Our Presentation Skills Training Uses Diverse Training Materials
As with our other programs, we interview participants before the presentation skills workshop to learn their needs, interests and concerns. We then prepare a curriculum and suitable materials.
Participants in our presentation skills training receive a workbook customized for their company and their particular needs, well-stocked with tips, tools, strategies, and inherited wisdom on the art and science of presentation skills.
At the end of the presentation skills workshop, each participant receives a personalized video CD, a record of all the exercises they did in the program and an excellent resource for further self-study.
Furthermore, they receive tools and templates to help guide their thinking and structure their presentations so that they are concise, clear, and persuasive.
After the presentation skills training, they receive detailed personal assessments from their instructors and access to our library and archive of useful tools for speakers.

We also Provide Executive Presentation Skills Coach Services
In addition to our group presentation skills training, we also provide executive presentation skills coach services to individuals whose standing in the company warrants the personal attention.
These presentation skills coach engagements generally occur over a period of several months in which we work together with the executive on a particular talk or on a series of talks. The repetition enables us to train the individual on our approach, and to build new more effective habits.
Some examples of our presentation skills coach engagements include:
- A candidate for the chairmanship of a global consulting firm
- A VP of marketing for a global telecom brand
- Members of a brand team who were launching a new product
