PRESENTATION SKILLS
Presentation Boot Camp
This is an opportunity for your staff to advance their presentation skills by leaps and bounds in just 2-3 days, in-person. Students gain tips and tricks to make their presentations more impactful immediately and have several opportunities to practice speeches in front of the group and the coach. Group and private coaching are included in this workshop. The group experience prepares colleagues within the company to hold each other accountable for the skills they learned and ensure that they are used after the class.
Boot Camp “Lite”
This mini version of Presentation Boot Camp allows students to learn with a coach, online, during the lunch hour. Topics include connecting with the audience, proper organization of notes, and how to use PowerPoint to add to, rather than distract from a presentation. Unlike the full “Boot Camp” above, students don’t get to practice and receive feedback, but they will receive valuable tools that can be implemented immediately to improve.
Private Coaching
Some schedules don’t lend themselves to group training. Private coaching is often a better fit. Individual clients average about 3-5 sessions of about 75 minutes each to polish their skills.
INTERVIEW SKILLS
RFP Interviews
When two companies are essentially equal in capabilities, their interview can tip the scales. If you want to win the business, we will get your team and your materials ready for prime time!
Job Interviews
Interviews can take so many forms these days, from in-person, to live video to video submission. We help candidates prepare for every situation and win the job.
TAILORED PROGRAMS
What we find most exciting is to design a keynote or workshop specifically for your team. If one of our existing programs is not exactly what you are looking for, let’s discuss what would best meet your needs. If our expert team feels confident in putting it together for you, we’ll do it! If not, we probably know just the right people to do so!
KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS
With so much “noise” coming at clients and employees every minute, via email, texts, social media, videos, etc., holding an audience’s attention can be enormously challenging. Our keynotes and workshops break through that noise and make an impact. 1-hour, ½day, and full-day sessions are available for groups interested in learning about presentation skills, interoffice communication, female communication, time management, and other important subjects.
LEADERSHIP & SUCCESS COACHING
It's important to have someone with whom emerging and existing leaders can discuss their careers without any concern about confidentiality. And the higher up one rises in the organization, the more difficult it is to find the right confidant to be a sounding board. Consider private coaching for yourself or someone on your team looking for professional growth.
GROUP FACILITATION, PARTNERING, & STRATEGIC PLANNING
Consensus can be difficult to build and navigating a complex group dynamic can be tricky, especially if leadership is perceived to not be neutral. As independent, third-party professional facilitators, we will lead the group through a productive discussion to reach strategic outcomes.
MEDIA & CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING
Anyone with a cellphone is a reporter today. Are you ready for every tweet or video posted about the company? We will work with you to prepare for and rehearse various scenarios to ensure that your organization is shown in the best light with the media. Our program is customized to the needs of your team and to the roles of the individual participants. And if your crisis communications plan is out of date, let us assist you in getting it and your team ready to act. Group and private sessions available
TEAM BUILDING
Work groups are missing this now more than ever. As many teams are no longer spending all day, every day with each other, it can be difficult to develop relationships. Communicating across a screen is just not the same as being together in person. We will help create connections or re-establish old ones so that the group can be more productive together.
EMCEEs
No one wants to sit through a long, boring awards ceremony or conference dinner. As your emcees, our team will bring energy and pizazz to your event!
