What Some PEP Practitioners Say...
Dear Owen, I would like to express my sincere thanks for what has proven to be an extremely creative, positive and inspirational in-house training programme providing a fresh approach to presentation skills for members of our team. As you know, there was a wide range of participants (from those who had never presented before to seasoned, professional presenters) on your PEP workshops and we are delighted that you delivered on your promise: To transform our presentation skills. Here are what some of them said:
'After attending PEP, I used the new format and the feedback was very positive: they said it was the best presentation I had ever done. They found that the methods I had employed helped them to retain the main points of my presentation. Overall: very enjoyable and informative training.' - Edward Gardner, Finance & Planning Director
'I really liked the different approach - how to deliver to different types of people and what techniques to use. Also, it was really good fun! The trainers were excellent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the most pro-active I've seen...'
'From being nervous and anxious about attending the course, I am so glad I did, I stretched myself and overcame fears... Thank you!'
On the strength of the programmes you delivered to us I am happy to recommend this workshop to anyone interested in transforming their presentation skills. It is dynamic, fun, challenging, and excellent value for money. Kind regards.

As a result of attending this thoroughly useful training I intend to volunteer for more presentations / offer services more in pitch situation. I liked the participatory aspect to the training, learning new things and using them as building blocks for the next presentation I would deliver. The trainer was informative and very knowledgable about NLP and has helped to heighten my confidence in presenting. I feel more relaxed about it and have a deeper understanding of what communications consist of - how they work. I will begin to use my new skills immediately: in daily business environment, presentations and pitch-situations. The program objectives were filled and I feel confident in referring others to this program.

This insightful course has improved my self-esteem! It has given me a very helpful framework for designing great presentations. The trainer's delivery was articulate, simple and straight-forward, and the objectives were met, so I feel confident in referring others to this very helpful course - it was much better than any other presentations skills course I've ever been on. Owen, thanks for opening my eyes!
- Noel Martyn, Director, Mediavest
The unique PEP training from NLP showed me techniques that helped me overcome indecision, fear and lack of confidence. Now I present in a way I would not have imagined before. Whether it's emotional issues holding you back from being the best presenter you can be, or whether it's the how-to's you're looking for to make for the most riveting and memorable presentations, then PEP is a must for you!
- Fionan Nolan, Director CGI Cold Stores
Having recently attended the PEP training delivered by Owen Pardue, NLP, I find that I am using the methods I have learned not only in presentations but in everyday dealings with my fellow colleagues and clients alike. The approach to learning is fresh and memorable, I feel energised, positive and somewhat unphased by larger tasks. The training has helped me greatly to focus through structure in numerous situations. Owen's delivery is relaxed and supportive, yet challenging every step of the way!

Hi Owen, May I take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for the presentation skills course which you delivered so expertly last week. I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable, highly interesting and very beneficial. I believe that the skills and techniques taught are practical and effective in very many ways and I have been delighted with the results to date. I will be fervently recommending the course to friends and colleagues and look forward to working with you further in the weeks ahead.

I was approached by an Engineering Company to give a Workshop on "Presentation & Communication Skills". As a qualified Practitioner of NLP, I started to piece together my Workshop. However, I still felt that there was something missing. I approached Owen Pardue to assist me in developing this Workshop. Having spent a day being coached and trained, I can honestly say that Owen is an excellent Coach & Trainer and with his help, I designed a Workshop that was "Better than the Best". So much so, that I was asked back again to do some more work. I would like to say: Thank you, Owen you have an excellent talent, and you obviously love what you do.
