MEDIA & PRESENTATION SKILLS MASTERCLASSES
Our extensive list of multinational and government clients recognise that public speaking skills are an important asset for their senior executives.
Lead by former CNBC presenter Mark Laudi, our team provides half-day and full-day Media & Presentation Skills MasterClasses, and multi-session mentorships, with both theory and on-camera practise.

Confidence, Not Apprehension
Culturally and historically, people in Asia are not as forthright about speaking in public as their western counterparts. As a result, many people fear public speaking.
But when they rise to leadership positions in companies and governments, presenting to large audiences and in the media comes with the job.
This course helps your senior executives be:
Ready for the Roadshow
Your financial statements are prepared.
Your presentation materials are finalised.
But are you really ready to face the fund managers during the roadshow?
Or the analysts at your earnings briefing?
Or retail investors at the Annual General Meeting?
We help you:
- Face investors with confidence
- Build trust and credibility in the investing community
- Generate awareness and interest in your listed securities
- Develop a following among analysts and the media
- Overcome nerves and stage fright
Five unique features of our courses:
- Customised programs. The curriculum is tailored to your specific needs, based on your unique circumstances and requirements
- Personal attention. The focus is entirely on you and your executive team, not a classroom of people from disparate backgrounds and industries
