We customise coaching to the personality of every individual presenter using CliftonStrengths® Chat with us Drop us a message Media and presentation skills for those who don’t like to present To overcome stage fright We recognise not everyone looks forward to delivering a conference keynote, or to being interviewed for a written article or a television report. In fact, you might even have a phobia of it. There are more than a dozen different forms of stage fright. But no matter what makes you nervous, we can help. Everyone has special talents, and our Gallup-certified CliftonStrengths coach Mark Laudi can help you draw on your talents to deliver a creditable presentation without the nerves. Outcomes: • Less discomfort when presenting • More cohesive, less nerve-wracking media interviews • Better presentations • More enjoyment from presenting – you might even start to look forward it! You will learn: • How to draw on your hidden talents for public speaking and media interviews • How to develop your talents into strengths that help you overcome your fear of presenting WHAT SETS OUR COURSE APART Most trainers focus on their curriculum, not the individual.

This simply won’t work. No amount of rehearsing will help you turn a weakness in presenting into a strength. For the first time in Asia, we make the techniques fit in with you. Even if you think you're a terrible presenter, you always feel under-prepared, you don't like crowds, or you risk making a fool of yourself, we can help you build your confidence and rise above old fears.

We customise coaching to the personality of every individual presenter using CliftonStrengths® Chat with us Drop us a message Big Data Communications Training in presenting data effectively Big data is worth little if you can’t derive business outcomes from it. Analysis automation, conversational analysis and augmented analytics will become essential, but these will not absolve presenters in corporate boardrooms everywhere from making the data more accessible. Never before has so much data had to be presented to senior leadership teams, and never before have business leaders had to interpret such large amounts of data and act on it. But all too often, data is presented as an end in itself. Presentations featuring charts, graphs, or even live dashboards usually leave open the questions of “So what?" and “Now what? That’s where our megadata communications workshops come in. Outcomes: • Greater insights • Less ambiguity, fewer misunderstandings • Reduced disconnect between those who generate the data and the senior leaders they are presenting to • Shorter meetings • More value from data You will learn: • How to structure a Big Data presentation • How to identify and present patterns and themes • How to deal with data points which run contrary to your conclusions • How to interact with your presentation materials and dashboards • How to bring the data to life WHAT SETS OUR COURSE APART This course focuses specifically on the unique challenges of communicating data. Leveraging your existing Tableau or Qlik live dashboards or presentation materials, you can immediately apply key learnings to your own work environment.

Empower students with future‑ready soft skills. A blended presentation skills course that builds executive presence, confidence, and real‑world communication ability. Business presentations for future leaders Training in executive presence for students Asia's leading universities are already of a global standard. But they recognise that academic performance must be coupled with soft skills to ensure their graduates are future-ready. We offer a market-proven blended learning course which allows students to receive both conceptual instruction in a Gen Z-friendly format, and the rigour of practical application and feedback. Course structure: 1. Students take the online video course in the HBM Academy and complete the quizzes. We provide vouchers so your selected students are able to access the course for free, or at a reduced rate. 2. Optionally, Students take part in practical workshops in small groups to put their learnings into practise. These can be conducted either on your campus or in our purpose-built training facilities in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Outcomes: Greater ability to articulate their thoughts and ideas Better feedback from employers More effective brand ambassadors for your university or college They will learn: How to structure and deliver their presentation How to attain, retain and regain audience attention How to present at companies where they are interning How to build their executive presence How to overcome stage fright How to do well at digital interviews What sets our course apart Our workshops and MasterClasses are: Customisable Decide which of your student cohort attends the practical workshops, how much each of them co-pays, and where to hold the workshops Scalable Roll out the online course materials to your entire student body Time-saving Filter by source, language and date. Refine your alerStudents only commit a short amount of time for the online training, and one hour for the practical workshopst by adding or deleting keywords. The challenges we solve for administrators at universities and colleges: 1. Not enough time - Some universities already offer presentation skills courses. But there simply are not enough hours in the day for universities to teach everything students need. 2. Students are reluctant to commit - And who can blame them. When you have sat in lectures and tutorials all week, and put in additional hours after hours for project work and study, it's no wonder they are reluctant to show up for weekend courses. 3. Budgets are limited - Most universities want all their students to benefit from a presentation skills course. But the cost-per-student becomes prohibitive because current in-class courses are not scalable. 4. Scale is critical - The technology is readily available and market-proven. This is why our course takes a "flipped classroom" approach. Would you like to know more about producing video?
