From Mindset to Mic Drop: Presentations That Pay Off

In this two-hour online session, communication coach Martin Barnes will guide you step by step through the Intentional Communication Framework — from mindset, to strategy, to message, to performance, to design. Imagine 5 layers of Lego blocks ascending like stairs. Each building on the last, giving you a complete toolkit to present with confidence and clarity.

This is a content-rich, lecture-style session: Martin will share core skills at every stage of the framework, illustrated with real case studies from founders, leaders, and professionals who have pitched under pressure.

You’ll hear how:

- A nervous founder won a startup competition through purpose and performance.
- A quick-thinking entrepreneur secured an investor with a two-minute phone pitch.
- A brand landed a major retail deal by shifting from vision to proof at the right moment.
- A speaker transformed a three-minute slot into a global speaking tour.
- Two CEOs at the same conference revealed the stark difference between a lecture that fell flat and a story-driven talk that landed with energy.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the five building blocks of intentional communication, plus practical techniques you can immediately apply to your own pitches, presentations, and talks.
