Presentation Coaching Designed For Driven Executives
Your most effective path to
presentations that get results.
Every. Time.
Your important meeting is looming. You have a million things going on, all of them critical. You finally carve out time to prepare. But your message just doesn’t come out right. And for this presentation, you need to get it right.
You will. During presentation coaching, you and I hone your messages until they land. We combine your understanding of the business and my proven communication process. So you deliver your presentation with confidence.
No time to lose because your presentation is happening in days?
From “This will have to do” to “Let’s go!“
Walk into the board room with powerful messages and the confidence to match
As a high-performing executive, you have the expertise and authority to back your ideas up. Even so, you walk out of meetings wondering if your recommendations truly landed. Or when the board will take the decision you’ve been advocating for months.
You know what you’re doing. You and your teams deliver well above target, quarter after quarter. All you need is a better way to communicate those results.
You only need one good meeting. One meeting for you to deliver your powerful message and see it land. One meeting you walk out of feeling confident because you knocked it out of the park.
One meeting that gives you something incredibly powerful. Deep trust in your ability to get your message across.
Presentation coaching
for executives
You need presentation coaching specifically designed for driven executives. It isn’t about working on your presence or learning timeless communication constructs.
You’ve mastered those – or are well on your way. Your executive presence got you where you are today. And what you need right nów is to tackle that presentation.
Your expertise and understanding of the business are core to building your presentation. You just need a time-effective process and hands-on tools to turn those into powerful messages. You need an experienced thought partner. And you need a way to fit it all within your presentation deadline and busy schedule.
Most of all, you need the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve got it covered.
Which is exactly what presentation coaching with me is all about. From our first free consult to the moment you knock your presentation out of the park.
You need someone
who brings as much to the table
as you do
You need a problem-solver who understands your business reality. Like the former McKinsey consultant with 13 years of experience working with driven executives.
You deserve a trusted advisor who knows how to coach high performers. Like the talent manager with a coaching certification who helped future McKinsey partners accelerate their careers.
You need a communication expert. Like the conversion copywriter focused on decision-making processes and storytelling.
You get all that when you work with me. My unique blend of experiences makes me the executive communication coach I am today. Through the years, I’ve tested and refined the most effective way to work on communication with leaders like you. It resulted in the hands-on communication process I’ll walk you through during our presentation coaching.
Like a process. Unlike any communication process you’ve used before.
Most people shiver at the notion of an (admittedly dry-sounding) process. As an executive, you understand the value of a proven path to success.
No more scouring your files for old presentations and cobbling together the new one by yourself. Instead, you and I define and refine your objectives and messages together. Once we do, your persuasive presentation is at your fingertips. We’ll build it together.
Step 1. Clear objectives
Never start from a blank slide again
What if you started with a clear vision of what success for this meeting looks like?
You know how powerful a vision is to get the right results. During the first free consult, you set specific objectives for the upcoming presentation. So you can get a running start whether you decide to work with me or not.
Let’s say we prove to be a good fit. When you say yes to further presentation coaching, you determine the way we work together. By the end of our consult, you understand the options for working sessions that fit your deadline and schedule. So you get to the day of your meeting feeling well-prepared. And deliver your presentation with confidence.
Step 2. Powerful messages
It just got harder for other executives to catch up on their e-mails
Who’s got time to scroll through unanswered e-mails on their phone when your presentation powers a lively debate about an important project?
Knowing what your audience needs to engage sounds like a no-brainer. But how often do you incorporate that insight into your presentation? During coaching, we combine your understanding of the business and the people you’ll present to with my question-driven discovery process. You’ll deliver messages that empower your audience to make decisions.
So your communication drives the change your organization needs.
Step 3. A presentation that gets results
I got 99 problems but this slide ain’t one
Few people realize how many responsibilities start and stop with you as an executive. If you do NOT want to add creating presentation materials to that very, very long list, who would blame you?
By the end of our presentation coaching, you will have a convincing, well-structured story to tell your audience. And you know what message each slide needs to bring.
Does the notion of filling those slides fills you with horror? Don’t worry. You just got a new asset on your team.
Over a decade at McKinsey taught me how to draft slides that support and enhance your messages. (And let’s be honest, it also taught me what NOT to do. Believe me, I made plenty of those slides too.)
Once you have your presentation in hand, you can do a run through with me. So you can walk into your meeting room with a powerful message, an excellent presentation, and the confidence to match.
“I just don’t know
where to find the time”
Let’s be real. You’re an executive. A packed schedule is your daily reality.
Presentation coaching replaces the time you’d otherwise spend preparing your meeting by yourself. Or the time you need to clean up the 50%-there-version that your team handed you. Even so, it can be a juggling act to fit into your schedule.
I understand.
Do you need to reschedule last minute? We will. No questions asked. No fees charged.
Do you need to bang this presentation out in a few sessions because the meeting got moved forward? We will.
Need a late-evening slot because it’s the only time that works for you? No problem.
You will meet your deadline. And I will fit your schedule to make it happen. So you can have the peace of mind knowing you’ve got this one.
“When I work with Ellen, I know that it will be done well. It’s about that trust and peace of mind, knowing it will all work out. We get to excellent results through our dialogue and collaboration. When my head is full to bursting with everything that’s happening in the business, being able to tick off that box….it’s such a relief.”
Boost your communication confidence.
