Most people are nervous about public speaking - even experienced senior executives. Coaching builds confidence, and is also very useful for presentations to smaller audiences - such as in client meetings or interviews. We cover:

• Understanding the audience
• Confidence building
• Your style
• Identifying and expressing key messages
• Delivering a message with impact
• Building rapport with any audience
• Handling questions and interruptions

We prefer to work with “live” material for all presenters - either individually, or in small groups. Coaching is effective in short sessions during the run up to an important presentation.

We are also asked to advise on conference planning and group presentations. Our coaching is always tailored to the client's needs and timescales.

Dyslexia in the Workplace Almost three million adults in the UK workforce suffer from dyslexia. Most people associate the condition with impaired reading skills, but in fact symptoms are more wide-ranging, including problems with maths, prioritising, absorbing and communicating information accurately and completing tasks in sequence. Adults with undiagnosed dyslexia have often developed sophisticated coping strategies, but can hit a wall when given autonomy over managing their day and their workload.

ARK now offers coaching support for dyslexia, including: dyslexia awareness for HR professionals; diagnostic testing; and coaching support for dyslexia sufferers and their line managers. We can help dyslexic people implement highly effective self-management action plans to reduce stress for themselves and their colleagues.
