One-on-One Coaching in New York City

Industry Leaders That Get Results

If you ask the best athletes about their winning ways, they will tell you this: Peak performance is achieved when natural ability meets great coaching. It’s a formula that easily transcends sports. With the proper training and motivation, anyone can build upon the presentation skills they already have and become the speaker they always wanted to be.

In our public speaking workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions we take a tailored and targeted approach to your training by zeroing in on the areas that bring about immediate improvement and results. However, we also have an action plan for your growth that goes much further. We do that by helping you develop a unique set of public speaking tips and techniques tailored to your specific presentation goals. When it’s game time, you will deliver – with confidence – a compelling and effective presentation, whether you are speaking to an audience of Fortune 500 executives or a six-person sales team.

This is how we’ll do it:

  • Developing an action plan that aligns with your style, specific presentation needs, and content
  • Conducting extensive research into your industry or area of expertise so that the tips and techniques are relevant and effective to your needs and more likely to connect with your audience
  • Encouraging a flexible approach so that you have the tools to deliver an effective presentation today, a successful keynote address tomorrow, and persuasive board presentations and global webinars in the future

 

We know life moves quickly in New York City. Your busy schedule is no exception. Our public speaking coaches are experts at targeting the exercises and techniques that immediately lead to:

  • Better communication skills
  • Stronger and more persuasive messages
  • More effective body language
  • Powerful PowerPoint presentations
  • And more

 

We have successfully trained thousands of clients since 2004. Through interactive experiences and practice presentations, we encourage you to practice new skills and explore your range. Personalized feedback leads to meaningful, and often dramatic, real-time growth during our coaching sessions.

We work with you so that our strategies and recommendations fit within your corporate culture and professional community. You will learn how to better connect, inform, and inspire your audiences; attract customers and supporters; and enhance your reputation as an expert in the field.

Let us help you become the best speaker you always wanted to be.

Grand Central Terminal: 0.5 miles, 9-minute walk

HOW IS OUR PUBLIC SPEAKING COACHING DIFFERENT?

  • We conduct deep research into your organization.

    If there’s one thing clients have told us more than anything else, it’s how surprised they were by the amount of research we conducted before each session. Before your customized coaching session, we’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches, PowerPoint presentations, outlines, notes, and video clips. We’ll also learn more about your organization, the audiences you face, and the challenges you encounter when discussing your work.

  • We are industry leaders

    Our first book, The Media Training Bible, was an Amazon #1 Public Relations best seller. Our second book, 101 Ways to Open a Speech, was a Kindle #1 Public Speaking best seller. We’ve trained tens of thousands of people for the world’s biggest stages—and have earned the repeat business of many loyal clients who were thrilled with their results.

  • We know how to teach.

    Knowing how to deliver a successful presentation isn't enough. It's far more important to be able to transfer our knowledge to our clients in a manner that enables them to act on it immediately. We’re rooted in theory but deliver practical advice. We've regularly refined our teaching methodology since 2004 and have delivered hundreds of successful coaching engagements.

  • We root our recommendations in research.

    We regularly hear stories from clients who were instructed by a previous trainer to do something that didn't have any basis in research. As a result, the trainees were trying to communicate in an unnatural manner that went against their instincts—and that didn't work for their audiences. Wherever possible, our advice is based in research, not subjective opinion.

Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking

Best Practices Based on Practical Advice

One of the fundamental challenges for many presenters is the fear of public speaking. Standing before any group – large or small – can bring about a crippling anxiety in many people. If left unchecked, such fear can derail your presentation. But what if we told you that – if harnessed correctly – this anxiety can be a powerful motivator and help you to excel as a public speaker?

Whether you want to focus on how to reduce your anxiety, create more compelling visuals, reinforce your message, or engage with your audience, we believe advice should be easy to implement, practical, and measurable. Most importantly, it must be based on research, not subjective opinion.

Part of that work is taking a deep dive into what it is that you do. We’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches and presentations. We’ll learn about the audiences you face. And, we’ll discuss any obstacles you typically encounter during your presentations. Solutions only make sense when you can effectively implement them.

We offer a warm and encouraging environment that fosters exploration and experiment. We’ve helped speakers prepare for the World Economic Forum, TED, and a presidential debate. We’ve helped fundraisers connect with donors. We’ve helped municipal leaders better inform their communities. We’ve helped executives present powerful keynote addresses. And, we’ve helped speakers on all types of stages encourage audiences to think big.

Come work with our public speaking coaches in New York City. (We also offer virtual training.)
