Our company was in a situation where we really needed to steer the ship in another direction. After participating in Davids workshop ”Modern Presentation Skills Step 2” I contacted him to see if he was the right person for the job. Indeed he was, so we sprung to it. David gave us a very thought through model and process to work on. We started to plan a date, a full dayfor our 1500 employees where we wanted to describe what a fantastic company we are, our legacy and where we are going. We educated and coached all the speakers for the day, their messages were set, the content for the presentations were perfected. I remember us going through a little over 50 criterias that needed to be fulfilled to get the exact wished result on the big day. Even the premises got a touch up from David – colors, lighting, fabrics, decorations… a lot had to be changed to create the perfect result. When the day came everything was where it should be and the speakers performance beautifully executed. The result over exceeded all our expectations, even weeks, months after the big day. Thank you David for an immeasurable contribution!

It is now a few months since we completed our Presentation Technique training session with you, and I am happy to give you some feed back on our experience and the outcome of our joint effort.

As an international consultancy firm we are very dependant on how we present our services, get our messages across to our clients, and last but not least, it is important the client perception is equal to our intentions in our messages.

Based on your previous knowledge about Mantec as well as our in-put on individual participants, you prepared a tailor made training sequence consisting of 4 full day sessions. The first and probably most important experience from our side was the good atmosphere during all sessions and the fact that we had a lot of fun during the process of improving our skills. The sequential learning process worked out very well for us, and with a competitive group we were able to “pressure” ourselves and each other to focus and perform.

Now half a year later I am happy to report that all participants have improved their performance when making presentations and sales calls, and one of the members has actually propelled to being the top performer within our company. Probably not only due to the training program, but I am confident that the training, the new features we were taught and an overall better understanding of presentation techniques and skills, combined with the motivational kick we all got out the training has played a vital role in this development.

We are happy to David our best recommendation for professionals wanting to excel in motivating their audience.

Thanks for the very uesfull insight training on presentation skills. The way you mastered the topic and showed deep insight knowledge, all the way down to “brain reactions” with reasonings for how presentations is perceived from the receiver, impressed all of us (being very analythical audience…) As I understood you were not used to make the presentation in english, we never realized any complications and you managed to phrase the presentation without missing the core-message as well as providing the “extra touch and feeling” in communications It is with warm hand I recommend you as an inspiring and knowledgeable presenter in the area of “Presentation technique”.

Presentation skills seminar/training by David Phillips was definitely the best I attended recently. Regardless obvious deep knowledge concerning this topic, Mr. Philips managed to focus on the perfectly selected key issues. By this he made this topic for us “ beginners” interesting and easy to follow all the time. It was so exciting to find out, how much can be achieved / improved in our communication by implementing just a small and simple change. Our final “trial by fire” was the best way to remember what we have learned. I would say that Mr. Philips simply proofed his mastership. Moreover, all that was managed in very relaxed atmosphere and in English, which was not a mother language for anyone of us. My congratulation and warm recommendation to everyone.
