Up Front is all about giving you the tools and confidence to deliver brilliant presentations every time. We turn endurance into enjoyment !
We work with groups and individuals training and coaching them to deliver presentations with confidence, credibility and power.
We embrace, harness and grow everything that makes you uniquely you, liberating people to be the very best version of themselves – no sausage making factory here!
It’s not about perfection. We believe everyone has all they need to grow and change, we unleash the sometimes hidden potential.
All our training and coaching is designed with a balance of input and experiential learning packed with practical, tips, techniques & ideas. Learning & growth is achieved in 4 ways – input, modelling, experience & feedback. We draw on techniques from the worlds of theatre and NLP (neuro linguistic programming).
Our style is energetic and fun, with a serious intent using a range of approaches to develop self awareness, technique and competence. We know that people can be really stretched beyond their comfort zones when they feel relaxed and able to trust. The space we create is both high on challenge and support to maximize growth and learning.
If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you!
Working with small groups of up to 6 we begin with individual calls to each participant to understand roles, current & future presenting & what they want to achieve. The workshop is then tailored to the specific needs of the group, making the best use of our face to face time. Core areas covered include:
Channelling nervous energy
The audience
Structure & content
Performance
Visuals
Successful Q & A
Of course practise is essential & we make use of our ready made audience to receive instant feedback. Often the most valuable insights come from colleagues.

Taking it to the next level … to persuade with power in your
presentations we have an extra option to build self-awareness. By
completing the Myers Briggs Type Indicator personality profiling tool and
receiving feedback you’ll understand how you approach presenting
gaining insights into how your audience uses information to make
decisions which will boost your presence and influence.
Coaching programmes vary and work well where clients are supported for 3 one to one sessions over a suitable timeframe. Your individual programme will be unique to meet your needs & your situation & could include virtual coaching, in-situ observation & feedback.
