What people say about working with me
Kolarele delivered an excellent presentation to our Business School students on ‘How to deliver excellent presentations!’ The academic staff and students were all very impressed and inspired to work on their own presenting style. We have also booked Kolarele to speak at a University of East Anglia Summer School. It has been very easy to work with Kolarele and I would recommend him and his work as a very worthwhile investment!
LisaAfter being impressed by Kolarele at some sales training he was doing for my company, I signed up to one of his sessions on powerful presentations. The session was great because it looked at every aspect from concept, content and structure through to delivery. I have been more confident in the presentations I have done since, I feel they are more engaging and are having more impact with the audience. Kolarele has a good training style and I’d recommend the session I did to anyone looking to impove their presentations.
KevinWorking with Kolarele really helped me crystallise what I wanted to do with clients, and how I wanted to help them battle their villain. Very insightful and definitely informative!
DomKola has been for many years a distinguished orator who has always impressed when on stage presenting to others. I recently put him in touch with one of my friends who had to deliver a defining speech that was of significant importance to him. What was particularly impressive is how over a very short period of time, Kola was able to transform (by providing the tools, know-how and techniques) my friend from somebody who was nervous, stuttering and with poor body language and unclear messages when speaking to an audience, into somebody who was evidently self-confident, impactful, thought-provoking with crisp messaging. In short, my friend suddenly gained some much-needed presence and the audience could not quite believe the transformation!
EkeneI have worked with Kolarele on several occasions and have been profoundly impacted by his professionalism and ability to put across his point. I have learnt much about presenting; just by listening to him talk feels like you are attending a coaching session. He has an engaging manner with a delivery style that is thoughtful and deliberate. I look forward to working with him again and highly recommend him as a presentation coach.
MichaelI can highly recommend Kolarele for speech writing and coaching. As a business owner the need to present my business clearly is critical. Kolarele has been a great help with building my confidence and giving me the tools to perform at my best. My business presentations are becoming more effective and memorable and I have been amazed at the results – I have won several awards of ‘Best Speech’ at networking events!l
