The client
Debbie Lewis, on behalf of the NatWest Accelerator programme, commissioned this training session for employees responsible for running the accelerator programmes. These front-facing staff engage regularly with business customers, but they needed professional guidance on presenting effectively.
The challenge
While the team excelled in client interactions, they had never received structured presentation training. Their key challenges included:
- Uncertainty about how to structure an engaging presentation
- Lack of confidence when speaking in front of an audience
- Limited knowledge of techniques for both in-person and virtual presenting
The solution – action taken

- A tailored training session covering key aspects of public speaking
- Practical tips for delivering presentations both online and in person
- Hands-on exercises to build confidence and improve delivery
- Techniques for structuring talks to maximise audience engagement
- Advice on different presenting styles to suit various situations

The training had a significant impact on the attendees, leading to –
- A boost in confidence when presenting to an audience
- Clearer, more structured presentations
- Practical strategies for engaging and holding the audience’s attention
- Enthusiastic feedback from participants, who gained useful, actionable insights
