Drawing on his marketing experience, Geoff Cotton has developed a talk, Presentations: Traps and Tricks™, which he gives regularly to companies and organisations, either as a guest speaker or as part of a presentation workshop.

The talk identifies the presenting pitfalls which we fall into when making presentations; it also reveals tricks of the trade to avoid the traps and improve the delivery of the presentation.

The Presentations: Traps and Tricks™ talk can also be integrated into Presentation Workshops run by Geoff Cotton, where he gives personal tuition to groups of clients who wish to improve their presentation skills. The workshops include two video sessions - 'before and after' - with a copy of their video for each client.
