WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
It’s simple: we know you have everything necessary to be a great speaker. Why? Because we’ve worked with people just like you in all sorts of industries and at all management levels. We can teach you how to own the floor, no matter who is in the room; stay on point, no matter who interrupts, and deliver your messages with strong body language and even stronger talking points. The truth is, you don’t have to sound, look, or behave like anybody else hold an audience. You just have to be authentically you. We can help with that.
WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?
How long do you have and how many drinks can we pour? Part of it stems from our families. Between us, we have single moms that raised great kids, wives who navigated male-dominated industries, and daughters we’ve taught to not take crap from anybody. Part is because one of us has been in the trenches just like you – working, and occasionally elbowing, her way to get a seat at the grownup table. And part is because we believe in one thing: the power of a great idea. And that can come from anyone. Especially you.
DO YOU DELIVER WORKSHOPS IN PRIVATE SETTINGS?
Absolutely. We work for a large number of public, private, and not-for-profit organizations. If you’d like us to come to your organization, we’d love to chat more.
THINGS WE’RE ASKED.
DO YOU HOW DO I GET THE MOST OUT OF A WORKSHOP?
First, bring something you’re working on: internal presentation, customer pitch, creative brief, Webinar script. The best way to learn is to apply that knowledge to something that matters. Second, have a sense of adventure. You’ll get the chance to try some new things. Those who jump in with both feet tend to get the most out of the experience.
DO YOU OFFER INDIVIDUAL COACHING?
Absolutely. It’s a great way to prep for a big client pitch, keynote speech, or high–stakes presentation to that short–attention span senior leader. Yeah, that one. Think of us as a personal trainer. We line out a schedule, hold practice sessions, tell you where you’re nailing it, and show you, on video, where the polish is needed – and we can do it on site or remotely. Yeah, we know: videotaped practice sessions sound like a personalized version of hell on earth. But it’s how master communicators own that audience, stay on point, and deal with nasty questions. Just ask one of our favorite clients who practiced so diligently that her kids staged the entire talk one night in her living room. She nailed it. We can help you do the same.
WHO’S THE SMARTEST AMONG YOU?
Really? Jill. Next question.
AND THE FUNNIEST?
Dave gets the most laughs because he’s British. It’s more than a little annoying.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER GUY?
Carl believes baseball is a metaphor for life. We think he needs to get out more often.
FINALLY, I HEAR YOUR BACKPACKS WEIGH 15-20 POUNDS. WTF?
Slightly personal, but OK. We cannot tell you how many times we’ve walked into a room to discover a missing cable, connector, clicker, converter, set of fresh batteries, power cord, or functioning audio system. If you’ve made time for us, we’ll do our best to make sure everything is ready for you. Even if the projector melts down or the power fails, we’ll be ready. Because that’s what good presenters do.
