Simple Truths

"When it comes to using proven techniques to simplify complex messages, Eric's presentation training is unique and second to none. I have seen the value of his program on many levels and I'm very quick to recommend Eric to any colleague.

"I have come to the conclusion that no one teaches more effective use of visual aids than Eric Bergman. No one teaches better use of notes than Eric Bergman. No one teaches the importance of silence like Eric Bergman.

"Eric's training has provided me with simple truths that I use every day."

In today's fast-paced world, it’s vital to be effective when presenting your ideas to internal or external audiences, or managing exchanges with journalists to positive outcomes.

That’s where our presentation skills and media training programs help you shine. They provide the skills and confidence to communicate clearly. They are thought leading, not thought following.

Above all, they are effective.

Presentation Skills Training
For more than 20 years, Present With Ease has helped thousands of people from five continents improve their ability to present their ideas to groups. The workshop can be adapted to half-day, full-day and two-day formats. Executive coaching is also available.

In 2012, Eric Bergman published a new book, 5 Steps to Conquer ‘Death by PowerPoint’, which articulates the concepts he has been teaching for more than two decades. “The recommendations in this book reflect much more than the personal views of one author, albeit a very knowledgeable one,” says John Sweller, Ph.D, who wrote the foreword to the book. “The various recommendations Bergman makes are based on strong research evidence he has brilliantly applied to the art of presenting information to a live audience.

“Eric Bergman’s techniques are a window to the future of this important human activity.”

Media Training
At Ease With the Media offers the only disciplined online learning option available in media training. Worldwide.

There is structure to this program. Once they achieve a passing grade, participants earn a Certificate of Completion for their efforts. It works well as a stand-alone introduction to media training, and is a perfect prelude to in-person training.

In-person training focuses on practice. Print and broadcast interviews are simulated, recorded and played back. Constructive feedback is provided. Skills are imparted. Confidence is instilled.

No other media training program can match the overall learning experience of At Ease With the Media—online, in-person, or both.

Focus Your Ideas
Our training programs help you focus your ideas so you can be clear and concise. They increase confidence by providing the tools to communicate effectively.
