With my focused, no-nonsense approach, we can cover a lot. First, I do my homework before we meet to be well-prepared. Then, we will dive right into your requirements and address them through a combination of review, learning, coaching, and practice. We can talk about speed, pacing, language, visuals, principles of human reasoning, and thinking on your feet. I've coached many public speakers, and the results have been both significant and immediate.
We will quickly set the agenda by identifying your specific challenges and concerns. I will provide proven tools and techniques that my company and I have refined over the past 58 years. We've taught them to thousands of presenters at companies and institutions worldwide, including Apple, Amazon, Bain Capital, Bank of America, the CDC, Deloitte, Harvard University, Pfizer, and the White House.
A common one is handling nervousness. Another one is speaking clearly and persuasively. One of my most-liked topics is thinking on your feet so you can handle any situation, especially difficult or leading questions confidently.
It's my preferred platform, but I can use whatever you're most comfortable with, including FaceTime, Google Meet, Teams, WhatsApp, Slack, Facebook Portal, or just a phone call.
It really is! It is absolutely free, with no cost or obligation whatsoever. I do this because some of you will want to hire me after your event to continue learning, deal with other communication challenges you may have, or introduce me to colleagues who need my communication coaching and training.
It's a win-win for us both: You get a complimentary session with an experienced speech coach, and I get exposure that's proven to bring me new clients.
Many clients are prepared to schedule additional coaching sessions immediately following their free session. In this instance, I will schedule a time to discuss your immediate needs and offer my recommendation for additional sessions.
We coach speakers worldwide, at hundreds of events, and across multiple industries including life sciences, financial services, retail, legal, tech, automotive and manufacturing. We work independently and do not partner with nor are we being paid by any of the conference organizers.
It's listed on the event website. I have a marketing researcher who assists me with finding major conferences and offering complimentary coaching to the executives who are speaking at them.
We can do this anytime before your event, provided it gives you time to practice. Most often, I work with conference speakers 2-3 weeks before the conference date. My availability varies, but I keep times open on my calendar that should give you flexibility when scheduling.
