On stage
Customer presentationsOne presentation. Six connected steps.
Identify the people in the room, what matters to them and the response you need.
Audience briefStakeholders What matters Decision needed Shape a clear beginning, middle and end before building the deck.
Use conclusion-led headlines, clear visuals and reveals that follow your spoken story.
Practise aloud, review a recording and rehearse with someone who can ask questions.
Work on your voice, body language, audience engagement and responses to questions.
Review your before-and-after delivery and use peer and expert feedback to refine it.
Watch both recordings side by side in your review: assess your story, slides, voice and body language, alongside the feedback you receive.
What you will learn · Six connected chapters
Move from audience planning to a connected story, supporting slides and confident delivery. Apply every chapter to a presentation you actually need to give.
A strong presentation starts with the people listening—not with a blank slide.
Identify key decision-makers, their priorities and the response your presentation needs to achieve.
Audience brief · Stakeholder planningWhen slides feel disconnected, the story needs attention first.
Develop a connected beginning, middle and end, with a storyline you can explain and remember.
Story flow · Clear transitionsYour slides and your voice should work together.
Build supporting PowerPoint slides with the right balance of text, visuals, evidence and purposeful animation.
Visual balance · Supporting evidenceFeeling natural on stage takes preparation.
Explore rehearsal methods Rehan uses: audio notes, mirror practice, camera recordings and practice with someone unfamiliar with the topic.
Practice methods · Buddy rehearsalPreparation matters—but nerves can still show up on the day.
Work on voice, body language, calming and breathing practices, recovery from stumbles and questions from senior stakeholders.
Presence · Nerves · Q&AThe presentation ends. Your development continues.
Reflect on your delivery, compare your recordings and learn how to request useful feedback from one or two key stakeholders.
Self-review · Stakeholder feedbackWhy rehearsal deserves its own chapter

Who is this programme for?
More than a polished deck. A shared preparation framework helps colleagues give useful feedback and communicate more clearly. For individuals, strong presentation skills can support visibility and influence—but do not guarantee promotion.

Meet your facilitator & coach · Rehan Arif
Former Marketing Director and executive management team member at Hilti Saudi Arabia, Regional Trade Manager and Learning Business Partner at global headquarters. Rehan brings 12 years of Hilti experience to how he reviews your story, asks questions and coaches your delivery.
You get more than comments on the slides. Rehan helps you test whether a senior audience can follow your reasoning, see the business relevance and understand the decision you are asking for.
Practise Q&A with someone who has held director-level responsibility. Identify unclear assumptions, missing evidence and the point a decision-maker needs to hear.
Draw on Rehan’s experience presenting business priorities and people-development plans to senior management, regional leaders and board-level stakeholders.
Learn from experience presenting product launches to external decision-makers, facilitating at global headquarters and presenting to company-wide audiences.
Experience in different rooms. From early team-development presentations to senior management, to global-headquarters facilitation and NURON launch events in Jeddah and Riyadh, the learning comes from preparing, presenting, receiving feedback and refining the next delivery.
Rehan’s experience and professional development—not programme accreditation or endorsement by these organisations or Hilti.
A few practical questions
A real presentation topic, the intended audience and the decision or next step they want to achieve. Bring a laptop and any existing draft or suitable business information. You do not need a finished deck. We agree pre-work and presentation lengths in advance.
A typical schedule is Day 1 for learning, Days 2–7 for independent preparation and two buddy checkpoints, then Day 8 for presentations and feedback. Exact dates can span 7–9 calendar days. This is two facilitated days, not eight days of classroom training. Both days can be in person or live online.
No. The core is audience understanding, storytelling, supporting slides, rehearsal, delivery and feedback. PowerPoint examples and AI-assisted preparation support that process. Participants remain responsible for facts, evidence and the message. Agree permitted tools and any access requirements during consultation; do not put confidential business content into an unapproved AI service.
Each of the maximum eight participants has a 45-minute slot: 25 minutes presenting, five minutes of Q&A, five minutes of peer feedback and ten minutes of Rehan’s expert feedback. The final delivery is recorded so you can compare it with your baseline presentation. The eight slots total six hours, with breaks and the group opening and close arranged around them.
You can develop a preparation and delivery process rather than relying on natural confidence. A Carnegie Mellon teaching study reported less apprehension and better perceived skill and self-assessment with presentation practice. It involved students, not this programme, and does not guarantee the same outcome for every participant.
Rehan has learned from difficult sessions too. After an early facilitation session went poorly, he reflected on what the audience needed, rehearsed differently and improved the next delivery. His approach draws on practice, feedback and refinement—not an assumption that comfort on stage is simply a natural gift. The aim is specific improvement, not a promise to remove all nerves.
Use examples and information that can be shared appropriately within the group. Recording can support self-review, but any workshop recording, access or sharing arrangements must be agreed in advance with the company and participants. There is no automatic public before-and-after showcase.
Contact Rehan with your deadline, audience, presentation purpose and current draft. Availability, preparation support and coaching hours are scoped before a quotation is prepared. This is a separate executive coaching service; your quotation defines the agreed support. You can also enquire about event hosting or facilitation.
Start with the presentation—not the package
In a free, 45-minute consultation, discuss your team’s presentation challenges or the individual presentation you’re preparing for. We’ll identify the right scope and next steps.
