4 Reasons You Need A Presentation Coach

4 Reasons you need a presentation coach

  • Could Christian Pulisic have scored a hat trick in the premier league without coaching?

  • Could the Pioneer Woman have been able to make southern food great without coaching?

  • Could Steph Curry have defied the odds without coaching?

Anyone who has done something great has had someone in their corner helping them and guiding them along the way. If you are preparing for a career impacting presentation or speech, you might need a coach in our corner.

Here are four ways to know you need to call us:

1) You started preparing for your speech with a PowerPoint.

Listen - how many influential presentations have you heard with a death by PowerPoint presentation? We want people to remember you and your message - not your slides.

2) You can’t share a story without ummmsss and ahhhs ..

You can be great, but if you have a great amount of filler words and noises you won’t be great today. Just like you are distracted by filler noise - so will be your audience. Let us help you nail your presentation so your audience will know your message versus your filler word of choice. ummk.

3) You can’t open up and grab your audience.

You’ve seen it happen a million times. The speaker starts talking and you start checking email. You don’t want to be the speaker that gives everyone a chance to catch up on work they are “missing”. You want to be the speaker that causes people to remember your message and forget about their calendars.

4) You have friends that say you are great.

You are awesome. We know that. However, if you have friends who are not telling you how to improve your speaking, they can’t be trusted to guide you towards delivering an influential presentation.

Do they check your:

  • Content for flow, timing, and impact?

  • Body language?

  • Hand motions?

  • Pacing?

  • Storytelling?

  • Vocal variety?

  • Transitions?

Listen - we all have great friends, but if I’m going into a career impacting presentation, I want my friends in my corner and a coach who is guiding me towards the win.

Give us a call if you are ready to advance your ability to deliver a presentation to your fullest potential!
