The Carbon Trust is a leading global sustainability consultancy, partnering with businesses, governments and financial institutions globally to accelerate their journey to Net Zero.
As part of its new Global Engagement Academy, which educates and empowers staff to become world-class sustainability communicators, the Carbon Trust wanted to complement this initiative with training in presentation and public speaking skills.The goal was to enable staff to confidently structure and deliver presentations for internal and client-facing situations, empowering them to deliver messages clearly and engage audiences effectively.
Following a training needs analysis, Fearless designed a bespoke, interactive presentation and public speaking programme, tailored to the Carbon Trust's objectives.
The training focused on helping participants communicate persuasively to educate,support, and inspire.
The programme was delivered across multiple cohorts in international locations,including London, Amsterdam, Singapore and Mexico, using local Fearless trainers to provide culturally relevant coaching while maintaining consistent standards and methodology. Training was delivered in both in-person and virtual formats to accommodate participants across different regions. Pre-course questionnaires were shared with each cohort to ensure the content was aligned with participants’experience, roles and the needs of a globally distributed team.
True to the Fearless philosophy, the training was highly practical, with participants practising real presentations and practical scenario-based exercises to ensure the learning could be applied directly in day-to-day work. Follow-up resources were provided to reinforce learning and help participants embed new skills, enabling them to communicate with confidence and impact in any setting
