A Scot, Gavin was born in Dundee and grew up in Arbroath just up the coast where his passion for public speaking, was first ignited at Arbroath High School. "
"I was quite shy as a child but was persuaded by one of my English teachers, Colin MacIntosh, to join the school's debating society. It was hard work at first but began to enjoy the challenge of researching a topic and then building a case that would persuade others."
Gavin attended the University of Dundee where he studied Chemistry. Upon graduation, he embarked upon a marketing career and then switched to sales.
"I never thought of myself as a salesperson, but I found that I had a flair for it and it was during that period that I became fascinated by the psychology of communication. It seemed to me that too many people took communication for granted, often with disastrous results!"
After almost 20 years in sales, sales training and sales management, Gavin decided to set up his own communication and influencing skills consultancy in 1997 and so Inter-Activ Presenting and Influencing was born.
Gavin is as passionate about his own learning and self-development as he is for that of his clients. He has undertaken numerous training courses and holds qualifications in Adult learning, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Coaching. He is also an active member of Solent Speakers Club, his local Toastmasters International public speaking club Solent Speakers, and has won multiple contests and awards for his speaking and evaluation skills.
Gavin lives in Portsmouth with his wife Lyn and continues to teach and write on the topics of communication, presentation skills and influencing skills.
[…] This is another common misconception. In truth, it’s the audience who are the most important people in the room during your presentation. Your job as the presenter is to create a shift their attitude from where it is at the start of your speech, to where you need it to be, for them to do what you want them to do. A key part of developing your presentation skills is being able to judge your audience so that you can pitch your audience appropriately. The best way to do this is to start by mirroring your audience’s attitudes and energy level and then gradually change your energy and approach as you take them on a journey to where you need them to be. There’s a whole chapter about this in my latest book The Presenter’s Edge. […]
