How to say it better - for speakers
What do you need to say better?
I have helped hundreds of speakers to "say it better." Whether the speaker is a corporate leader needing to sell a new vision, a salesperson pitching a product, or even, occasionally, a woman in jail asking for parole - they all need to move listeners to a new way of thinking, feeling, or acting. I know the challenge of engaging, motivating, and influencing audiences, and I give them the tools, the support, and the know-how they need to do it.

This is where I'd love to say, "Well, you can't. I'm booked to the day I die with celebrities, high government officials, and people who routinely travel in helicopters." You know, like Bono and Al in the photo.
But I can't say that - not just because I'm modest, and not just because it's not true. I love to work with real people - in corporations, tech firms, non-profit organisations, start-ups, and politics. People who have something important to say and want to find the best way to to say it, to present it, to write it. People who drive to work or enjoy a nice subway ride every day.

Workshops that meet the specific needs of participants.
Adults who are giving hours of their precious time for training deserve a program that meets their real needs, and not some generic off-the-shelf course. That's why I'll want to hear a LOT about what your group needs and wants, and then I'll integrate your specifics into the training. My goal is to never hear feedback like "Well that was all interesting and fun, but it didn't relate to me."
All my trainings use interactive games, some of them brought from my many years teaching and performing stand up and improv comedy in all settings. I'm passionate about using the most fun and most effective ways to help your team build skills fast.
Topics for public speaking workshops include:
Coaching
I coach speakers alone or in small groups. Participants get an assessment of strengths and challenges, and then we get to work on individual needs. We use structured practice, constructive feedback, and video to build skills and confidence at each meeting.
Speaking
Need a speaker for an event? I offer humorous - and often interactive - keynotes on all aspects of communication.
