About Andrew Weale

Andrew’s strengths as a Presentation Skills specialist are in helping clients from all areas of business to communicate clear messages, engage small to large audiences, and enhance personal impact. All these skills came together last year when Andrew was handpicked to prepare James Hodge, VP of IT innovator SPLUNK, for his debut talk at the annual TED conference in Vancouver.

Andrew has also successfully trained many senior managers and trainers at Jungheinrich for over a decade, culminating in his Presentation/Storytelling workshop for over 100 sales representatives at the annual conference in the Training Centre at Norderstedt. Other clients include many CEOs from organizations like The Construction Industry Training Board and innovator entrepreneurs like world record breaking ocean rower, Angus Collins.

As an award-winning writer and actor, who has worked with legends like Sir Alec Guinness and the German super talent Dirk Bach, Andrew is able to develop effective vocal and body language skills. This came into play again last year when he worked with a team of top European lawyers from Coca Cola, whose main objective was to make their legal presentations more engaging for their top-level audiences globally.

Feedback on Andrew's workshops

• Thanks to Andrew the training was exciting and entertaining. Even if we had to use the virtual basis the training felt as if we had all meet personally.
• Overall, a great training, beneficial for my everyday work. Andrew is an excellent trainer! The training was fun and well balanced. I was amazed by the fact that it although it was held virtually, it didn't feel like that at all.
• Very interactive training, whose contents I can apply in my professional practice. Great implementation of the online training. Despite zoom, I had the opportunity to get to know colleagues and exchange ideas with them. Very good opportunity to learn and improve presenting in English.
• The workshop excelled my expectations
• This was the best workshop I’ve been to so far, highly professional, very good guidelines and atmosphere, with strong support and encouragement.
