You will receive direct, practical advice
During your personal presentation skills coaching clinic you will learn how to successfully design and deliver effective face-to-face presentations; whether to boardroom groups, client meetings, presentations to staff or large conference audiences.
Because the clinic session is personal and private, you can get feedback and suggestions from Stuart on delicate issues that your colleagues and friends will not usually comment on such as mannerisms, speech, and posture.
Plus, you will get specific advice about your PowerPoint slides – changes can be made at the clinic – making it easier for you to deliver a great presentation.
The clinic is centred around your requirements
At the clinic there is no time wasted covering irrelevant topics. Your needs are individually catered for with discussion and practice centred around your specific presentation requirements.
Clinics may be held on your premises, or off-site in central CBD locations in capital cities ensuring easy access, minimising distractions and potential disturbances from your office, phones, and colleagues.
Our share price jumped by 60% over the two days I was presenting to investors. I used your ideas from the clinic and they really worked! Thank you.

Clinic tuition
A single 5-hour clinic session may be suitable if you are preparing for a presentation and wish to get specific advice to improve the structure and your delivery of that presentation. Tuition in Brisbane starts at $2,195.00 plus GST (other locations will vary) and includes:
- Pre-clinic review of your presentation material such as PowerPoint slides, handouts etc.
- Personal 5-hour coaching clinic, including delivery, critique, practice and improvement of your presentation. Video playback is used during the clinic to enable you to observe your own performance.
- 3-months direct access to the trainer.
- Comprehensive learning guide.
- Post-clinic review session after an actual presentation (including review of video footage if available).
Multi-session option
Many coaching clinic clients have found that a multi-session program is more suitable, especially if there is a need to cover a number of presentation opportunities. Senior executives find this option very practical as they can apply what we cover during the clinic sessions to their actual meetings and presentation situations, which is reviewed at the following session.
A program of 3 x 3.5 hour sessions is usually sufficient, although this can be altered to suit individual requirements.
Please note: Clinics are offered by appointment only and are held in central CBD locations. Venue may be on client premises (if suitable room and privacy is available) and will be confirmed at time of booking. Cancellations by client with more than 14 days notice will incur a fee of 50% of tuition. Cancellations within 14 days of the confirmed clinic date are not refundable.
I changed the PowerPoint’s as you suggested, and I could see my presentation really resonated with them. Thank you again for your wonderful help – it was very useful.
