“Mel came highly recommended and delivered a workshop for us on pitch and presentation skills aimed at arts fundraisers. She worked with us to tailor the content appropriately for the audience and the feedback from participants was fantastic with lots of comments about what an engaging presenter Mel is. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mel on this initiative and I would happily do so again should the opportunity arise.”
“Presentations have always been a major fear factor and something I have avoided. I attended Mel’s Presentation Skills Training and found her to be an excellent trainer, extremely personable and so encouraging. A few weeks after the training I was asked to speak at an event at my work to 80+ people. On the day, whilst nervous, it didn’t come across and got excellent feedback. I couldn’t have achieved this without Mel’s training and the belief that she installed in myself to be a more confident and credible public speaker. Highly recommended.”
