WHY I DEVELOPED THE COURSE
Too many smart, capable professionals struggle and are fearful to communicate their ideas and expertise. This holds them back from speaking up in meetings, let alone delivering a presentation.
Others are not necessarily fearful but their message lacks clarity, their delivery is long and boring, Q&A is mismanaged, and ultimately their audience tunes out. What at first is an opportunity to inform, motivate, and persuade becomes a disaster nobody wants to relive.
When you excel at developing and delivering presentations, it increases your confidence and can even transform how you see yourself. The truth is, with the right instruction, practice, and coaching, everyone can improve and some can become really great. That's what I want for you!
The 9 Week Master Class Starts September 23rd.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?
It's for Business Professionals who...
... Lack experience and training in designing and delivering presentations.
... Present to senior leaders, peers, teams, training audiences, civic groups, or investors.
... Stumbled, even bombed in the past, and are now fearful of ever presenting again.
... Feel you won't get promoted until you improve your presentation skills.
... Experience deep fear, even terror at the thought of presenting.
... Take endless hours designing your presentation or wait till the night before.
... Make changes right up to the last minute, many of which prove unnecessary.
... Spend more time designing slides instead of rehearsing your presentation.
... Fail to motivate and engage their audience.
... Use PowerPoint as your presentation instead of a visual tool to reinforce your message.
... Mismanage Q&A, especially from senior leaders or tough audiences with hidden agendas.
... Become overwhelmed, distraught and sick to their stomach with out of control nerves and anxiety.
... Hold on to self-defeating, limiting beliefs that keep you from delivering a great presentation.
... Possess overconfidence in your skills which leads to “winging” your presentation.
... Believe delivering effective presentations is critical to your success.
Wow... That sounds like me!

PARTICIPANTS MAKE REAL PROGRESS
Listen to these Graduates describe their Progress & Increased Confidence.
COMMON SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK
Watching YouTube Videos. There are simply too many to find the really good ones plus they offer conflicting instruction on the same topic which becomes confusing on what you need to do.
Going to Seminars. In many, you only listen to the speaker and don't practice what's being taught. You acquire knowledge but you don't develop skills.
Observing Great Speakers. This often results in trying to copy them which keeps you from using your unique gifts, developing your own style, and speaking authentically. You can't be someone else!
Practicing On Your Own. You receive no feedback and don't know what you do well or where to improve. Anyone who has ever mastered a skill has had a teacher... a Yoda... to guide their development.
WHY THIS COURSE GETS RESULTS
You learn a proven approach that works for all types of presentations and audiences.
You practice what you learn, receive group feedback and formal evaluations plus weekly 1:1 coaching.
You have lifetime access to workbooks and recordings of your classes, presentations and coaching sessions.

CLOSING THOUGHT
First, let me thank you for considering this course. Chances are you’ve read other course sales pages and if you’re like me, we’ve found them to be overly emotional and full of dubious claims.
Don't get me wrong, using emotion and credible claims are part of what makes a persuasive message and a memorable presenter. But please don't enroll just because I’m suggesting you should.
Simply reflect on the presentations you’ve delivered and visualize your audiences. Now ask yourself... Do they want to hear more or less from you?
Whether it's 1:1’s with people you lead, expressing thoughts in a team meeting, pitching to customers & prospects, leading training classes, or facilitating zoom calls, we're always presenting. To succeed, you must have a clear message that moves people to action.
When you excel at developing and delivering presentations, it increases your confidence, garners the respect of customers, peers, and bosses, and can advance your career. The truth is, with the right instruction, practice, and coaching, everyone can improve and some can become really great. That's what I want for you!
Transform Your Skills And Become A Clear, Confident & Compelling Presenter.
