At Persuade, we show people how to master the art of having credible, authentic business conversations that achieve results.
We offer a range of training and coaching options all around New Zealand, to help you and your people become better communicators. We offer full day workshops, bespoke sessions and one on one speaker coaching. We believe the only way you can create a real shift in your presentation skills is by presenting. So we work with small groups, to allow everyone to get plenty of practice and feedback. Click here for a full list of our offerings.
Jane Sheffield our lead trainer, has spent many years delivering pitches, strategic and creative presentations, keynote talks and training workshops around NZ, UK, Europe and the Middle East. Jane’s core belief is that authenic communications win every time, so at Persuade we won’t teach you how to act, perform or to become someone else. But we will teach you how to focus on the right areas, make the most of your own unique presentation style, and develop your communication skills to the next level.
