Presentation Skills Training for Professionals
You know your subject. Presenting it to a room full of people can take a different set of skills. Our presentation skills training helps you deliver your ideas with authority, keep your audience involved, and stay composed under pressure. You present, your trainer identifies specific changes to make, and you present again using that feedback. The focus is delivery: how you use your voice, body language, eye contact, pacing, and presence, in person or on camera.
Individuals can join Presenting With Impact, our two-day in-person workshop, at locations across the country. Live virtual workshops run in two three-hour sessions. Teams can book a private class on-site or virtually. For help with a specific presentation, you can work one-on-one with a coach. Classes stay small, so every participant presents several times and gets individual feedback.

The Six Delivery Skills We Coach
These are the six delivery skills we coach in every workshop. Building the message itself, including structure and slides, is covered in our Messaging and Structure Workshop.
01 / Voice
Speak with authority
Your audience needs to hear which points matter. You practice using volume, pace, and pauses to land a recommendation and give an important idea time to sink in. Your trainer will point out the habits that weaken your delivery, like trailing off, rushing, or filler words.
02 / Body Language
Look as credible as you are
How you stand and move shapes how your expertise comes across. We coach a grounded stance, deliberate movement, and gestures that reinforce your point. The recordings show the habits you don’t notice in the moment, like shifting your weight or hiding your hands.
03 / Eye Contact
Make your audience feel included
Scanning the room or reading from slides makes people feel talked at. You practice holding eye contact with one person through a complete thought, which works with six people at a conference table or two hundred in a ballroom.
04 / Composure
Stay steady under pressure
Most presenters feel some nerves, even experienced ones. You practice steadying your breathing, taking your time, and delivering your opening with intention.
05 / Engagement
Keep the room with you
Good presenters watch the room while they talk. You practice noticing when people drift or look confused, then adjusting on the spot by slowing down or asking a question.
06 / Virtual
Carry your presence through the screen
You practice looking into the lens instead of at the faces on your screen, keeping your gestures inside the frame, and using pace, pauses, and vocal emphasis. We coach this in both in-person and live virtual workshops.

What Our Clients Are Saying
I participated in a two-day class that involved effective presentations. I had taken classes before this presentation, but Mr. Dustin opened my mind to more resources than I had ever imagined using when presenting my training classes. I believe Dustin’s presentation, eye contact, utilizing my hand signals, and tone will help me tremendously in my career as a trainer.
Was pleasantly surprised by the effective presentations workshop! I never considered myself a particularly poor presenter, despite knowing there’s always room for improvement. But I learned much more than I expected and am recommending it to all my colleagues. I was skeptical of Dusty’s claim that the workshop would be one of the most important in our careers, and by the end, I can confidently say I agree! Dusty was a great instructor. He was patient, personable, and fun! He deserves all the high fives in the world.
In only 2 days, I was able to dramatically improve my presentation abilities. I came into the training struggling to command the room and to slow down so my message would sink in. By the end, I felt confident taking up space, slowing down, and delivering an effective message. Jess was our trainer, and she did a fantastic job explaining why we resort to our bad habits and how to overcome them. I highly recommend Effective Presentations to anyone who wants to improve their impact and presentation skills.
