Apr 10,2021The Effective Communication training session my team and I had with Pink Elephant was nothing short of incredible. Speaking from my own standpoint, presenting to a wide audience has always been a fair way out of my comfort zone and this was an area we tackled in an honest open forum in our session. Andrew and Colin used their wealth of experience to tackle any concerns we had from the outset by highlighting some clever examples and demonstrating how to deal with a whole host of issues that can arise in a live presentation. The end result of just a day’s session was a feeling of much more confidence and a desire to put these techniques into practice. In a short space of time the guys helped demonstrate how we can communicate much more effectively as a team, inclusive of incredibly effective ways of cutting down meeting time duration whilst retaining (and making!) all of the points needed. A further testament to their impressive ability to use time more efficiently was how many topics we covered in a day, from streamlining communication with both internal and external stakeholder liaison to business reputation management. Highly recommend this session and a personal indicator of how worthwhile this was for me is how aware I am of what I’ve already put in practice. And that I finally don’t feel like I’ve run a marathon when I’ve finished a presentation!

Feb 09,2021Pink Elephant delivered our training virtually and it was everything we asked for and more. Knowledgeable and supportive trainers - both the presentation and interactive sessions delivered exactly what we were after. Highly recommend, and we look forward to more Pink Elephant training sessions in the future.

Jan 27,2021The presentation and communication training we got from Pink Elephant was truly amazing. It was a fully remote session (between Australia and the UK) and I got out of it significantly more than I had anticipated for this type of setting. I highly recommend these guys to anyone who wishes to improve their ability to present and communicate.

Dec 16,2020Thoroughly enjoyed the communication course I took part in, it was by far the best training course I have ever been on; excellent content delivered in an engaging & interactive way. Bill & Colin were fantastic! I took away so many learnings that I have already started putting in to practice. Thank you!

Nov 12,2020Honest, open, thoughtful and constructive Media Training delivered by Colin and Bill. The group was a little nervous but we soon entered into the world of Pink Elephants with gusto. Excellent tips and tricks by two supreme professionals in their field. Very enlightening in these challenging times!

Sep 09,2020Pink Elephant were very accommodating when arranging training for a larger group. The training was professionally delivered over Zoom, key practical and interactive elements of the training were delivered well. It is clear Pink Elephant have considered how to adapt their services and training to customers while working from home.

Aug 21,2020Pink Elephant delivered tremendous training in communicating via webinars. As a result, our skills and confidence in on-line presenting have improved overnight. I’m also sure that our work in other channels will benefit from their practical coaching positive approach.

Aug 21,2020Pink Elephant Communications deliver every time. The team members embody the skills taught. Always great content, delivered well and mixed with plenty of fun. They know exactly how to nurture their clients to get excellent results. If you need a company to help you present yourself to your audience, this is the one for you. Special shout out to Andrew and Colin for providing an excellent web-based workshop for our team this week. Really helped us develop our webinar presenter skills.

Apr 30,2020Having been scheduled to take part in Pink Elephant's Presentation Masterclass mid March, it was great that alternative arrangements were made for us to receive the course through video conferencing due to the current situation. None of the value of the course was lost via this medium. The course was well structured and executed with enthusiasm and encouragement, with lots to learn and benefit from attending. I particularly liked how Andrew's advice and commendation was commensurate to each individual participants starting ability verses their final presentation. It truly made everyone feel like they had achieved and everyone was a winner from the learning (albeit that there is only ever one winner for the Pink Elephant Mug - and alas, it wasn't me). Always an enjoyable experience with vibrant, fun and enthusiastic learning with Pink Elephant.

Mar 16,2020We received an excellent session from Andrew and Colin on 9th March. The training was engaging and well-delivered, using a good blend of practice and theory. We really benefited from their experience, which was shared with genuine enthusiasm. Brilliant!

Mar 15,2020Brilliant. This course was a refresher for me and as good as before. It is staggering to see how word-use and body language can come across to our listener. The course is riddled with example videos, good banter and effective exercises. One of the best courses I have been on.

Jan 20,2020The Pink Elephant Presentation Skills course was hands down the most engaging and insightful course I have attended and one where I walked away feeling that I had learnt so much. I was blown away at how the course was presented in a manner that clearly demonstrated what was being taught (practiced what they preached). This really drove home the points that were being made. I was also amazed at how live feedback was provided towards my practice presentation. This in itself was invaluable! Fantastic and would highly recommend!

Dec 17,2019Amazed at the insights that Andrew and Colin brought to the table on how to get messages across better. Very ' sticky' communication - easy to remember and start implementing! Well done! Would definitely recommend!

Dec 10,2019Well-prepared and entertaining trainers covered a very important topic: presentation skills. The attributes they taught us were important when presenting could be observed in all their communications. They gave constructive feedback, good remarks, things that one can learn from. Colin and Andrew had a session for us I would happily recommend. If you are thinking about it, go for it! Thank you!

Dec 10,2019Presentation Training Well structured and hugely beneficial preparation to deliver an interview presentation. Both Andrew and Colin explain the detail of how to present with confidence, including the tone and speed of speach, eye contact and body language. You are filmed and after each presentation they provide analysis to help you improve further. Would highly recommend 1 to 1 and group training to deliver best to your abilities when it matters the most and to generally improve your confidence in public speaking. Jule Plesko

Oct 28,2019I attended the 1 day presentation and media training course. It was taken by Andrew and i found the whole experience excellent! I was made to feel very comfortable and welcome and instantly put at ease by Hilary and Andrew. The course itself was very interesting and the improvement in my presenting skills from the start to the end of the day were amazing! I feel much more capable of presenting to an audience now, and have also managed to make some pretty good online content for my company too. I couldn't recommend this training highly enough for anyone looking for some guidance and advice on public speaking.

Jul 16,2021A very well structured training course which was delivered with expertise, professionalism and fun by Bill and Colin. Constructive feedback and great examples of how to improve and remove those "pink elephants". Very engaging from start to finish and the team made last minute adjustments for me to attend digitally due to self isolation rules and they made me feel like I was sitting round the table with my colleagues . I have been very lucky to have attended world leading courses throughout my career by large corporate organisations and this was one of the best training courses I have attended. Thank you Bill and Colin!
