The Challenge
Pitching and presenting are a regular activity for many of the Mydex CIC team. Both face to face and online to small and large groups. I first worked with David Alexander, Chief Executive of Mydex CIC during the CivTech 3.0 programme where he presented Mydex’s solution to a public sector challenge at Demo Day on stage in front of 700 people.
Having experienced the benefits of both group and 1-1 sessions with me, in 2020 we set up 1-1 programmes, delivered via Zoom, for many of his externally facing team.
The goal was to help hone their articulation of Mydex CIC misson and services and ensure consistency across the team on messaging, clarity and confident delivery across all of the projects they work on.
The content of these programmes included all aspects of delivery and using natural style, presentation strategy, an efficient preparation process, content structure and handling questions in a structured, concise manner.
We continued to work together on specific pitches they had for new work ensuring the team presenting were well prepared and feeling confident each time.
Once our new Online Presentation Skills course launched, David was one of our first clients to buy it.
‘Given our experience of working with you 121 and as a team on a range of projects ,the online course is a welcome extension of the services we get from you. It has enabled us to bring your expertise to a wider audience within the company at an affordable rate. All of our team needs to be good at communications, some only need to use it internally. The online course provides a solid primer for them and ensures we have a common language across the company.
We see it as a stand-alone resource but also very complimentary to your 121 services and project specific services. Thank you as ever. I really like the dashboard features because it provides a good oversight of where the team are up to. I am already seeing improvements within the technical teams who need to provide effective updates on their progress.’
