To maximise the benefits of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games developing sponsorship from external organisations is crucial - I really need to make our messages stand out from the crowd. My communication skills were transformed and energised by this course! At a recent high-level meeting I managed to talk my way into a one-to-one with a key figure and set up further contacts - where I will no doubt be using these skills again!

Gerry McKinney, Sponsorship Development Officer, Newham Unit for the 2012 Games

This was certainly one of the best courses I have attended. The practical exercises and examples that backed up the theory have given me the tools to communicate effectively in a range of situations. I recommend it to anyone who has to deliver high impact pitches or presentations.

Tracey Berridge, Intergenerational Development Officer, Age Concern England

As Director of Corporate Development, part of my everyday job is to make 'pitch' presentations. When I was invited to make a high profile presentation at a major international Multiple Sclerosis conference, I used =mc's communication techniques. Working with =mc made the critical difference, turning an everyday presentation into something really memorable and useful for our fundraisers around the world and with a lasting impact.
