Presentation FAQ
What are the benefits of public speaking /presentations training and coaching? Speaking is an opportunity for your ideas to be heard, for people to notice you and your talent. Training results in overall increased confidence. My clients have gone on to new jobs, promotions, and other business opportunities as a result of training and coaching.

Where will the training take place?
Most clients prefer training and coaching to take place at their offices. However, some clients prefer an offsite location which I can help you arrange.
Do you use videotaping in your training? Yes, I do record your practice in private coaching sessions and group workshops. It is the most effective way for us to evaluate your skills and help you make solid progress on improving them. The recording belongs to the individual(s) who are being trained or coached. Can you help with content as well as delivery? Yes, I work with both content and delivery of business speeches and presentations. A great delivery with no substance is a lost opportunity for you and your audience. The greatest content cannot overcome a poor delivery. You need both to be a great communicator. |
How large are your workshops? I limit the presentation workshops to a maximum of eight people. This ensures that each person receives individual attention within the group setting. Who are your clients? I work with business professional from mid-level to executives in a variety of fields – everything from science and engineering to marketing and public relations – in government, non-profits, associations and corporations. Is private coaching better than a group workshop? One is not better than the other. The choice depends on your goals and schedule. Private coaching may be better if you have limited time and need immediate advice for an important business presentation. A workshop may be the best choice if you want to develop your overall speaking skills. I can help you determine the best choice for you during your free consultation. |
