Speaker Sessions

Powerful Presenting for Leaders

How to handle our nerves, really connect and feel like a presentation rockstar.

Whether it is a Monday morning team meeting, sales pitch or conference keynote speech, presentations are used regularly to try to increase sales, boost customer loyalty, inspire staff and create real value.

But more often than not, they fall short. Most presentatons have little structure, rely too heavily on technology and are too long or text-heavy. In this session, David Thomas shows every participant how to be better in front of any audience by taking them through his unique process. They will walk away with a template they can apply to every presentation.

Masterclass content:

  • Best practice on the fundamentals
  • How to get the audience on side inside 60 secs
  • How to make your message unique
  • How to manage the stress of speaking
  • Best use of technology
  • How to speak without notes
  • The astonishing power of stories
  • How to finish with a bang!

David Thomas is a speaker with an unbelievable and inspirational story who will show your audience how to manage change and challenge. David's childhood was one of terrible abuse at the hands of his alcoholic mother and physically abusive stepfather. At 16, he attempted suicide twice, got in trouble with the police, was kicked out of school and received a criminal conviction.

He left home, turned his life around and joined the Fire Service. He was an operational firefighter for 11 years. During that time, he bought a book on memory to help him pass his exams. 8 months later he entered his first World Memory Championships and went on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history. 

He has since gone on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history including breaking a Guinness record for memorising and reciting the Maths formula Pi to 22,500 digits. David is now an international speaker, Sunday Times #1 bestselling author and media personality, even appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show that went out to 500 million people worldwide.

"David Thomas successfully mixes humility and humour to captivate, educate and amaze his audiences. Everybody who is serious about their success should move mountains to hear him." Steve Pipe, Chairman AVN
