Presentation Training for executives and  professionals: 

We work every week with the most advanced, professional performers in the country. Our job is make them better at their work with targeted, effective, feedback rehearsals and direction. We bring those same training skills to all presenters… whether you are an executive facing a new sales staff, an announcer trying to break into news, a member of a product launch team, a politician explaining a new program, or an athlete who is changing career directions. 

Our clients range from cabinet level politicians to Fortune 500 CEO’s, from news anchors to VJ’s, from classical actors to stand-up comedians.

Media coaching, speech skill training, message review , and self-confidence training are all available. 

Our method uses video feedback, clear concise direction, rehearsals and physical and vocal exercises that have been field tested over many years of training.

We have often been retained to prepare an entire “team” of presenters. This training can be tailored so that weaker or less experienced presenters get more time, but everyone gets some attention. This can be purchased as an on-site rehearsal package for major meetings or events. We have trained hundreds of different presenters. Sometimes our coaching has been a two-hour, last-minute preparation for a critical event. Sometimes it has been part of a longer term career enhancement project of many sessions over several months

Special presentation programs and team training can be designed in conjunction with your human resources or organizational development department staff.
