"I first attended Matthew Holmes' Engaging Presenters course a few years ago, and it genuinely changed the way I thought about presenting. It is a course that is practical, memorable, and immediately useful.
This year, I engaged Matthew to come to Darwin and deliver the course to 20 members of my team. Professional development can be hit and miss, and it is pretty rare for a course to land this well across such a broad group of people. This one absolutely did.
All week afterwards, people were coming up to me to talk about how much they got out of it. Not just polite feedback, either. Proper enthusiasm. People were genuinely excited about what they had learnt, how Matthew delivered it, and how they could apply it straight away.
Matthew has a real gift for creating a room where people feel comfortable enough to step outside their comfort zone without feeling exposed or embarrassed. He is warm, funny, professional, and incredibly good at reading the room. He manages to challenge people while still making the whole experience enjoyable, which is not an easy balance to get right.
What stood out most to me was how personal and practical the course felt. It was not about turning everyone into the same polished presenter. It was about helping each person find a more confident, engaging and authentic version of themselves.
Matthew is also just a genuinely lovely person to deal with. From organising the course through to delivery, he was easy to work with, generous with his time, and clearly invested in making sure the team got real value from the experience.
I would recommend Matthew Holmes and Engaging Presenters without hesitation. It is one of the best professional development experiences I have been a part of, both as a participant and as someone responsible for bringing it to a team. If you want your people to communicate with more confidence, clarity and impact, Matthew is absolutely the person to speak to."
