Speaking Results - Executive Presentation Coaching

At Speaking Results, we ensure that you are at your best when it really counts.  We understand how to help you discover and draw on your most compelling, authentic, and confident self. You will learn how to call on your talents to create compelling presentations.

Public Speaking Techniques

We work with you to take your speaking to a new level.  If you want to overcome fears of public speaking or develop a stronger voice, we can teach you the best techniques to make that happen.  Perhaps you'd like to deliver stories with more impact or use gestures more effectively-we can help with that too.  We work on any fears of public speaking that can make strong ideas whither. We support and encourage you, ask you to stretch your range, and teach you improved communication skills. In the process, we guide you toward new levels of expertise and self-expression. 

Three-Step Package

1. Every client is different, so we tailor the work to what is best for you.  Usually, we start with a three-step package.  First, Jean uses her Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) training to help you address any fears that may be holding you back.  You begin to examine old perceptions you've carried for years that may no longer work for you and replace them with new perspectives.  Gently, Jean guides you and helps you shift limiting attitudes into new beliefs that better serve you. 

2. In the second step of our presentation coaching, we explore the content of your presentation.  We look into what your goals are for the presentation and how best to achieve them.  This process includes developing the content, organizing it based on proven presentation techniques, and editing it for clarity and creativity.

3. In step three, we practice the delivery together.  Jean uses her vast knowledge of public speaking techniques to advise you on how to get the attention you want.  She works with you on presentation skills, posture, and voice.  Finally, we use video taping as a tool so you can see for yourself how well you are doing and where you can improve your hand gestures, posture, etc. We give you constructive feedback with our comments and through video playback. Finally, we develop a plan and work with you to identify and implement desired changes.

This package also may include:

• Physical, verbal and vocal exercises to strengthen and develop your presentation "instrument."
• Interview sessions to help you uncover your own stories.
• NLP exercises, visualization, and relaxation techniques to work on clarity, calmness and confidence.

Whether you are new to presenting, or an established presenter wanting to polish your skills, our presentation coaching allows you to discover and unleash your best.

Regular sessions and special packages

After our first three sessions, we will set up a schedule that is best suited to your needs. Some clients prefer to work on a weekly basis, others monthly, and some quarterly (and many others, right before a big speech is coming up when they really need it!).  Some clients get the most benefit from on-going consultation. A yearly contract is available that combines telephone and person-to-person meeting times.

As promised, we are flexible to your needs.
