Three parts of every influential presentation
Our practical workshops and coaching focus on three essentials: what you say, how you say it and how you build confidence.
1
What you say
Turn your ideas into a persuasive message.
Clarify your purpose, simplify complex information and stay on point using our plan on a page and 3×3 structure.
2
How you say it
Deliver your message with greater impact.
Use your voice, pace, posture, gestures and eye contact deliberately to strengthen your presence both in person and online.
3
Confidence
Perform with confidence when it matters.
Manage nerves, interrupt unhelpful thinking and develop a practical preparation routine you can use again and again.

OUR JOURNEY
About us
At Positive Persuasion, we believe great communication comes from clear thinking, purposeful messages and the confidence to deliver them well.
Â
That belief has shaped Margo Halbert’s work with professionals and senior leaders for more than four decades, across Australia and around the world. Today, Positive Persuasion brings together Margo, Alexandra Rough and Jacqueline Rough, combining deep expertise in communication and influence with contemporary experience in business psychology, organisational strategy and learning.
Â
We understand the environments our clients work in because we have worked in them too, from boardrooms and major organisations to operational teams, leadership programs and professional learning environments.
Our approach is deliberately practical. We help people clarify what to say, how to say it and how to build the confidence to deliver it well. We use practical methods, personalised feedback and real workplace situations to help people develop a communication style that feels natural, credible and effective.
Â
The result is communication people can use when it matters most.
