How to Master Your Presentations & Workshops
Would great speaking and presenting skills help you to achieve more success in your career?
Would you like to learn how to facilitate a room, a situation or an event and handle whatever comes up?
If you’re in sales, marketing, facilitation, or training, if you have to present and pitch, if you're a manager or a leader, or if you need to work with and influence teams, then you don’t want to miss this!
Hi, I’m Dan Kuss, and I’m a Certified Trainer & Facilitator and CliftonStrengths Coach. Over the past 11 years I’ve facilitated hundreds of workshops and delivered as many presentations. I’ve worked with groups as small as 3 and as large as 140. I’ve served industries including education, mining, finance, defence, tourism, services, networking, construction, private enterprise and more.
Since 2014 I’ve been learning from some of the world’s best facilitators and am a certified Trainer and Facilitator with the Blair Singer Training Academy. My training has helped participants improve their skills and grow their businesses–see the testimonials below.

“We saw Dan speak at a TiCSA event and wanted to learn how to do what he does, and engaged him to train us to be presenters. Now, speaking at events is our most valuable lead generation tool, converting multiple clients each time. ”
Okay! I know what you’re thinking, so let me explain. I don’t tell you all this to impress you, even though your little voice is saying “Yes, you are!” I share this with you to impress upon you that I’ve been doing this for a long time, and with some pretty good results.
And you know what else? I love what I do! It doesn’t feel like work. Imagine being able to enjoy what do so much that it doesn’t feel like work! Well, I want to tell you about an opportunity that’s coming up that might help: The Art of Facilitation workshop.
You see, I believe the art of face-to-face communication has been lost. Thanks to social media, texting (LOL), remote & hybrid work, and online qualifications, many of us have lost the ability to communicate face-to-face well – let alone present and facilitate well. In some cases, we never had it. We’ve never been taught it. Well, I want to take everything that I’ve learned and all the tools I use and teach it to you in a day.
“Dan is so engaging. His workshop style encourages engagement with other participants. The intimate group allows engagement from all participants because everyone felt comfortable.”
“I have worked with Dan Kuss for years, this is a great opportunity to invest in yourself! ”
What you’re going to learn in this one-day workshop:
How to speak and present confidently
How to engage your audience
How to maximise learning for your participants
How to handle objections
A proven process for delivering any kind of content with engagement and participation
The five most common mistakes made and what to do about it.
What’s so good about that is, by the end of this workshop, you’ll:
Be ready to take your presenting and facilitation opportunities to the next level
Understand why people fail at this critical communication skill
Understand the difference between presenting and facilitating, and when to use each.
Have tools to handle any situation
Have practiced in class and received feedback on how to improve
“It was such a supportive and conducive environment for me to explore and express myself freely! Working through topics such as values, strengths and purpose really helped me understand my ‘why’ and why we approach presenting and facilitating the way we do. I took away so many valuable insights from not only Dan, but the whole cohort – they were so much fun to work with. The day was executed well, content on point and too many take outs to mention – BUT I will always remember ‘Version one is better than version none’. ”
“Before working with [Dan] I was apprehensive about presenting but wanted to improve, as my previous public speaking event did not go well. The format created a clear process around presenting and after his workshop I presented at an interstate event and the feedback was great. So much so that people from the audience asked me how they can sign up for my program. I’m now looking forward to my next speaking event!””
Who is this workshop for?
The skills you’ll learn are essential for pitching, selling, training and facilitating, building confidence, presenting, communicating well, and handling people. If you’re a business owner, manager, team leader, trainer, facilitator, or coach, then this workshop is for you.
Do you get nervous before presenting to a group?
Would you avoid presenting if you could?
Are you comfortable with slides but struggle without them?
Do you choke up when people challenge you with objections?
What would you do if someone in the room knew more than you?
You’ll learn how to address these common concerns at the Art of Facilitation.
“Of the 15 presenters throughout the week-long leadership program, many participants commented that Dan was their favourite because of his engaging presentation style and the useful and realistic tips he was able to provide.”
“Dan is an inspiring and engaging speaker that SA Tourism Industry Council (SATIC) were fortunate enough to have as a Motivational Speaker at the SA State Tourism Conference and Flinders Ranges and Outback Tourism Forum. His keynote presentation presentation style is filled with passion, energy, and motivation and is highly interactive.”
