Like it or not, as a leader you are becoming a small screen star. You can shine in real life but without guidance, your online presence can easily fade away at a time when you need to shine bright.

Popping out of the screen and breaking down the glass wall that separates you and your audience doesn’t require a Hollywood sized crew or budget.  You have so many tools and techniques and disciplines at your fingertips, it’s just no one has ever shown you how to use them to make your presentations pop.

In these sessions Smartphone Video Evangelist and Small Screen Presentation expert Julian Mather shows you how to use what’s inside of you, in front of you and behind you so you can go from looking quietly confused > casually confident > utterly compelling in your virtual and video presentations.

Session 1

Little Hinges Swing Big Doors

You discover the many small elements you have at your disposal that, if used strategically, can elevate a presentation from ordinary to extraordinary.

We look at three areas...

Software - the apps on our phones and the programming in our heads

Hardware - don’t spend a cent on equipment until you understand this

Set Aware - it’s not just you on screen. What’s behind you speaks volumes. Use it effectively.

Session 2

Virtual Studios Made Easy

You learn the strategies and tactics to simply and quickly turn a small office or a boardroom into a ‘set’ that reinforces you messages, is comfortable to present from and returns to normal functionality when you’re done.

Session 3

Look Like a TV Presenter

One shot, one person, one angle can be boring. Our expectations are higher thanks to our steady diet of online video. Luckily our phones and desktops are full of AI driven apps that allow beginners to easily make their virtual meetings look and feel like a TV broadcast.

In this session we look at the possibilities with touch-of-a-button effects that strengthen messaging and will put a little bit of fun back into things.

Session 4

Audience Trust is a MUST!

We all want our videos to be perfect. Makes sense right?! Not so fast. You could be damaging your connection to your audience.

In this session we learn from Barack Obama. We discover the power of vulnerability in getting your messages to land with your intended audience. Leaders find this session liberating as the weight of out-of-date assumptions about what audiences want lifts.

 For as long as he could remember Julian Mather wanted to be a photo journalist. Then he got sidetracked. While army sniper seemed like a good idea at the time, he found the telescopic sights of his rifle were starting to look more and more like a movie camera, and so he fell in love with film-making.

So began his twenty five years as a globe trotting TV cameraman for ABC TV, BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He was awarded the highest distinction for cinematography by The Australian Cinematographers Society and entitled to use the letters A.C.S. after his name.

His was a ringside view of life where he met and filmed some of the world’s greatest, most famous and even the notorious; travelled the world; witnessed the highs and lows of human nature and had his own ideas and ambitions challenged.

A ten year journey started from behind the camera to in front of it. Julian became

-An accomplished author of ‘Second Best Job in the World’ (published Harper Collins)

-A polished magician and stage performer

-A viral Youtube success – with over 30 million views and 140,000 subscribers

-Co-creator of the world’s first online training academy for professional children’s entertainers.

And somewhere amongst all that, climbed mountains, and raised a family.

His longest journey of all? was starting life as a stutterer to being a professional keynote speaker presenting to Australian and international audiences.

He lives in Brisbane, Australia.

Together with his wife Vicky, his greatest accomplishment is sending two strong competent daughters into the world.
