Present With Influence

Craft a world class keynote presentation and elevate your confidence for your next conference or event

Create greater engagement, drive action and become a world class communicator

A woman in a green blazer is giving a presentation on stage at a large conference or event. The stage has a screen showing a car, and the audience seated in rows of pink chairs is attentively listening. The venue has colorful lighting and several levels of seating.

Are you a thought leader, professional speaker, consultant or advisor who is:

  • struggling to deliver keynotes and presentations that are engaging, insightful and inspire action, often leaving opportunities on the table.

  • worried you’re becoming irrelevant or missing out on major speaking opportunities as expectations around leadership evolve.

  • want to deliver presentations and keynotes to a world class level that meeting planners, bureaus and conference organisers can have confidence in booking you

  • feeling invisible or overlooked, unable to clearly communicate their value or make a lasting impression.

  • speaking publicly or pitching under pressure and it’s triggering nerves or fears of being seen as incompetent or underprepared.

  • concerned that without sharpening your presence and communication, your true potential will remain untapped.

It’s time for this to change.

The real challenge isn’t just that you're busy or missing a few opportunities, it’s that the way you're showing up right now doesn’t fully reflect the value, influence, and impact you're capable of.

You’re operating at a level that’s good enough to stay in the game, but not powerful enough to truly change the game. Until you align your personal brand, presence, message, engagement and inspiration, you’ll keep working harder for smaller returns, instead of letting your influence do the heavy lifting for you.

It’s time to take the lead

You were never meant to play small. Your ideas, leadership, and influence deserve to be seen, heard, and respected.

The frustration you feel isn’t a sign of failure, it’s a sign that you’re ready for your next level.

When you take the lead in how you show up, you don’t just change your career, you change how others respond to you. Now is the time to stop waiting for recognition and start building your presence that commands it.

Become an influential presenter

Level 5, Rockstar, is fun and 100% influenced; Level 4, Engager, has conviction and 80% influence; Level 3, Practitioner, has presence and 50% influence; Level 2, Reader, has insights and no influence; Level 1, Refuser, has purpose and negative influence. © Jane Anderson.

The journey to Presenting With Influence:

  1. Refuser – You’re avoiding speaking in front of groups, perhaps you can’t see the benefit or why you should even bother.

  2. Reader – You’re reading from slides because it’s easier to have the information in front of you. The content and delivery is uninteresting and frankly, boring.

  3. Practicer – You’ve rehearsed to perfection however you’ve forgotten about your audience, you’re delivering to an audience rather than connecting with them.

  4. Engager – You’re thinking about the outcomes and intention behind your presentation, you know your audience and you’re designing and delivering with purpose.

  5. Rockstar – You’re now able to make the experience memorable, fun and interesting. Your audience is on board, you’re on message and you’ve been able to influence the audience to do what you want them to do. Hooray!

How it works….

Step 1 - DECISION

At this stage work together to decide on the key message, the specific goals and actions you want people to take as a result of your presentation. We look at what makes you unique, memorable and relatable for the audience along with how to structure your message to give it maximum impact.

Step 2- CRAFT

At this point we build out the detailed structure of the keynote. We layer specific frameworks, anchors and messages to align the presentation with the outcomes you’re looking for. We look at the areas such as the context of the conference, what specific points you want to make and how to convey your message in a compelling way.

Step 3- POLISH

Now we really start to really start to layer in the engagement in your presentation. We map the elements of connection with your audience so you can see where to fine tune to elevate it and where to correct if it feels like it’s not landing. From the introduction right to the final minute we craft captivating your audience.

Step 4- PRACTICE

Now is the time to practice, rehearse and start to really know the content well so that you can focus on the present moment and connect with the audience even more. This helps you to master the entertaining, engaging and insightful presentation you’ve dreamt of having.

STEP 5- ADAPT

Here we work on the mastery of adapting your presentation to different audiences. Not every audience has the same challenge so we work on areas such as dealing with different event briefs and what to do when problems arise on the day. This is all about how to be the professional who is booked again!

What they are saying…

  • Dr Louise Mahler | Gravitas Expert

    "Do yourself no better favour than this: work with Jane Anderson.

    To have a champion of the industry on my side makes me wonder, why I did not start earlier.

    While also having a magnificent overview of the industry and my business within it, Jane is totally hands on down the last full stop, helping me expand my streams of income, filling the gaps with whatever is needed.

    Jane is not only someone who provides personalised service, she is flexible, attentive and drives every aspect through every week, following up, making sure she has her finger on the pulse at all times.

    Here’s the secret, being around excellence breeds excellence and a secondary benefit to working with Jane is imitation. Her skills guide what I do now with my own clients. I want to be Jane! (Don’t panic Jane, different field) What greater compliment could you offer.”

  • Sally Foley Lewis | Leadership and Productivity Expert

    Jane is my go-to mentor. I've been fortunate to engage Jane to mentor me for many years. She is nurturing and kind and will keep your feet to the fire of accountability. When in need of clarity, Jane cuts through the fog and guides you clearly, assuring you that you can get the work done and boosting your confidence to focus on the right work at the right time. While we're experts in our own chosen specialties, Jane is the expert in helping you be THE expert.

  • Alena Bennett | Leadership Expert and CFO Coach

    "Jane changed my life. Before working with Jane the growth of my practice was reliant on word of mouth. It was growing but there was no certainty. I had a gut feel that working with Jane was going to be the game changer I needed and boy I was right! Within 6 months I had exceeded all my (very loose) expectations and within 12 months my list increased 625% and revenue increased 222%!!

    The robustness of Jane's process and methodologies are just some of the things that makes her work so impactful. I can now be 100% confident in the value of my programs because of the guidance that Jane has provided. I can be light and detached because Jane has shared with me her repeatable processes, systems, methodologies that work - AND all wrapped up in the most generous bow possible which is the ongoing cheer squad that is Jane. I'm so grateful and can hand on heart say that if you're looking to catapult the trajectory of your practice, Jane is your go-to."

  • Ally Nitschke | Courageous Leadership and Communication Expert

    Since September last year, I have experienced the biggest shifts in both money and mindset around what's possible for me and my practice. I've sold more in the last month than I have in the entire year in my business... and it was fun!"

    Some key achievements in my last 9 months include:

    Delivered an industry association presentation and achieved the goal of getting over 150 people to sign up for my newsletter and wanting more information. I have a large number of meetings booked and I've been able to increase and manage my day rate.

    Leaving my government job and now able to focus on your practice full time

    List has increased 360%

    Revenue from 19/20 - 20/21FY increased by 391%

    110 pieces of Thought Leadership + weekly podcast, weekly radio show,

    Rise of the Courageous leader book written and currently with the editor

    Several whitepapers plus multiple programs for clients.

    I'm so grateful to have the community of Joyful Selling, to be able to come back to base each week and celebrate wins, share challenges and tap into the groups' expertise to help me grow in my practice.

  • Alison Crabb - Retail Leadership Expert

    "Since working with Jane, I realised that I could be better spending my time on things such as writing the book and creating better marketing documents and collateral to sell my programs.

    The positive experience each week really forces me to be accountable to do what otherwise would have been wasted. I now have new clients, I have a great LinkedIn profile, I have the right collateral, landing pages, brochures and white papers. My newsletters are all done at once and they're batched and ready to go. I also have my systems in Asana, set up effectively to bring on my first business manager and support for me.

    Considering it was a year where most people had a difficult year. I'm grateful that I had a 10% increase in sales, considering it includes a quarter where I had very low revenue. I am also now about to write my second book.I am well and truly on track for 2022 to be an exceptional year! "

  • Stacey Ashley - Leadership Expert

    "Jane is a master of her craft. Always learning and growing so she has more to offer her tribe.

    She not only knows what you need to do to become an influencer, she shares how to do it in easy steps you can take fast or slower.

    Jane is incredibly generous, always looking to offer more value and wisdom.

    If you need help to elevate your brand, your market positioning, your authority, your influence, then chat with Jane about how she can help. You can thank me later."

  • Jessica Schubert - Leadership and Future of Work Expert

    "I'm so grateful for what I've learned from Joyful Selling over the last 10 months and from the ladies in the community. I'm about to finish my book, I completed collateral such as landing pages, brochures, my speaker page and I'm more focused on my day to day sales and delivery.

    Not only have I been able to move from contracting to now focusing on my practice 100%, I'm working with the clients I love, I've replaced the revenue from my consulting work and have set a solid cadence for the future growth of my practice!"

  • Emma McQueen - Business Coach to Female Entrepreneurs

    "Jane has this amazing ability to meet you where you are at. She doesn’t make you feel silly for the questions that you are asking, she doesn’t make you feel bad for the work that you are doing, she just meets you where you are and gives you the permission to just keep doing what you need to be doing.

    A judgement free zone and a knack for patience, this woman is a force to be reckoned with (and that’s coming from me!).. Being a Go getter myself, I feel like Jane and I are a match made in heaven (not to get too soppy or anything) and I know that we will continue to work together over the coming years. When you meet “your people” you just know. And I just know.

    Thank you Jane for making this journey so much less lonely than it could have been."

  • Dr Amy Silver - Business Psychologist

    "Jane is one of the most inspiring and resourceful leaders I know. She has been such a wonderful mentor for my business. Working with her has meant that I have more clarity over who I am and what I could be, more certainty over how to achieve my goals and more credibility as a thought leader and service provider. She has a crystal clear strategy for success and her commercial thinking wrapped up in a down to earth and empathic style has benefited me enormously.

    My business has more than doubled its value since working with her and I know she has been instrumental in enabling my brand and the structures around my business to flourish. I will always be so very grateful to have found Jane."

  • Dr Emily Verstege - Digital Transformation Expert

    "I've spent 12 months working with Jane to grow my influence through a stronger personal brand.

    Jane's superpower is identifying your uniqueness and amplifying it. She will build a strong foundation and hold you accountable to the critical actions.

    Jane's commitment to my success was absolute; she saw more in me than I saw in myself. Because of working with Jane, I have been braver than I knew I could be.

    I've achieved more, faster than I thought possible. If you want to be a woman of influence, you need Jane Anderson in your life!"

  • Sharon Francisco | Entrepreneurial Bookeeper

    "Working with Jane Anderson has quite literally altered my life profoundly. It was no coincidence that I encountered her; I was on a deliberate quest to find a mentor who could elevate me to the next level. When a casual coffee meeting evolved into a two-hour strategy session filled with insight, I knew I had found my guide.

    Jane has honed my skills, assisting me in achieving outcomes I once thought were unattainable, both in terms of tangible commercial results and the elevation of my belief in what I can truly achieve. She aided me in identifying a niche that I could explore, and throughout the program, she provided practical advice and guidance on how to apply my expertise within this niche. A community is vitally important to me, and the individuals Jane draws to her community are just my kind of people. The women are fearless and determined, which is empowering in its own right. However, when combined with Jane's accountability, coaching, and practical guidance, the results are astounding.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jane or any of her programs. She has assisted many individuals in achieving personal and commercial success, all while maintaining a grounded ego and providing gentle, yet firm guidance."

  • Clifford Morgan | Leadership Expert

    Working with Jane has fundamentally changed how we go about our business. Before meeting her, we were grinding away blindly to try and grow. Jane brought a level of clarity, perspective and expertise that allowed us to focus on what really matters. We still work just as hard, but with confidence, we are doing the right things to achieve the results we want and the impact we desire.
