Setting up a CPD pipeline, the Wednesday lunchtime problem, and a sensible policy on lunch.

3. Preparation and presentation

What to bring, how to stop relying on your slides, and handling small or camera-off audiences.

4. Dealing with questions

Handling curve-ball questions without losing the room, and turning them into content.

5. Follow-up and feedback

Certificates, attendee lists, and asking for feedback that wins you the next booking.

6. Achieving volume

What a healthy number of CPDs looks like, and why a series beats a one-off.

7. Getting the big guys

How to get in front of the large practices everyone else is pitching to.
