Who are we? And how do we work?

Born in London, Made for the World

It all began on a sunny day in 1990, in the lively heart of London at St Katharine’s Dock. Amid the city’s vibrant energy, David Gilgrist envisioned a new way to transform how people share ideas, inspire action, and connect with audiences. From that spark of inspiration, Winning Presentations was born – a pioneering force destined to reshape communication.

Why Stories Matter

David believed in one simple truth: every person has a story worth telling. He knew that storytelling wasn’t just an art – it was a science. His vision created a unique approach to communication, blending research, creativity, and authenticity to craft messages that resonate and inspire.

Building a Powerhouse

To bring this vision to life, David recognized the importance of teamwork. Enter Nigel Dickinson – a dynamic addition who brought unstoppable energy and innovation to sales. Together, they fueled Winning Presentations’ growth, turning it into a thriving enterprise that has empowered professionals worldwide for over three decades.

From London to the World

Our journey is one of breaking boundaries. From the United States to Japan, Finland to Australia, Winning Presentations has bridged cultures, broken language barriers, and earned trust across the globe.

Yet, no matter where we go, our mission stays the same: to empower you to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.

A Foundation of Expertise

The Science of Storytelling
At the heart of our work is a commitment to research-based methodologies. We study human behavior and communication patterns, ensuring our techniques are both innovative and proven. Think of us as detectives of storytelling – uncovering what works and teaching you how to apply it for maximum impact.

A New Chapter: Leadership with Vision

In 2010, Mary Beth Hazeldine joined Winning Presentations after experiencing the transformative power of its methods as a client. A former banker, Mary Beth brought her business acumen, passion for communication, and client-focused perspective to the team. Over the years, she became an integral part of our journey, contributing to the company’s growth and evolution.

In 2023, Mary Beth took the helm as leader, ushering in a new era of innovation while honoring the legacy built by David and Nigel, who continue as Non-Executive Directors. Her vision is clear: to guide Winning Presentations into the future while staying true to the principles that have defined our success.

Our Philosophy

To clinch success, you need the 3P power trio: Proposition, Presentation, and Personality.

Effective communication is built on robust propositions, conveyed through engaging presentations by dynamic personalities.

In the world of presentations, a compelling personality can often offset a weaker proposition, securing the win. Similarly, a strong message can prevail even amidst a subpar delivery.

Imagine the potential when you master the 3Ps in every presentation; when Proposition, Presentation, and Personality harmonize in a perfect performance. With our expertise and support, this potential can be your reality.

Win with the 3Ps:

1. Proposition

2. Presentation

3. Personality
