Technical Presentation Skills · Perth, Western Australia
Technical presentation skills training helps engineers, scientists, finance and IT specialists explain complex material to people who don’t share their expertise. David Julian Price runs it in Perth and online, teaching you to lead with the point, structure the evidence and use stories and visuals so non-specialists understand, remember and decide.
You’re the expert in the room. The problem isn’t what you know. It’s getting enough of it across to an audience who doesn’t share your background, your training or your vocabulary, in a way that actually lands.
“Clarity is not the enemy of expertise. It’s the highest expression of it.”
The gap between knowing and communicating
The presenter knows the subject inside out and wants to do it justice. So they go into detail. Comprehensive, accurate, thoroughly researched detail. Not because the information isn’t valuable. Because nobody has answered the one question sitting in the back of every audience member’s mind.
That’s a completely different skill from knowing your subject. And it’s one very few technical people are ever taught.
The centrepiece of this program
Technical information, however accurate or impressive, rarely has value on its own. It needs context and meaning. The audience needs to understand why it matters to them, what they should do with it and what changes because of it.
Most technical presenters assume the audience will connect the dots. They won’t. That’s your job.
Two ways to unlock it
This is not about dumbing it down
This program isn’t trying to turn you into a comedian, or asking you to sacrifice accuracy for entertainment. In fact the reverse is true. The more clarity you build in, the more persuasive and influential you become.
What this program covers
Whether you’re presenting to boards, senior executives, clients, government bodies or cross-functional teams who don’t share your technical background.
A shape that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.
The right depth for each audience, without compromising integrity or accuracy.
Turning complex information into clear, compelling messages that drive decisions.
How you present matters as much as what you present.
Visuals that support your message instead of burying it.
Including the ones designed to test your credibility.
The bottom line
But only if people understand it, value it and act on it. The smartest communicators in any technical field aren’t the ones who show how much they know. They’re the ones who make what they know accessible, relevant and actionable. This program bridges the gap between what you know and what your audience needs to hear.
When your expertise finally meets clarity, that’s when you walk tall.
Questions
Engineers, scientists, IT specialists, finance and legal professionals, and anyone with deep technical knowledge who needs to present to people without their background.
It’s answering the question every audience silently asks: why does this matter to me? You do it through comparison, putting information beside something familiar, or with a direct statement of the value or usefulness.
No. The aim is to make it less complex without making it less correct. Accuracy stays. What changes is how accessible, relevant and actionable it is for your audience.
It depends on the audience and the decision you need. The program shows you how to calibrate detail for boards, executives, clients and mixed teams, and keep supporting detail ready for questions.
Yes. Coaching can focus on a real presentation you have coming up, so you rehearse the actual content with the actual audience in mind.
Both. It runs as a practical, participative workshop for technical teams, or as one-to-one coaching.
