Too many people think they’re communicating when all they’re doing is confusing. It doesn’t have to be like that. Great communication starts with listening and understanding. The more you do that, the better you’ll be at connecting with other people and gaining their trust. What if you could transform the way people listen to and understand the things you say and write? You can. And it starts here.

We provide individual coaching, along with programs for leadership teams and employee groups. Whether it’s an afternoon of speech-coaching, a two-day coaching camp or a global webinar, our highly engaging and interactive training programs deliver lasting results. Each is custom designed around you organizational and cultural needs.

The Stand

How to Speak Like You Mean Business

To speak is to take a STAND. Literally. You stand in front of your people and you enroll them in joining you in your stand. How? There are three specific things your audience needs to know before they’ll buy your story.

• Do I trust you?
• Do I know what you stand for?
• Do you make me care?

In this coaching, you’ll learn to hit all three and to enjoy your time on stage while you’re doing it.

The Story

How to Make Ideas Stick

Story isn’t a “thing” you insert into communications to make them more memorable. To the human mind, story is everything and everything is story. Story is how we interpret the world around us, as told by our senses and organized into content by our minds. You’ll learn the rules of great stories and how to connect to a reader’s heart and mind in everything you write or speak, from a memo to a speech to a thought-leader book.

Pitch Camp

You want to change the world. How would you pitch that?

You’ve got a great creative idea and one chance to sell it to a major investor or client prospect. For start-ups and early capital raises, Pitch Camp is the best way to get results. Working with peers from companies at the similar stage of development helps you learn from the mistakes of others and often leads to meaningful collaborations. Naturally, one-on-one coaching is available, as well.
