WHAT MAKES US TICK
Just in case you care enough to read it!
The Complete Presenter was founded to be a one-stop-shop for companies who want to help their people learn how to communicate in a more confident, engaging and compelling way, whether they’re early career professionals or experienced senior executives.
Our beliefs and values
Authenticity is our foundation
We are who we say we are, in every interaction.
Purpose is key
Everything we do is connected to the ‘why’.
Everyone has the potential to be great
They might not think it yet, but with our help they will.
Progress not perfection
Striving for perfection debilitates, making progress empowers.
Passion is a must
If we’re not passionate about it, we shouldn’t be speaking about it.
Not everything is serious
Laughter is a great tool, so let’s use it often.
The man behind the Company
Simon Rollings
Simon’s passion for helping people communicate in an influential way began from his early days in corporate procurement, running multi-million pound negotiations. It was during that time that he discovered how an understanding of psychology could massively alter the outcome of a conversation, and from that point on he’s never looked back.
Simon is a hugely experienced trainer and speaker, and has worked across the globe with many teams from some of the world’s biggest companies, such as Google, Nike, Pfizer, Accenture and Microsoft. He brings a compelling blend of expertise, humour and storytelling to every session he is running, and is passionate about helping people be the most confident, authentic and engaging communicators they can be.

Our Team
Catherine Semark
Catherine has nearly twenty years’ experience as a communication skills coach and facilitator, running workshops grounded in psychology.
With a background in stand up comedy and improvisation, she specialises in transferring performance skills to the workplace. This is useful in building presence in any situation, but particularly with pitching or presenting when engaging diverse audiences, building trust and creating the right mood in a pressured environment is paramount.
Her greatest area of interest is in helping people achieve that sweet spot of relaxed focus that allows them to be at their engaging best.
Jane Kemp
Jane has over 15 years of experience in advertising and research, working for a host of blue-chip companies. On top of that she has a BSc in Psychology, so what she doesn’t know about influential communication and what makes people tick is probably not worth knowing.
Jane is driven to help people to find positive solutions to make their lives or their work that bit better, and brings a great mix of credibility, passion and humour to her training and coaching.
Jane is also a qualified Executive Coach and our resident French speaker!
Jenny Ainsworth
Jenny has worked on almost every continent across the globe, both as an Event Speaker and delivering high impact training and development solutions to thousands of people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. She has an enviable background, with her last role being as the European Training Manager for Disney, so she knows more than most how to bring the magic.
Her work helps people find different perspectives, different thinking about their situations and best of all, helps them tap into their own unique set of talents, strengths and qualities in order to maximise their best.
Karen Sargent
Karen is an Organisational Psychologist with over 18 years experience in various positions, including working for the BBC as a Business Psychologist. Her prior experience as a Brand Manager also helps her understand the daily challenges faced by managers and brings a practical and credible approach to her work.
Karen’s passion and warmth create an engaging atmosphere in the workshops she runs whilst her global experience helps her adapt to different cultural needs. Her focus on practical behaviour changes ensures that participants apply their learning to create lasting change.
