Working with the team at Pink Elephant…

Working with the team at Pink Elephant has brought real benefits to our business. The training courses provided are excellent, engaging and very informative. I also attended a 1-1 session with Andrew which provided me with hints and tips on how to remain confident and clear when delivering a presentation - both virtually and in person.

Can’t go wrong with Pink Elephant…

As global corporate communications manager for Travel & Tourism IT provider Amadeus, I have been working with the Pink Elephant Communications for more than 20 years now. They have always provided the most useful training both for media interaction and presentation skills, but also in messaging. They have the expertise of real professionals being former journalists in the UK. Not a single person having followed their courses have made a bad or neutral comment after finishing their training -all are highly appreciative of the learnings acquired and look forward to the possibility of a future refreshment course. In a nutshell, talking on media training, you can’t go wrong with The Pink Elephant Communications.

Many thanks Juan, for all your kind words! It's always a pleasure to work with you in Madrid, and with your team all over the world. Look forward to helping more of your colleagues to work with the media and get their points across to journalists. Andrew

Highly recommended!

A 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!

Effective Communication training

The 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!

Hi Shayne. Firstly, thank you for your very kind words - and I'm pleased you found the training so useful. It's always our aim to have a long-lasting effect beyond the closing time of the training, and it sounds like you're well on the way to increasing your confidence and improving the quality of your presentations. Secondly, let me echo how far you came during the day. Clearly you're able to take a lot of information on in a short time and use that to improve your performance, that's a great skill to have. Wishing you all the best in your future presentations, and I'll look forward to keeping in touch. Andrew

High recommend

Pink 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.

Amazing presentation training!

The 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.

Pink 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.

Pink 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.

Presentation Masterclass

Having 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.

Brilliant

Brilliant. 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.

Engaging and Insightful

The 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!

Prepared staff, relevant topic, nice atmosphere

Well-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!
