Presentation Training
Business Presence offers highly personalized presentation training for executives and company spokespeople presenting internally or externally, on stage or in-meetings.
I’m a better communicator, and, as a result, a better professional.
The results of Marianne’s coaching reach off the screen and into the rest of my professional life. She coached into me a higher level of articulateness and clarity of conversation. This, I believe, now turns up in my live keynotes, training sessions, and even sales conversations.

Business Presence provides a range of services to enhance and develop your professional presence and performance. From on-camera prep to honing in your messaging, we can help.
Marianne is a force of nature, who is made for this work.
The results of our work have been completely tangible–within 6 months in the new role, I secured a promotion, pay rise, bonus and increased responsibility. I attribute this success largely to Marianne because she forced me to write down a promotion action plan during week two of the new job, which was the last thing on my mind at the time. Marianne then held me accountable to that plan. I intend to work with Marianne on and off for the rest of my career and I have no reservations in recommending her to anyone who values investing in themselves, no matter their life or career stage.
