John Rayner

Testimonials

“I found John Rayner to be approachable, friendly and professional. I learned how to plan any type of business communication, with a different approach to getting a clear message across to the audience. As a result it Increased my confidence towards delivering presentations and learning to slow down to a digestible pace.”

“John Rayner’s approach during our presentation skills development was very consultative and involved everyone in the group. It wasn’t just the facilitator giving feedback, it was our peers as well. This meant it did not feel like the message was being pushed on us by the facilitator. Rather, as a group we worked towards our own ideals of what a good presentation should be. John taught me that less is more with PowerPoint presentations. I also learned that I need to control the audience better when I engage them in verbal interaction. I am much more able to produce improved presentations that rely less on PowerPoint and more on me delivering the message.”

“I would like to thank you for your recent involvement within the presentation planning for our biggest launch ever. We recently completed delivery of the presentation during an Australia wide “road show” to our main channel partner. You assisted us in refocusing on the fundamentals of our presentation whereby we had to present the language of our audience, emphasise our key points, review our key points and keep the entire presentation simple based on one clear focused message. At times like this when everyone is so enthusiastic and a large budget has been committed to a “road show”, we often try to inundate our audience with information at the risk of them just glazing over and missing the key points and focused message. Your quote (John) that certainly stuck through this entire process was, “With Great Risk Comes Great Reward”. During all “road show” presentations we presented the best we ever have to demonstrate the best product we have ever had. And, by simply keeping our presentation very simple and at your advice allowing the product to speak for itself, we experienced the best outcomes we could have hoped for in terms of presentation efficiency, effectiveness and audience “buy in”. Thank you again for being a part of our team during our biggest launch ever, which delivered great results. Looking forward to working with you again.”

“I found the workshop conducted by John Rayner to be a valuable learning in all forms of communication. His approach is very practical & encourages participation. We all tend to take communication for granted & forget about our audience or the message we want to get across. I now constantly stop & use the techniques, whether it be internally or with our external customers. Not a bad to use at home either! I would highly recommend John Rayner if you are looking to hone in on improving you or your teams communication impact.”

“John Rayner’s approach to entire Learning Process was, spot on… Please don’t change it. Interaction level during workshop was correct and all examples very useful. I personally learnt to focus my message “punches‟ to be aimed at audience needs. And, keep punching away until audience get it. I gained immediate tangible outcomes. For example, during my prospect presentation the day following workshop, my business gained a new client which wants a live demo towards purchasing a system. What more could I hope for during one presentation!”

“John Rayner has significantly increased my ability to plan, prepare and deliver powerful and effective business communications. I am better equipped to give simple yet strong and focused communications which communicate exactly what my audience need to know and the action they need to take. John’s professional yet informal style made the course an excellent personal and professional development experience.”

“Thank you for facilitating our workshop this week. On a personal level I found it to be extremely valuable to me in lifting my confidence. The planning will be much easier for me in future, I believe, especially with having a template to assist in creating the message while keeping any communication brief. I watched my presentations on the DVD you gave me and, even though I know there is still much room for improvement, I believe the difference between my first and last presentation is very wide. The two day workshop definitely lessened my presentation nerves. Many thanks!”
