Executive Presentation Coaching
Polishing skills for your next big career move
Regardless of the specific plan, which always involves real-life content, the overarching goal of this work will be to assess and build on your existing skill set to help you project confidence and executive presence. We want you to be the most effective speaker you can be. The issues targeted will be unique to your situation; however, the following is a list of what we typically work on.
Executive Coaching Goals
- Establishing and meeting audience-specific presentation outcomes
- Streamlining the organization and slide development phase, including working with input from others
- Developing slides that are easy to deliver and appropriate
- Identifying techniques to easily tailor presentations to specific audiences
- Managing anxiety around delivering bad news
- Engaging listeners in the conversation and using video effectively
- Communicating effectively face-to-face, virtually, and in hybrid situations
- Ensuring a polished and professional presence
- Delivering slides clearly and persuasively
- Remaining flexible while managing audience interactions
- Listening well and reserving judgment
- Using visuals effectively, whether face-to-face or virtual, seated or standing
- Using virtual tools, including video, for maximum engagement
- Facilitating conversations that occur during presentations
During the coaching sessions, you will be recorded. The video will be reviewed immediately after it is made. Through this process, you’ll identify what’s working and pinpoint areas to improve. This will help you achieve the objectivity you need to succeed. Through various exercises, you’ll work on skills and techniques that work uniquely for you.
We recommend a minimum of two sessions after the chemistry meeting. The number of additional sessions, if any, will be determined as we go along.

Communication Training Yields Business Results
We believe that business communication training must focus on business results: making work easier, employees more successful, workplaces more cooperative, and goals more attainable.
Getting Business Done and Growing Leadership Capability: Everything we do is designed to help people get business done and grow their capabilities. While a particular workshop may focus on a specific business goal—closing a deal, making a decision, learning something new, or gaining alignment—every workshop is designed to help the participants be more comfortable, effective, and confident communicators. When employees communicate more effectively, leadership capability increases and careers advance. This brings positive results to your team and company.
Private Coaching and Video Review: Capturing learners on video as they work on their real-life content, which is followed by video playback and coaching, is an essential element to this training. It helps learners understand their natural strengths (and weaknesses). As they grow their self-awareness, they can apply what they learn in coaching to the variety of situations they face outside of it.

The First Step
The first step in the process is a virtual meeting between you (the executive) and one of our presentation coaches. We call this phone call the “chemistry meeting.” It’s important to the success of the engagement that both parties are comfortable working together and mutual trust and respect are present. Following the chemistry meeting, goals of the engagement will be established, options will be discussed, and an action plan will be put in place.
