Discover What It Takes To Deliver An Engaging Presentation

Do you want to be more successful in your personal and professional life?

Confidence is the key and I can show you where to find it.

What does “success” look like?

    A rewarding career
    A fulfilling relationship
    Masterful public speaking skills
    Outstanding interview technique
    Persuasive at board level
    Stronger sales presentations
    A richer social life

These are just some examples of what success means. The common theme is communication. The more effective you are at expressing ideas clearly and confidently, the more successful you will be in all aspects of life.

Knowing what to say is the easy part. We are all capable of learning communication skills.

Having the confidence to reach out and do, say or grab what we want out of life – that’s a different matter.
Where can you find confidence?

All the confidence you will ever need is within you, right now. The reason you may not always be aware of it is because of something else. Fear.

If I ask you to step into a ring with a world class heavyweight boxer, a healthy level of fear makes perfect sense. It is nature’s way of telling you to get out of that situation. Take another look at what success looks like and ask yourself this question: how is fear going to help you?

Being confident is a totally natural state. Look at the youngest children in a disco. Does fear stop them from dancing? Don’t let fear hold your confidence back. When you see fear for what it is, not based on any real threat, you allow your confidence to shine through.

I am here to show you how at either the iCan Speak Bootcamp or the more comprehensive 'Gravitas' Speakers Retreat.

Richard McCann is one of those very few people who you can call Genius. He is an exceptional talent who I would STRONGLY recommend for any individual or teams who want to improve and master presentation skills and advanced story telling. You will be blown away, like I was. Thanks a million Richard, fondest regards Paula Summerscales December 2017

I cannot express how engaging , informative and enjoyable the Story Telling training was with Richard. He really taps into your personality and ability and guides you to deliver your “story” with the enthusiasm, structure, and delivery it deserves. His supportive and positive attitude really helps you to progress very quickly. Highly recommend this course. Paula Short

I attended The Art of High Impact Storytelling with Richard, having previously attended an iCan Speak Bootcamp. My motivation for attending is I wanted to become a better presenter and public/motivational speaker. I have not only benefitted from that but also developed and more intuitive understanding of who I am and what I need to do. This is down to Richard. His story is compelling and inspiring, but it is also much more than his story, it is the story behind the story. Richard delivers an outstanding, highly motivational story and then is able to teach and motivate how to deliver your own story in such way I have not experienced in my career. I judge clients/customers on how many times they buy from you, I have bought Richard twice and I will buy again. Thanks, Peter Blacklock

I first attended one of Richard's 'ican speak' courses back in Feb 2016 following a strong recommendation from a colleague whose presenting skills I'd seen develop substantially over a short period of time. Unlike presentation skills courses I'd attended previously (provided internally by former employers), I found the format and content, along with Richards abundant enthusiasm, encouragement and support, to be a breath of fresh air. I left with a renewed confidence in my own abilities and have been happy to recommend the course to a number of contacts since. I was therefore delighted to have the opportunity to spend another day with Richard recently (June 2017) refining these skills further; with a particular focus on the art and power of storytelling when presenting. The concepts discussed and practiced during the day, in a safe environment and with Richards usual support and insight, brought a whole new dynamic on how to get your message across in the most effective way. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and left with a host of new ideas, tools, and techniques that I intend to put into practice. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to improve their presenting and communication skills. Ian Jackson Handlesbanken
