Talk Less, Impact More: The Educator Edge for Speakers

For speakers and facilitators who want to lift the quality and impact of what they deliver, this is an interactive and practical workshop that will help you elevate a good presentation into something truly unforgettable.

You’re a great speaker. You’ve got personality, lived experience, you know how to hold yourself on stage.

When you cross over from a ‘Speaker’ into an ‘Educator’ role though, you might find that your sessions aren’t quite landing with the impact you know they could be. If so, is this you?

• Your runsheet is you talking for 80-90% of the time.

• Your learners aren’t actually doing much with the information you teach them, because you're providing them with so much information.

• Your learners might even be distracted, not really paying attention, or multitasking while they're in the workshop with you.

• Your session is missing something (the OOMPH) and you’re not sure how to fix it.

A way forward is possible, and the solutions aren’t as complicated as you might think.

Every strategy is demonstrated live, ready to use immediately, so you can walk away with your presentation - up-leveled.

"You are a gifted teacher, Maria Doyle infuse all your learning experiences with so much fun, it’s legendary." Tara Saxon

"Maria walks the talk, and made this workshop a place to laugh and learn, while packing in lots of ideas and techniques that I can’t wait to put into practice." Anne Rayner

"I learnt so much from you (as well as the rest of the group!) last week, Maria. Such a playful and invigorating workshop with so many “aha” moments of self-reflection. You’re unreal." Jack Starkey-Gill

"Maria’s workshop seriously exceeded my expectations! I came looking to learn how to incorporate more audience participation and engagement in my own presentations and Maria’s workshop was a master class in exactly what to do! Best money I’ve spent on professional development in a very long time. Would happily recommend!" Jason Blyth

"This was such a well spent morning! Maria you passed your energy, experience and knowledge onto us in such a fun and memorable way. Thank you." Petra Williams

In short, if your presentations are feeling a little lack lustre, that they don't have the OOMPH that you'd like, you've worked on the slide deck but there's still something missing, this workshop is for you.

We’ve all been learners in situations where we’ve felt dumb, bored, or thoroughly confused - and you know that's the last thing you want your audience to feel!

This workshop will help you create learning experiences that are the complete opposite for your audience: so they feel confident, engaged and ready to apply their new skills immediately.

This workshop demonstrates practical, time proven strategies to ensure teaching and learning in any context is effective, memorable and immediately applicable, including how inclusivity can bolster the facilitation of learning.

Your existing presentation, online course or training workshop upleveled!

This is not a theoretical class, this is you, seeing practical strategies in action, and reflecting on how you can use them in your own learning materials. What have you got to lose?

Wesfarmers Limited, Company Secretariat, WA:

“Maria helped us rethink our executive training on continuous disclosure and securities trading. She was instrumental in moving the training from a lecture format to one in which executives of all learning styles participate actively and, most importantly, understand and know how to apply the content. Maria’s experience, ideas and energy have transformed our training.”
