About

Teaching leaders to inspire their audiences to great things, by breaking the mould of traditional presentation advice.

For over 30 years, Black Isle Consultants have been teaching public speaking skills to senior business executives, politicians and media stars around the world. The system used dispels 90% of the conventional wisdom surrounding public speaking, and as a result, thousands of people worldwide have benefited from improved everyday communication in life.  With an ever-evolving work and life environment, our in-person experiences have been disrupted forever. In light of this, we have taken our signature program: “Executive Presentation Skills for Business” to another level, fully accessible and delivered virtually.

Blue Thistle is our e-learning platform, housing our virtual programs with which considerable research and development time has gone into perfecting the program. It encompasses an easy-to-follow series of high quality videos, quizzes, printable summary pages and a high level of interaction. The online program is accessible anywhere, anytime. To sum up, the Blue Thistle is an indispensable solution for global leaders aspiring to communicate authentically and thereby, more effectively.

John Miers, a former nuclear submarine commander and frequent media spokesman for the Royal Navy, has developed a radically different approach to speaking. It involves teaching you how to use emotional intelligence to engage a crowd, ensuring your message gets across and your words actually have an impact
