A great idea is only powerful if it’s communicated well.

In this practical and engaging talk, Louise Stevenson breaks down what makes presentations and pitches land — and why so many fail to connect, even when the content is strong. This session focuses on structure, clarity, and delivery, giving audiences the tools to communicate ideas with confidence and impact.

Drawing on decades of experience as a communications coach, comedian and professional speaker, Louise demystifies the pitching process and shows how to create presentations that are clear, persuasive, and audience-focused. From shaping a strong opening to delivering a confident close, this talk covers the essentials that transform nervous presenters into credible, compelling communicators.

Audiences will learn: • how to structure presentations so messages are clear and memorable • how to pitch ideas with confidence, not waffle • how to engage an audience from the first minute • how to use slides as support, not a script • how to deliver with clarity, authority, and presence

This talk is practical, energising, and immediately useful. Audiences leave with a clear framework they can apply to pitches, presentations, meetings, and high-stakes conversations straight away.

Ideal for leadership teams, sales and business development roles, entrepreneurs, and professionals who need to present ideas clearly and influence with confidence.
