and coaching.

Great content and execution, with valuable insights to help improve presentation skills.
Cheryl was great and delivered the course in a very engaging manner. She kept the sessions interactive and lively. I have picked up so many tips and can see a huge improvement in the way I now deliver presentations. The one-one feedback was really helpful and is personalized. Love that there is support after completing the course.
I have participated in several external work course, the Pitch-2-Win I rank as no. 1 for content, instructor, enjoyment.
Worth it! Should have had this training decades ago.
Even for an experienced presenter, the course will refine your style and approach. It really is a 5 Star course.
Fantastic program that delivers results.
Fantastic – really hands on and techniques we can apply immediately.
Great course to set up for presentation success in how to be more persuasive.
Amazing. I didn’t think a 2-Day workshop would create such a positive impact.
If you’re time poor you really need to make time for this course.
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.
Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve presentation skills.
An informative and engaging short program filled with surprisingly many practical and common-sense tips and techniques for presenting with impact and confidence.
Fantastic course. I really enjoyed learning practical skills that will help me immensely in my day-to-day role.
…SecondNature helped elevate a training program into an ‘experience’. I cannot rate the program more highly.
Cheryl was a superstar, and really helped me and the Veeam team with structuring presentations with the aid of a presentation mapper. With the majority of us presenting remotely using video conferencing, Cheryl provided very useful feedback on how we can appear and sound more professional on camera.
A compelling two day journey that gets the best from everyone.
