Presentation Skills Coaching

For some people, getting up in front of an audience is terrifying. For others, it's an energizing experience. The truth is, though, that most people aren’t naturally gifted orators. It takes time, patience, and practice to master the art of public speaking.

Working with a speech coach is a good start, especially if you have a presentation coming up that you need help with. But mastering the art of public speaking is more than just writing a speech and then practicing it until you feel comfortable delivering it in front of an audience. There are many other ways to develop communication skills that will help your own personal and professional goals.

In addition to writing and editing your speeches, here are some other areas we can work on to make you a better speaker and a more confident leader:
  • Preparing for job interviews or performance appraisals
  • Improving your interpersonal skills including successful negotiations, conflict resolution, and assertiveness
  • Learning how to think fast and speak fluently in almost any situation, from holding a conversation with a stranger in an elevator to answering an unexpected question from someone in a position of authority 
  • Reviewing and refining your training programs, seminars, and workshops before you take them to market
  • Brushing up on your business and networking etiquette
  • Understanding the dos and don'ts of speaking to the media (print, radio, and television)
  • Planning successful meetings and events (setting agendas, planning conferences, hiring keynote speakers)
  • Defining and refining your personal brand
Together, we can identify the things you want to work on and then come up with practical solutions to help you reach your public speaking and leadership goals.

Storytelling on Camera

Television news interviews are a wonderful opportunity to share your organization’s story. Being on camera---whether in a special feature segment, a documentary, or even in your own YouTube video---is a chance to strengthen public perceptions about what your organization does and how it's making a difference in the community. The next time a journalist wants to put your story on the news, seize the opportunity! Here are some simple tips to help you shine in the spotlight. Be prepared. Have a protocol in place that identifies who from your organization is responsible for acting as the company's spokesperson or “chief storyteller.” Have a “deputy” spokesperson in place too so that there's always someone on hand to answer questions from reporters, journalists, and high-level officials. Be open and accessible. Remember, every encounter with the media is an opportunity for positive public exposure. Don’t hide from reporters when they call. Get out there in front of them....

Weaving Your Communications Strategy Into a Story

A successful communications strategy is much like a well-written, well-told story. As with all compelling narratives, your communications strategy should have: a beginning that sets the stage for the challenge ahead an action-packed middle filled with exciting tales as your organization passes major milestones a satisfying conclusion where all the pieces come together and your organization’s journey concludes with a happy ending. Now, imagine sharing this story with your stakeholders over the period of one year. Your case statement is the introduction to your story. It’s what draws stakeholders in by clearly stating the challenge your organization is faced with and why it urgently needs to overcome this challenge. Your case statement defines what’s at stake and explains what resources and support your organization will need to meet this challenge.  It must also create a hopeful vision of what will happen when the obstacle is finally overcome. Next is the action-packed mi...

Are You Ready to Change the World, One Story at a Time?

Stories are the building blocks of humanity and of one of the most powerful tools humans have to connect with each other, locally and globally. Our survival as a species is, and always has been, dependent upon our ability to share, learn from, and listen to each others' stories. If we didn’t have stories, we’d have no need for art, poetry, song, or theatre. Stories are paradoxical. They can construct or deconstruct our realities. The stories we choose to tell are as revealing as the ones we choose to deny. Stories are the ultimate equalizer. Stories can be a form of resistance in the face of extreme oppression. They open up safe spaces for acts of injustice to be exposed, examined, and rectified. Stories inspire us to take action. Stories are what align our internal mission, vision, and values with the path we choose to follow. Stories are at the heart of change, growth, resilience, and survival. It's time the world heard your story.
