The training that converts tension into structure and courage into impact.
What if you could control that butterflies in your stomach? When dripping armpits are a thing of the past? What would happen if you could tell your story in such a way that all your knowledge really comes across?
Presenting is exciting. You feel like you’re being watched and the little voice in your head is working overtime. You know you know it, but you’re unsure how to say it and how to make it fun to listen to.
That’s exactly why you deserve a place where you can experiment, practice and play. And yes, that comes with trial and error. Because perfection is overrated.
A training where you not only focus on what you say, but especially on how you say and support it. Because your enthusiasm, your connection with your audience and your way of being and telling your story determine whether you are heard. Or forgotten.
What will you experience and learn?
- A comfortable place to practice
You will discover how to expand your comfort zone, control your breathing and find peace in the group.
- Structure, storytelling and improvisation
You will discover which presentation style suits you and how to make your message stick.
- 100% Impact Formula
You will learn to make an impact by combining enthusiasm, connection and authenticity.
- One look says more than…
You will learn to support your message with facial expressions, gestures, movement and posture.
- Feedforward
You experience the power of feedforward: during the many practice sessions you develop very quickly.
- Pleasure
Presenting is fun. You will learn how to make it even more fun for you and your audience.
Who is this training for?
For those who notice:
- “I don’t feel comfortable in front of the group.”
- “I want more flair, but I don’t know how to develop that.”
- “I stumble every time I give a presentation, even in a meeting.”
- “I’m preparing again on my own with some bullets and hoping for the best.”
- “I know I have the knowledge, but it never really seems to sink in.”
- “I wouldn’t dare speak at a funeral.”
This can be done differently. After this training you will stand in front of any group with confidence and flair. Whether it is a full room, a meeting or a personal affair. You deliver your story clearly and impactfully, find peace in the moment, and genuinely connect with your audience.
Skills that you can use again and again to ensure your message sticks.
What's in it for you?
- Confidence, presence, flair and fun when you take the floor.
- The skill of telling stories that stick.
- Presentations that captivate. From start to finish.
- Tools to deal with resistance and unexpected situations.
- A speaker who not only speaks, but also touches (you!).

Mark has the unique gift of improving your public speaking skills in record time. His approach is practical, with plenty of room to practice in a safe setting. With just small tweaks to your story, he shows the difference instantly. The training immediately made me a better storyteller, and now I approach every speaking opportunity with confidence.
The variety during the two-day training sparked rapid growth. And even though the stage already felt familiar to me, with every step I felt more empowered — as if Mark kept placing a new step for me to climb. As a trainer, he stands right beside you: motivating, inspiring, and fully present for every participant.
We did an introductory session with Mark. In 90 minutes he will take you along with practical tips and insights that are very valuable. After this short period I already felt like I had made progress. Imagine what he can achieve with you in a two-day workshop, I’d like to experience that too.
Presenting is not a talent, it’s a muscle you train. During the training I said: “I’m not feeling it right now, so many ideas and yet it remains blank.” Mark replied, “But what you are telling me now is also a story.” That stuck. A story doesn’t have to be perfect — as long as it’s real.
The most important lesson? It’s all about your Message in a Bottle. Mine: Mark is a damn good coach. He listens, inspires and fills you with confidence. I was nervous, but I’m so glad I didn’t turn back. Enjoyed two days. Do you want to learn to speak or present better? Call Mark.
During this interactive training, we as participants were challenged to improve our presentation skills. This training is a must have for people who want to learn public speaking or work on their presentation skills. I have followed many training courses in my career, but I have rarely had a trainer with as much passion and drive as Mark. I would definitely recommend this training.

About Mark
My name is Mark and I also go by the name That Guy in Blue. Speaker, trainer, event host… and flat white lover through and through. For over twenty years I have been helping people grow in who they are and what they do. As a trainer, as a coach and now as a ‘presentologist’. I didn’t start because I love the spotlight so much. I know exactly how exciting it is to be standing there. How your heart can pound, your head feels blank and your hands are just a little bit too clammy.
That’s why I started Presenters Lab. A place where you can experiment, where you might fall. And where you will surely rise. I see it as a presentation studio that helps you tell your story the way it should be told: your way.
So that, in the end, you feel at home on any stage. Big or small.
