STEVE SWEENEY

PRESENT LIKE A LEADER

At some point, most of us will need to give a presentation or we are already giving many! Whether the purpose is to educate, inspire, persuade or a combination of all three, many of the basic considerations will need to be incorporated to make it a presentation to remember for all the right reasons.

It’s very satisfying for me to help business leaders learn to –

Get over their nerves,
Prepare and structure their content,
Embed the hooks that win an audience,
Make statistics engaging, (Yes! It can be done!)
Use Zoom to advantage,
Keep their audience engaged from go to wo and
Leave their audience with a message they want to action.

I’ve been training business leaders through BNI and ARTA to give knockout presentations for 6 years and the confidence, capability and stage/screen presence they develop are wonderful to watch. Oh… and their audiences are grateful too.

Need to persuade, educate or inspire an audience? See you at the training.

Steve is the Owner and Head Trainer of ARTA. His role is to facilitate the development of Referral Teams so they run like well-oiled machines.

The largest referral generation organisation in the world, BNI, contracts him to train its members in the largest franchise territory in Australia. “I train them in the art and science of referral marketing.” The members of this region repeatedly generate over $65million in closed business every year… because they know what they are doing.

Business in Heels, a women’s business organisation, invites me to host workshops for delegates at their summits. These have been voted the most valuable of all the workshops. This Business Building Program is a collaboration between ARTA & BIH.

TINA DAISLEY

Trust + Authenticity = Rockstar Teams and Huge Results!

Working remotely is now our every day, yet many of us have had little, if any, training on how to be a great leader in a virtual environment. This workshop will give you tools and strategies to help with building team culture and engagement when you aren’t physically sitting in the same place.

How do I lead a remote team day today? How do I build trust with my team? How do I monitor their performance? What do I do when someone isn’t engaged? What does privacy and confidentiality mean when having tough conversations over technology? I used to take someone for a coffee to have an informal chat, how do I do that now? What boundaries do me and my team need to ensure we keep well and have a good balance? What is work-life balance when working from home?

We’ll explore the things you’re really struggling with or challenged by and give you practical strategies and skills to help you and your team move forward.

The only thing Tina loves more than partnering with organisations and individuals to build high-performing, trust-based teams, is working with people who are at a crossroad, feeling unsure about what’s next but committed to working it out and taking action.

Tina’s had over 20 years leading and managing teams, with the last ten of those in corporate HR/People and Culture executive roles. She now runs her own business helping people and teams to reconnect with their values and purpose and put in place a plan that means they are living their best lives now, both personally and professionally. Tina’s workshops are deliberately provoking, challenging everyone to think differently, be comfortable with discomfort and embrace the permission you have to make choices that are right for you and your teams.
