About
I easily connect with introverts, but I also have great success supporting extroverts. I really enjoy immediately getting people past their perception of their skill level and then building on that foundation to become confident communicators. My training and talks always feature some laughter. Not because I do jokes <shudder>, but because I create a safe, creative setting where laughs can happen. That’s the skill I learnt as a stand-up comic: fearless, positive curiosity without ego. Too many people have suffered watching boring speakers delivering dreadful material. I’m on a mission to change that. No matter what sector you are in, I bet you’ve sat through some pretty tedious training. It doesn’t have to be like that; I make training sessions fun, interactive and meaningful. “Once in a generation, someone comes along who changes everything. Jon Torrens is not that person, but he met them once and tried to wow them with his Alec Guinness impression.”
Confident Communication
Online and physical communication – such as meetings, presentations, networking, phone calls and emails – can be ineffective and tedious. In this talk you’ll learn how to be heard, be authentic and make your message understood without ever being lost for words, whether you’re in the boardroom or in an online meeting. Specifically, how to: • create a great first impression • use a unique persona, showing your motivation and values • adopt the best mindset for success • use the surroundings to your advantage • express yourself confidently using body language • improvise for spontaneity and humour
Presentation Skills
In person or online, speaking in front of a group can be hard. You need tools to create concise, engaging material and then deliver it in a way that looks confident, grabs your audience's attention and keeps it until the very end. In this talk you'll learn how to: • show confidence and control your nerves • write rich, concise material with a story • engage the audience and keep their attention • communicate authentically • use visuals effectively • adapt to the unexpected
Your perspective matters!
