Presentation Skills Coaching is intended for anyone who publicly represents his or her organization, or would like to. This program is designed to help participants improve their public speaking ability, handle speech anxiety, prepare for upcoming presentations, and build their strengths and personality into their performances. Effective use of visuals during presentations may also be an area of focus.

 

Presentation Skills Coaching is conducted in person at the participant’s place of business, preferably in a conference or meeting room that allows for privacy.

The first portion of a coaching session involves the coach and participant spending some time discussing what he or she would like to gain from the coaching, what issues he or she would like to address, and any other areas of public speaking that are of interest to the participant. The coach may also inquire as to the “coachee’s” background and experiences with public speaking.

Next, the coach will video tape the participant presenting approximately 15 minutes of material from either a current presentation to be given in the near future or from a presentation given in the past. The coach and participant will watch the video together with the coach providing feedback. The participant will then be asked to present a portion of the material again, taking into account the coach’s feedback.

The session will conclude with the coach and participant addressing any other areas of concern, such as handling speech anxiety or using visuals. The participant will be given a DVD of his or her session to keep for future reference. The coach does not keep a copy of the recording.

Sessions may be two or three hours in duration and are priced accordingly. Please see our Coaching Pricing page for additional details regarding fees.

Prior to the session, the coach may ask the participant to complete a preliminary assessment of his or her presentation skills free of charge and/or respond via e-mail to some questions designed to learn the coachee’s desired results.
