Talk Direct working with Leeds Beckett’s MBA students

The Talk Direct team have been working with Leeds Beckett’s MBA students for the last three years. As part of one of their modules the students have to work as consultants in small groups on a real business problem and provide recommendations to the company. 

This module requires them to write a 10,000-word essay and present their findings and recommendations to the company in a 30-minute presentation.

Talk Direct had the opportunity to provide the students with the real life case study for the last two years and when assessing student’s presentations, we found some to be good but most could be improved. Linda realised that the students needed more coaching on their presentation skills however, this is not taught in academia.

Talk Direct's Linda Jones delivered a ‘Think Big’ presentation skills workshop to 30 MBA students and the feedback from the lecturer was fantastic

"Linda has just given our MBA students a master class in how to present both themselves and their work in the most professional manner. If they manage to take on board just a fraction of the techniques, tips and style demonstrated by Linda they will not go far wrong. Thanks Linda for your knowledge, expertise and above all your passion!” Paul Rhodes, MBA Lecturer at Leeds Beckett University.
