Executive Speech Coaching

How "attractive" are you as a presenter, public speaker or trainer? No, not your looks, but your consistent ability to provide a quality presentation, hold audiences captive and be calm and confident when presenting.

 
Ask yourself, "Wouldn't…"

• It be great to be able to stand in front of an audience of hundreds of people and hold them in complete captivation?
   
• You love to feel confident and assured the day you're scheduled to speak before your company's executives, venture capitalists or a local civic group?
   
• It be nice to go into a presentation confident that they're going to love you, to hear their applause, to overhear comments afterwards such as "He was excellent", or "she made a real connection with her audience?"
   
• You love to NOT be a master of ceremonies to your PowerPoint presentation?

 
Then I would like to work with you!

We'll work together to:

• Add persuasive power to your presentations.
• Enhance your organizational performance.
• Create new and effective techniques to increase your confidence.
• Help you unlearn annoying habits which detract from your message.
• Learn the secrets of professional speakers.

"Executive coaches are not for the meek. They’re for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common, it’s that they are ruthlessly results-oriented."
FAST COMPANY Magazine

 With coaching, you will:

• Learn how to plan and prepare with focus;
• Practice efficiently;
• Anticipate audience objections and questions;
• Deliver with conviction and confidence, and
• Get results!
   

"Thanks for your participation in SCN 2006..... your presentation was marked on several comments sheets at the end as "the best of the show". You were a huge hit especially with the new members. I personally came away with many useful tips for a SCN blog and "spiffying up" my own website. One of our technology members has accepted the personal duty of taking on the blog which will take the place of our Tele-bridge calls throughout the year. Thank you for that!!! " They all loved your homework of getting to know so many BEFORE the program."

"I could not have even come close to presenting myself to the speaking circuit without Sandra's coaching help. What was particularly important to me was that she had a good working knowledge of the securities and investment profession, and what she did not know she picked up very quickly. So it was my learning curve we worked on...not hers."

"Without Sandra's coaching help, I would have stumbled badly out of the "speaking gate." Her ongoing guidance was an enormous assurance that I would be polished and right on target once I launched my speaking career."
Thomas Grady, Partner, CCO, Trinity Family Wealth

 
"It has been a pleasure to work with you this past year on our executive presentation skills. I feel that our ability to communicate ideas, suggestions and follow-up for improvement greatly contributed to the overall success at the District Managers' Meeting in May and more importantly at the National Dealer Meeting in September."

"As a result, the executives exhibited a more confident and relaxed persona on stage. I believe this resulted in the audience relating to them on a more personal level, thus achieving our goal."

"I look forward to continuing to work with you as we fold-in mid-level management into the training this spring."

"In the meantime, if I can be of any assistance or provide any recomendations I would not hesitate to recommend you to similar corporations considering a professional speech coach."

"The training session was well-received by our marketing professionals. We look forward to having you back next year for additional training."

"During Sandra's coaching period, I felt I found a long time friend who listened to me, knew exactly what I needed, and always gave me some magical ideas to address the many work challenges I experienced. After our coaching calls, I became recharged with better understanding, a clear path-forward and more confidence. It really made my learning program a successful and enjoyable experience."
