Success Story: Making magic with Thinkerbell
As a leading boutique creative agency, Thinkerbell is dedicated to ensuring that strong client relationships are at the heart of their work. Thinkerbell has been a valued client of NIDA Corporate Training since 2021, regularly investing in their employees’ development as crucial touchpoints with clients.
This success story is based on a recent delivery of the Corporate Performance program for a cohort of Thinkers and Tinkers.
About the organisation
Thinkerbell is an award-winning creative agency working with iconic brands across Australia and New Zealand. Their practice of “Measured Magic” and inter-disciplinary approach to business strategy allows them to deliver world-class solutions across a broad spectrum of brand and communications.
The challenge
Thinkerbell wanted to enhance the presentation skills of their diverse team comprising junior and senior employees. As a public relations agency known for fostering strong client relationships, they recognised the importance of equipping their team with the required tools to engage authentically. Their goal was to ensure confident and collaborative presentation techniques that strengthened client connections in a relaxed yet professional manner.
The NIDA Corporate Training solution
We delivered our two-day Corporate Performance, providing participants, transforming their run-of-the-mill presentations into memorable deliveries that yield outcomes from their stakeholders. Over the two days, our specialist tutors helped participants access and improve their physical and vocal presence, allowing them to engage any audience with gravitas. They explored practical strategies to become an active, agile, and confident facilitator and presenter.
The outcome
At the end of the course, Thinkerbell’s team demonstrated greater confidence in engaging small and large groups and increased awareness of their own communication strengths and challenges. They employed new practical skills in physical and vocal presence, as well as storytelling techniques and strategies to deliver dynamic presentations that engage and influence.
Participants told us:
“Very rarely are we allowed to look at how we hold and conduct ourselves the way we did in our course. The result, through practice, analysis, and activity, was a more authentic and confident self. This was an incredibly valuable two days.”
“Helen, Rudy, and Kylie are clearly masters of their craft but importantly, they were excellent educators. We had a diverse range of roles in the room, and I was so impressed at the instructors’ ability to give relevant feedback at an individual and group level. Very well structured and delivered a full two-day course.”
Repeat team training is a valuable asset for growing teams. The Corporate Performance program is particularly valuable for those in client-facing roles who need to communicate with clarity, credibility, and ease in a collaborative setting, and any professional who wants to elevate their presentation skills, refining their ability to engage and connect authentically.
