Speaker Dominic Colenso knows a thing or two about the highs as well as the lows of performance. By the time he was 26, he had flown a Thunderbird, had lost one million dollars, and also been fired by Simon Cowell. Beginning his career as a professional actor, he worked extensively on both stage and screen before training as a director at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
He performed in many of the UK’s leading theatres such as The National Theatre and The Royal Court, and also appeared on film in everything from BBC period dramas to big-budget action movies. He is probably best known for playing Virgil Tracy in the Hollywood adaptation of Thunderbirds, starring Bill Paxton and Sir Ben Kingsley.
Dominic Colenso’s experience and fascination in how the body, breath, and the voice can influence performance led him to set up his communication skills training consultancy In Flow and also to write his bestselling book “IMPACT: How to be more confident, increase your influence and know what to say under pressure.” He now works with organizations all over the world to help individuals, teams, and leaders take center stage and deliver outstanding and fascinating performances.

Change is the new normal. The business environment has never been more competitive. Everyone needs to do more with less. And yet, in 99% of businesses there is one key asset that remains untapped. A latent potential that has the power to unlock productivity, engagement and profit. An area of focus that can transform a business overnight. What is this game changing resource? The answer is simple: Your people’s ability to communicate effectively.
One of the biggest challenges we face as we move into the 2020s is that the way we communicate at work has evolved. We are increasingly busy and that pace shows no signs of slowing. Technology should be there to help us, reducing our stress levels and increasing our productivity and yet in most organisations the opposite is true. If we want to succeed in business, we need to understand the importance of analogue communication in a digital age. By learning to consistently make an impact we can increase our influence and improve our results.

Using techniques taken from his early career as a professional actor on the London stage, the silver screen and from his time teaching at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Dominic helps audiences to:
Packed with practical tools, tips and tricks Dominic’s “Moments of IMPACT” keynote will leave your audience feeling inspired and
confident about putting their new found skills into action.
The secrets to crafting and delivering an Oscar worthy pitch or presentation.
Why is it relevant?
Presentations and pitches have the potential to move the dial. They can get you promoted, win the deal or inspire a team to action. Too
often they are dull and boring, when instead they should be exciting and inspiring. Even the driest data-driven topic has a story behind it.
Great presenters know how to tease it out and bring it to life. In this high-energy, fun and practical session Dominic shares the secret toolkit used by the world’s greatest actors and directors to keep their audience on the edge of their seats. Working with the pillars of Performance and Narrative your audience will learn how to craft and deliver an Oscar worthy pitch or presentation using simple tools and techniques that are guaranteed to keep people asking for more.
Audience takeaways:
Presentation Superstars! is for anyone who has to pitch or present. From sales reps to executive assistants, team leads to developers, at
some point in our careers we all have to step into the spotlight.
Video is now the new normal. Remote and hybrid working is here to stay. If you want to lead others you need to be able to deliver your message powerfully on video. In meetings and one to ones your performance on screen is now in the spotlight. Your credibility and authority depend on your ability to connect with your virtual audience and take them on the journey with you. You need to inspire and move people to action. You need to set boundaries and manage expectations. You need to create an environment for innovation and collaboration. All down the lens of a camera.
The techniques you used face to face are no longer enough. You need a new tool kit! Dominic’s fast paced, interactive session will help
your leaders take their ‘on camera’ performance to the next level. They’ll learn the secret skills professional actors and television presenters use to ensure they keep their audience engaged and wanting more.
Your salespeople need a new skill set. Being great in-person or on the phone is no longer good enough. The competitive advantage will
come to those who are able to perform powerfully on camera, to persuade and influence down the lens. Without the normal feedback cues,
how do you create engagement and maintain people’s attention? How do you structure your content for maximum interaction? How do you
build trust and rapport? Hollywood actors have been doing this for over 100 years. It’s time for your sales teams to learn how. In this high
energy, interactive session Dominic will share the skills he learned from the world’s best actors to help your people sell on screen.
• Learn how to be more confident and impactful on screen
• Adapt your camera technique to make the audience feel like they’re in the room with you
• Develop strategies for controlling the virtual room and staying in charge of the conversation
• Discover the screenwriting secrets for structuring your content for more engagement
• Learn simple tools for creating “bingeable” presentations and pitches that leave your prospects wanting more.
We live in a noisy world. Your clients and prospects are continually bombarded with sales messages and information. How do you become
memorable in the fight for your audience’s attention? It’s not just about the words you choose. As well as crafting compelling content, you need to bring your ideas to life. How do you distil your message down to its most compelling components. How do you engage people’s emotions and draw them in?
How do you move your audience to action? These are the questions actors, screenwriters and directors have been grappling with
for decades. They make the difference between a Blockbuster movie and one that sinks without a trace. In this high energy, interactive session Dominic will share the skills he learned from his Hollywood hero’s to help your people sell more powerfully in person and on screen using stories.
• Master the art and science of storytelling.
• Learn how to distil your message to make it concise, compelling and memorable.
• Develop techniques for taking your audience on an emotional journey.
• Discover the screenwriting secrets for structuring your content for more engagement.

Dominic made an impact! We engaged him to speak at our Business Forum in Riga for 500 of Latvia's most switched on Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs. His speech was full of practical tools and he really knows how to perform and inspire an audience to follow him. Highly recommend!
Agnese Zagata
His speech was thought provoking, motivating and packed full of simple but powerful tips and takeaways that were easy to implement. As one of the organisers of this event, I would highly recommend Dominic. He was great to work with, organised, professional and delivered a captivating speech that hit all the right notes.
Sue Angus
You know when the speaker is good when he has a group of newly qualified accountants all up out of their seats and asking each other 'are you looking at me' in a Robert De Niro style! We’ve engaged him to speak to our finance team several times and he really knows his stuff – he makes it fun and simple to understand. If you want a dynamic speaker for your event, with content that delegates can immediately put into practice, Dominic delivers.
Mark Laine Toner
As an organisation going through significant change, we were seeking an innovative and dynamic speaker to support our colleagues in developing their communication skills. Dominic’s IMPACT keynote laid the foundation for our colleague to do just that. The mix of acting skills, neuroscience and common sense made it impactful, memorable and above all a highly enjoyable and empowering experience.
Mark Stafford
Just listened to your SBG session on leadership - wanted to say I thought it was absolutely outstanding. The best I've seen recently by far and I have a high bar for "leadership" content. Incredibly articulate, really strong points that resonated with me, and skilfully delivered. Thank you!
What a pleasure to have Dominic speak at our annual conference to over 2,000 Partners. The content was clear, simple and full of ideas that can be put into practice immediately. He was very easy to work with and put lots of effort into making sure he delivered an engaging and relevant presentation. Feedback has been amazing!
Dominic’s virtual keynote was a hit with our audience. The context was full of actionable takeaways and Dominic’s experience as a screen actor shines through on video. The feedback was so good we immediately rebooked him for a second session, where he customised and realigned his content for a specific industry sector. Highly recommended.
Dominic delivered a dynamic and highly engaging keynote on Storytelling for our recent Leadership event. Practical and interactive everyone left the session with tangible tools to take back into the business. There was a real buzz in the room and the feedback from the team has been excellent.
We have worked with Dominic and in flow for several years with a wide variety of cohorts. Initially we worked with a group of our aspiring leaders on impact and more recently with our senior leaders on the Accelerator programme. We have also found Dominic brings a professional approach to the sessions and the teams leave with more insight on their roles as leaders. We look forward to continuing to work with the inflow team into the future.
