“Paulus's Presenter Platform Courses are awesome! I have done two courses and I walked away having developed confidence with and without the camera. The skills you learn from his courses are invaluable and I would recommend to anyone trying to get into the industry. A few months after completing his course I picked up a 4 month presenter role for the Yellow Treehouse Campaign with Yellow Pages. His courses are not only informative and challenging they are fun and you meet some really people whom are still my friends today.”

“My time spent training with Paulus gave me the base I needed to perform my job as co-host on “Dancing with the Stars”. The training experience was new, scary and emotional but also enlightening. I shall be back to learn more because knowledge of your craft is a valuable tool.”

“Before starting the Presenters Platform courses I already thought that I was a good presenter having done a lot of public speaking over the previous 4 years. However the course blew me away. Not only did I expand my toolbox of skills, but I finished the courses being more confident - not just with presenting but with life in general. The courses gave me an X factor, and I'm so pleased I made the decision to enrol. Paulus is not only an excellent tutor, but he also has years of presenting experience which becomes obvious as you progress through the courses. He is honest and critical, but in the good way which enables you to improve from week to week. And by the end of a 8 week course you'll be surprised with the different person that exits. If you are prepared to put some effort into the courses, you will be well rewarded. Ever since completing the courses I've found public speaking an absolute breeze. I'd recommend this course to everyone.”

“As a wife and mother,life coach and social entrepreneur I thought I was taking the Presenters Platform to increase my skill set… and ended up taking it to another level! The awareness I gained through Paulus’s intensely rewarding process enabled me to audition for numerous TVC’s and land my first central TV Presenting role just 2 weeks after completing the course. Without Paulus and his guidance I wouldn’t currently be incorporating what I love to do in life-on camera, awesome… just awesome.”

"I have found the course inspirational every week, creatively and challenging yourself in a safe and confident environment. It has been emotionally fulfilling to have something new that pushes you out of your comfort zone, which has a positive affect in work and general everyday life. I have and would recommend this course to friends and colleagues.”

“Paulus has become one of our regular guest lecturers, as the main coach for directors, helping them build rapport with actors, elaborate on stories and give “juice” to the projects at hand. He is very popular among students as he helps them expand their vision, narrative imagination, communication skills and in a nutshell; become better at directing actors. The New Zealand Film Academy is richer and more professional with Paulus on board.”

“I was 18 when I met Paulus and did Presenters Platform Level 1. And right from the start Paulus not only gave me the right platform to develop but he gave me the encouragement and most of all, the time.
The best thing about the Presenters Platform is that you’re surrounded by like minded people which proves as a great support when you’re looking from the outside, in to this industry. You start to feel more a part of it, and in turn, you become a part of it.
Paulus is now a great friend and I have the highest respect for him. The Presenters Platform allows you to develop and be honest with yourself and your aspirations. If you want to practise within a group that will truly and honestly give you an insight into the industry you have set goals to work in, I can 100% put my support behind the Presenters Platform.
If it’s just a bit of confidence and self awareness that you want- then by lord you’re going to get it!
I’ve met some wonderful people since my first course, and now at 21 I’m actually living it. If you want something, tell people, and prepare to work your behind off- do whatever it takes while remaining true to your morals and beliefs- it WILL pay off!”

"As an experiment I invited Paulus to tutor my drama school's Teens and Senior classes (14-16 years). They are a great bunch of young people, but many had the all too common reservations of their own public confidence, and abilities to communicate on a deeper level. Within one lesson, Paulus had empowered these young actors to understand what they had within, and how to utilize that strength and honesty through their work. I have had emails and calls requesting him back, and now he is a permanent tutor with this age group. No teacher has ever had such an immediate impact with so many of our students. They just love his classes, and cant get enough!”
