    Presenting 

    Knowing that public speaking is one of our greatest fears, Paulus asks “why don’t we spend more time overcoming and understanding that fear by learning to present ourselves with confidence?”

    Using his own experience as a coach, presenter and actor, plus his post-graduate Diploma in International Business, Paulus has developed a range of exercises to do just that – to give people a set of tools to approach TV presenting and Corporate Presentations in a professional manner.

    Working with small groups over time, Paulus develops trust within the group so that students and colleagues can work on their weaknesses, hone their strengths and feel more comfortable on camera and see camera as an opportunity rather than a threat, or with clients, whether in front of individuals or large groups.

    Presenters’ Platform Workshops

    Presenters’ Platform Courses 

    Eight-week courses with a maximum of eight people are offered at Paulus’s training Studio in Grey Lynn near Ponsonby.

    On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6.30pm to 9.30pm the small groups gather in an intimate atmosphere where each person gets a lot of individual attention and has the opportunity to explore their creativity, discover their point of difference and enrich their ability to present in front of others or camera.

    The Tuesday nights are advanced courses for anyone that has completed the initial eight-week course.

    Paulus can develop courses with individuals or groups to meet their specific needs. For instance Auto Cue/Tele Prompter training can be arranged individually or in a group.

    Students’ presentations throughout each course are filmed and Paulus creates a DVD of their work at the end of the course. Watching yourself on screen is daunting for most people, but by observing yourself on a regular basis you become more objective about what you are doing rather than worrying about how you look. By using your newly acquired skills to improve your performance, watching yourself becomes a tool for improving as well as practicing for your next audition.

    You are your own best critic but the positive reinforcement of the small-group setting works on many levels to improve self-awareness when presenting in any environment.

    Testimonials

      Paulus takes a genuine interest in you as an individual and provides ongoing support and encouragement on a one on one basis helping you to source and create opportunities. I took all 3 stages plus extra time utilizing Paulus’s ability to film and direct demos for me that got me work. I have also secured another ongoing presenting job here in Dubai thanks to the youtube site you made me.

      Presenters Platform is a unique course. Undoubtedly the best interpersonal communications course I have ever done. Paulus is certainly a talented teacher and facilitator. The content covered goes a lot deeper than mere skill development. Sign up if your looking for a course that will push you outside your comfort zone so that you can be a more effective speaker.

      The course blew me away. Not only did I expand my toolbox of skills, but I finished the courses being more confident – not just with presenting but with life in general. The courses gave me an X factor, and I’m so pleased I made the decision to enroll.

      The results have been amazing with incredible feedback from our staff. As a Company, we invest heavily in further education and I would have to say that Paulus’s sessions with our team have been the most successful thing we have done so far.

      Paulus’s Presenter Platform Courses are awesome! I have done two courses and I walked away having developed confidence with and without the camera. The skills you learn from his courses are invaluable and I would recommend to anyone trying to get into the industry.
