Be a Presentation Rockstar with David Thomas.

‘How to get the attention of any audience inside 60 seconds’. 

Attention span is dropping every year. Think about how quickly you scroll past a video on your phone if it doesn’t immediately deliver what you want. It is the same with the people in front of you when you present whether it is a 1-2-1 appraisal with a member of staff or talking to 10,000 people at a conference.

You have just 60 seconds to grab them by the scruff of their neck, interrupt their thinking, get their attention up to a 10 and keep it there.

In this session, David Thomas will show you how to do exactly that.

ERA Webinar with Jude Faultless

Tuesday 29th April 2025 @ 12pm-1pm GMT

Webinar with Jude Faultless

How do you connect? How do you build a strategy that attracts the right candidates and then write with impact so that your message lands first time. 

How do candidates engage with the recruitment process? What matters to them? By understanding the process from the candidate point of view, we’ll create a strategy that ensures they choose us. We’ll then look at how we communicate. In a world of endless scrolling, how do we make sure our message cuts through the noise and lands with impact.  

This session is interactive with plenty of scope for questions. We’ll work through the opportunities you have as well as the opportunities you can create to connect with potential candidates. You’ll leave with a practical approach to both planning and writing that you can use every day.

What people say about us

"The mentoring programme from my perspective is going well - we have had 2 Zoom sessions with a 3rd in the diary and we have set up a WhatsApp group. Ahead of each session I set an agenda - the two people have very different backgrounds and home lives, both have highlighted different short and medium-term goals, but both are interested in each other’s and are happy to share openly their thoughts on the understanding it is in the strictest of confidence as they work for different companies."
