Presentation Skill Coaches

We offer Presentation Skills Coaching for all public speaking needs, including Keynote Presentations from a Podium and Camera Presentations. Specific coaching is available for Technical Presentations, Instructor Facilitation and Meeting Management. All coaching for presentation skills is customized for individual needs, the topic and venue.

Coaching for effective presentations incorporates the techniques for addressing audiences of any size, as well as for developing the Public Speaking Skills necessary for audience management. An additional focus is on establishing the ability to prepare for Multi-Cultural Presentations and global audiences. Multi-cultural presentations are a challenge for the most skilled presenters.

Skills for overcoming the fear of public speaking, audience analysis, content development and preparation, creating effective openings & closings, presentation timing & transitions, and the question & answer sessions are addressed on an individual basis.

There is the option for presentations to be videotaped to follow the presenter’s progress, and for later review. All presentations made during the coaching are followed by a personal evaluation with the coach covering the presenter’s use of visualization technology, delivery and style, voice dynamics and tonality, body language, mannerisms and gestures, use of examples and metaphors, humor, the ability to establish audience rapport and positive audience participation. At the conclusion of each coaching session, the individual being coached receives all their presentation evaluations from the coach and a CD of all their presentations if videotaped.
