Richard talks to Simon Raybould, a presentations coach, based in the north east of England but delivering training around the country. They talk about the challenges MSPs face when it comes to giving presentations and what makes a presentation bad.

They also discuss how to deal with the fear of public speaking, how to make your presentations sharper and some practical tips you can implement straight away to help you feel more confident. 

Most of Simon’s work is delivered in-house for corporate organisations, with only one or two open-access workshops per year. However, he also offers a 45-minute clinic to go through your slides. You can find out more him about here: www.presentationgenius.info and find all of his blogs, videos and his book ‘Presentation Genius’. 

Drop him an email on Simon@presentationsgenius.info or get in touch on Twitter: @presentations. Alternatively, if you’d like to use a tool to help you put together your slides, visit www.design.presentationgenius.info and grab yourself a Presentation Design Pack. Following the step by step instructions will help you create a really good presentation.
