Glenn Kinsey

Our principal trainer is Glenn Kinsey, widely acknowledged as the UK’s most successful presentation and communication skills coach.

A large proportion of the presenters and “media stars” on your television screens first unleashed their talents through Glenn’s training. In fact, with over 350 previously inexperienced presenters alone ending up on-screen after his coaching, he's recognised for successfully training more television presenters than anyone else in the world.

And his pedigree client list reads like a "Who's Who" of the country's top corporate, public, media and celebrity communicators - from leading political figures to pop superstars, executives at FTSE 100 companies to Olympic gold-medallists.

His distinctive coaching style has been the subject of two BBC documentaries as well as inspiring features throughout the national press and media, attracting labels from, "the image doctor" to, "the confidence guru".

In 1999, he famously took on a challenge from national newspaper, The Daily Mail to help turn a young waitress into a television presenter - and, after just a day's coaching and advice on this very course she landed her first job on ITV within 30 days!

Unlike some, Glenn hasn't spent his working life delivering "theory" without ever being involved at the sharp end. His personal background includes a first television appearance at just 13 years of age, before going on to spend the following ten years presenting over 500 hours of broadcast television for the BBC, ITV and Sky Television.

Programmes included everything from Children's ITV's daily and live 3-hour summer morning show to a 32-programme magazine show on Sky One. His on-camera work has involved interviews with a whole host of celebrities from model Cindy Crawford to movie-star Tom Hanks.

He's also authored three top-selling books - two specially commissioned by Marks and Spencer and sold worldwide; and one for BBC Books, published both in the UK and the USA and written when he was just 19 years old.

Glenn created the Television Presenter's Course back in 1991, at the age of 21. Initially a small-scale affair in a tiny Thames TV training studio - for a group of colleagues wanting experience but lacking the financial means to hire a facility and staff on their own - there was no intention to continue the course into the future.

However, after participants began to find jobs and a glowing article in The Guardian newspaper prompted a flood of enquiries, the course grew into its present state. In the meantime, Glenn attracted a reputation for his coaching and as all sorts of clients approached him - not just from the media but also from areas of business and public life - he eventually made the bold move from full-time television presenting to full-time presentation and communication skills consultant and coach.

And, as clients continually remark, you'll find him genuine, down to earth and refreshingly free of the "self importance" sometimes associated with television trainers.

All this, coupled with his prolific involvement with helping kick-start the television careers of so many - with real-world knowledge of what the current and future market demands - makes him the perfect person to lead your day.

A word about individual attention and coaching...

We don’t believe in operating a “cattle market”, where you’re coached as a group and left to get on with it.

Every time you’re on camera you’ll receive specific and individual attention and coaching, targeted directly to your wants and needs. And you won’t find us intimidating or crushingly critical - but you will find a willingness and desire from everyone on our team to get the very best out of you.

But we can’t do it on our own. To get rapid results you’ll need to bring an open mind, a sense of humour and a willingness to encourage yourself to try things differently. We’ll never insist that you always follow our advice... all we ask is that, during your course, you take it in and try it. If it feels right, great. If it doesn’t, discard it. No-one’s got the monopoly on being right all the time...!
