Our coach forced us to get out of the microcosm that we live in every day and focus on why what we’re talking about matters to listeners. It was eye-opening.

What's Challenging You?

A 30-minute Zoom session with Ian will allow you to discuss multiple topics of your choosing. His relaxed, practical advice and time-tested knowledge of best practices will give you greater "executive presence" and your presentation far more impact. Here are the most common topics requested by senior executives.

Plan and Prepare

Proper planning allows you to coordinate themes, messaging, and language for a more successful, memorable, and enjoyable event. 

Connecting with Listeners

Having a strategy that connects you to your listeners is fundamental in all communication and is critical for a successful conference presentation

Facilitation

Whether you are in a meeting or on a stage at a conference, being able to direct conversation is important to creating tangible outcomes. Good facilitation is the difference between a low value session and one that exceeds expectations.

Controlling Nervousness

Fear of speaking strikes at all levels, ages, business disciplines, and genders. But you don’t have to suffer from it. Anyone can understand and control a fear of speaking. Ian's coaching will help you control your anxiety so that you can speak with confidence.

Thinking on Your Feet

There is an art to handling yourself well in just about any setting. Ian will coach you on how to process and organize your thoughts quickly in a way that will help you communicate clearly and persuasively.

Practice Strategies 

Speakers are like athletes or musicians —they need to practice what they’ve learned. Many people try to practice, but few have the discipline to perfect their technique on their own. Ian can make your practice time more effective and productive.
