public speaking coaching

Public Speaking Coaching helps you transform jitters and foggy messaging into clear, inspiring and authoritative presentations.

how public speaking coaching works for talks, presentations and speeches

In one-on-one presentation coaching sessions, you’ll rehearse and finesse your next talk or speech. Our goal? A presentation delivered with a clear call to action and a message that your audience remembers long after they walk out the door or click “leave meeting.” 

Whether you’re speaking to one client, the board of directors or a packed Zoom meeting, Gigi meets you where you are. She’ll help you build on your natural skills to create a presentation delivered with clarity and ease. With public speaking coaching, you’ll learn to:

Use storytelling techniques to engage listeners

Write for the spoken voice

Look and sound your best on a real or virtual stage

Communicate with images including PowerPoint Dos and Don’ts

Foster your own sense of calm

Present with vitality and clarity

Is one-on-one public Speaking coaching for you?

Individualized coaching is for you if you’re:

a CEO delivering a keynote or TED-style talk

an entrepreneur pitching a high-stakes investor

a technical expert wanting to present to a lay audience without “dumbing it down”

an introvert needing to transfer in-person skills to the virtual world

a leader with limited time who thrives with customized, private sessions and frequent check-ins

If a group format is more your speed, Gigi teaches these skills in customized, hands-on public speaking workshops and small group trainings for your team or organization.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PRESENTATION COACHING CLIENTS

“ The simple—and easy to follow—tips Gigi gave me have helped my camera confidence. She’s helping me go from camera-shy to camera-‘hi!’ ”

“ For those of you in the Portland area, Gigi is a gem and great to work with on public speaking! ”

“ When the pandemic hit, I had to transform a professional leadership program into a teleconference experience. The tools and inspiration Gigi offered changed my game. Completely. She reframed and transformed my thinking. In turn, I was able to transform my program into a teleconference experience with great success. Thank you, Gigi! ”

“ Gigi helped me make a pitch more succinct, easier to understand and honed in on opportunities for clever editing of key words to enhance the overall delivery. Her feedback was specific, clear, and impactful. She is warm, clever, charming and overall a pleasure to work with. ”

“ I am grateful for Gigi’s expertise and for helping me secure a new role recently. The skills she helped me perfect ensured that my presentations during the interview process impressed the selection committee enough that they hired me! ”

“ It was a pleasure to work with Gigi. I learned a tremendous amount in our sessions about shaping a talk and presenting to a non-academic audience. I know this will continue to serve me in the future. ”

“ Moderating the panel discussion went better than I ever could have expected! Gigi helped me craft questions, transition smoothly between topics and think through details I hadn’t considered. Afterwards, my mentor complimented me on my professional presence. Pretty awesome all around! ”

“ Gigi was extremely professional, attentive and flexible in coaching team members overseas. All reports back highlighted Gigi’s efficiency during sessions and her ability to quickly pinpoint areas for speakers to improve while offering practical and helpful solutions to speakers to optimize right away. Gigi’s work far exceeded our expectations. ”

“ Thanks for your help on my Artist Talk. I felt much more confident after our session. Your suggestions and techniques were invaluable and helped me feel so much more comfortable. The audience was very attentive and responded with huge applause and lively questions. ”

“ I felt immensely happy after I gave my presentation. The time and energy I put into the process really paid off. Gigi’s suggestions helped me keep the audience engaged throughout. I received positive feedback not only from my boss but from one of my competitors. I’m so glad I used Gigi’s consulting and I will be back. ”

“ Thank you for the work you did with me individually to prepare me for my session AND the collective work you did with all of the speakers you worked with. It really paid off. Not only was your advice really valuable but you also lit a fire under those who were less prepared to get ready. By the end we were strong and coherent! We really appreciate it. ”

“ We have consulted with Gigi for group training and individual coaching with excellent results. With her innate good humor, she quickly zeros in on a presenter’s strengths, offering practical insights to build confidence and keep audiences engaged. She’s become our secret weapon! ”

“ Gigi brought insight and knowledge to my staff at MSN that dramatically enhanced their communication skills. She listened, observed, coached individuals to understand unique skills suited to their specific needs. She has an instructional mastery that I have rarely seen. ”

“ Gigi gave me several actionable ideas that I incorporated into my remarks which greatly improved my presentation. She also asked me to send her a self-critique of my performance and then followed up with several more ideas for next time. I was impressed at how substantive her suggestions were. She clearly knows her stuff. ”

“ I reached out to Gigi for some quick help for a talk I was preparing. This isn’t something I do very often. I was having some amazing bouts of nerves as the day drew closer. We chatted for a while and Gigi asked a lot of great questions and made several suggestions, including “take a walk!” And that did the trick. Walking is my thing. On Gigi’s advice, I planned (and took) a big long walk at my favorite place in Seattle, Seward Park. Set the tone for the whole day and evening. No nerves! Thanks Gigi. ”

“ When I came to Gigi I had a lot of little ‘stories’ disorganized in bits and pieces and I struggled to get through them both because I was trying to remember the order and because it was boring. Gigi helped me separate my talk into three distinct sections, with a flashback to the beginning, and organized it in a clear, compelling, and surprising way. When I tell my story this way my listeners seem much more engaged and I don’t get bored telling it so my delivery is better. ”

“ Gigi observed me teaching at Portland State University, then we met for feedback. She gave multi-faceted observations and recommendations on content, body language, using tools (PowerPoint/whiteboards), storytelling. Since our coaching session her feedback on my storytelling is having a positive impact not only on my teaching but my daily interactions and even writing. ”

“ In just one hour of coaching with Gigi, I was well-informed about how to prepare physically, emotionally, and logistically for a successful presentation. Her supportive and insightful feedback about my style gave me clarity about my opportunities for improvement and confidence about my capacity to connect with an audience. ”

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Right out the door, you want to build a connection with your audience. Effective presentation coaching teaches you that opening with a story is a powerful and reliable way to accomplish this. The story or narrative format will have the audience caring about who you are, where you’re from, and why the subject material matters. Otherwise, our other advice is to PUNCH the audience.

Our training is based on proven performing arts techniques backed by the neuroscience of communication—and we teach you through experiential learning so you develop practical and applicable skills. And we don’t just offer presentation training in general. We believe that you make the best impression and the highest quality connections when you discover how to be yourself. People don’t connect with skill sets. People connect with people—especially unique individuals. When you know how to best be you, that’s when you can use presentation skills training to maximum effect.

There are really two goals and both are of equal importance: One, get your message across in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Two, get your audience to take action on what they hear. You can’t have one without the other. The audience won’t take action if they don’t understand. Clarity and motivation are your two goals.

An effective conclusion is not a mere recap of what you’ve covered. You’re trying to get people to take action, not just remember what you’ve said. Bluntly invite the audience to visit a website or make a purchase. Make the path to action clear. Display QR codes in your slides. A presentation trainer can give you expert advice for a phenomenal opening, middle, and close to any presentation. If you’re looking for some quick advice, then this blog is ideal for you.

Visual aids can help or hurt a presentation. Whether you are using PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, slides, video, a software interface, or other visual support, you need to make sure that the visuals won’t distract from the presentation. Many speakers have chosen abandon visual aids altogether and even proclaim that they are above using such tools. However, well-utilized visuals will significantly improve a presentation. This training will teach the best visual aid practices and offer the opportunity to practice techniques with individualized coaching feedback. Listeners will appreciate how the skillful use of visual aids truly enhances your presentations.

Speakers must prepare to answer real questions about their topic. Sometimes, listeners ask friendly, genuine questions, but often, you might be tasked with answering aggressive or set-up questions. In either case, the ability to handle even the most challenging question in a clear, comfortable, and competent manner is an important skill. Whether you have been called to answer questions at a congressional committee, in a sales meeting, or during a team presentation, this module will teach you how to hear and understand questions in order to respond with practical answers.

Have you ever wondered how some people always have the right thing to say at the right time? There is an art to handling yourself well in just about any setting—from dealing with an angry customer to holding a political debate or managing a contentious investor meeting.

Imagine yourself in front of the executive committee, the board of directors, the press, or a client, and someone requests that you speak on an unfamiliar topic. Perhaps you are asked a tough question that you hadn’t anticipated. What do you say? Thinking on your feet is a module that teaches you how to process and organize your thoughts quickly in a way that will help you communicate clearly and with confidence

What two words would you like people to say about you after you have left a meeting or a conversation? The answer defines your communication style. Style coaching is one of our most popular leadership and management offerings. It allows senior executives, managers, and emerging leaders to achieve their personal vision of how they wish to present themselves. Our coaches work with clients on their core communication skills, beginning with their two style words. The result is authentic, comfortable, and effective leadership or management capabilities.

Most crucial business communication occurs between leaders, managers, board members, and shareholders. Because Boards advise and direct management teams on key decisions, it is critical that leaders and managers clearly communicate the vision, metrics, and progress of the organization. Having worked with thousands of managers and board members, we have developed valuable insight into how relationships, presentations, handling questions, and more can affect your communication success. Whether you’re new to senior management or an old pro, this module will allow you to hone your Board and shareholder presentations and share your thoughts in a clear, concise manner. Our guidance will help you strengthen your relationships and effectiveness with your Board and shareholders.

Since the 1990s, coaching and mentoring have become widely used to develop employees in the business world and are important skills for anyone in a managerial or leadership role. Learn how to communicate in both coaching and mentoring styles while learning the differences between the two. Among other things, learn Socratic questioning, goal setting, skills in accountability, and ways to inspire that lead to complete development.

At times, speaking with coworkers, your staff, your boss, and, yes, your customers can be difficult. They may come to you with stories about their problems or your mistakes. They might even mistreat you. We need to remember that there are always two sides to every story. Learn how to diffuse difficult situations and become the difficult person’s advocate rather than the enemy.

When relationships are strong, you can communicate anything. When they are not strong, even the simplest feedback becomes difficult. This module provides an understanding of why and how strong relationships are created using our original research, which has unveiled the two most essential characteristics for building a solid working relationship. This module utilizes practice to strengthen the techniques and skills that foster trusting relationships.

Listening is not just about hearing—it involves the understanding and evaluation of what is heard. Whether you’re in a face-to-face meeting or talking on the phone, leaders and managers must exhibit comfort and proficiency in six specific areas of listening, or messages can be misunderstood. These qualities and techniques are the focus of this module. In addition, this module covers the top ten barriers to listening and how to overcome them. This is one of our most popular topics.

Have you ever felt that your listeners were confused? Have listeners ever asked you to get to the point? Truly connecting with your listeners is fundamental to all communication and critical for a successful presentation. This module teaches you how to make your point and engage all of your listeners. It does not provide a one-size-fits-all methodology but instead covers a whole range of skills from which you may choose the best approach for specific groups.

Business speaking requires a mixture of information and persuasion. Both are critical, and you use both in different situations and for various reasons. The distinction between these two types of speaking is that informative speaking lists data and impartially clarifies and enlightens with no particular goal other than making information clear. Persuasive speaking urges a partisan decision, favors a position, and tries to garner acceptance for that position. In many presentations, the speaker will use both information and persuasion in order to convince the listeners.

This training will help you understand the difference between informative and persuasive presentation. It teaches how to implement these concepts in your content and delivery and the three ways of persuasion that are used in virtually all presentations we see today. You’ll learn how to choose the proper mode of persuasion and how to match your message to your listeners.

Do your listeners ask you to repeat keywords? The ability to speak clearly is an important skill, no matter who you are. There are several ways to lose your listeners, but poor articulation, mumbling, and lack of volume are the most preventable. Don’t force listeners to work harder to understand the words coming out of your mouth! This module on communication excellence will teach key sounds and practice techniques to ensure that you are speaking clearly.

Your customers will often pay attention to how you sound as much as what you are saying. A positive interaction can depend on your tone and inflection, speed, and projection.

Plus, words matter! Your choice of words, such as “customers,” “clients,” “guests,” or “patrons,” will shape their perception, and perception shapes service communication. Don’t let your choice of words become a distraction during a customer interaction. This teaches participants the various sounds of service and how to master their sounds to best communicate with customers.

Presentation Coaching

Trusted by global brands & leaders, how can a presentation coach help you.

You really can’t escape presentations.

From monthly town halls and company events, to keynotes, roadshows, webinars and more, achieving success goes hand in hand with being an effective communicator.

But that’s actually good news. Because once you learn how to present so that people listen and see the real impact you can have, you’ll start looking forward to every presentation.

Presentation Coaching Types

Not all presentations are created equal. Depending on your needs and the types of events you want to prepare for, you can choose to get coached on different presentation styles and methods.

Company Event Presentation

Want to make sure that the presenters on your next company event are ready to put their best presenting foot forward?

Leading companies work with Clear Communication Academy’s coaches to reduce stress before their next corporate event and to create powerful agendas, comprising engaging speakers and presentations people will remember.

Ted Talk Coaching

Have you ever wondered what makes TED Talks so addictive and engaging? Speaking at TED can be a huge career move, but to stand out among all those great speakers that present at TED, you need to be able to tell an exciting, engaging story that people connect with.

Since TED talks are so specific, we developed a TED style coaching program, built to help you prepare and deliver a TED presentation that ticks all the boxes: from story and narrative, to vocal delivery, stage presence and audience interaction.

Conference Presentation

Get expert guidance in preparing your next keynote or guest presentation and learn effective techniques to take control of any live or virtual stage.

We’ll devise a personalized process to help you structure your narrative, calm your nerves and find your unique presentation style, so that by the time you’re standing in front of an audience you’ll be completely calm, confident, and ready to take listeners on a journey.

Personally public speaking can be difficult and intimidating. LaQuita Ann minimized these feelings and helped me overcome great odds so I could ultimately communicate my message successfully.

Not only does she work with you on performance but on the material. She becomes fully invested in you and your goal of effectively performing to the best of your ability. She is all in! In my case, I had never spoken for more than a couple hundred people in church or at film screenings.

I had to speak for thousands of extremely influential people at a YPO event and she prepared me emotionally, mentally and physically. I felt like I was able to achieve my best simply because she believed in me. I will never speak in public unless I prepare with LaQuita Ann!

...looking to raise capital and ensure potential investors see the full potential of their business

How Presentation Coaching Works

What are your initial skills and what are your strengths vs. weaknesses?

Your dedicated coach will create a personalized plan to attack those areas that are critical to YOUR success.

Prepare to turn your plan into action through proven exercises and skill-building activities.

Practice your presentation and receive actionable feedback, as well as tips and ideas on how to improve.

I have never considered myself a good presenter, but Laquita has the gift and knowledge of nudging you in the right direction while you are learning a lot. She does not give you the solution, but teaches you how to find it.This is why you raise the bar. I am looking forward to working with her to further progress in this journey.

I have been speaking professionally for years and LaQuita was able to improve almost every aspect of my talk, including clarity, delivery and timing. She’s wonderful at teaching how to pull the audience in and keep them engaged and is both honest and direct about what works and what doesn’t. Wholeheartedly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

LaQuita is a force of nature. She commands with such authority, cutting to the core. I had the privilege offing coached by her, truth is I feared her in the process because she’s the best and you don’t meet with the best.

Working with our coaches is fun…and it takes some effort.  But you’ll notice results quickly!

As part of our public speaking training and presentation coaching, we ask participants to prepare and deliver a short speech in front of their peers (or one-on-one with our coach)…and on camera.

The videos are then played-back for review and analysis to help the speaker see how he or she looks and sounds from the audience’s perspective.

Speaking styles, body language, and other areas for improvement are on clear display for review and analysis for our public speaking training and coaching. Our coaches are positive and affirmative, offering ideas, strategies, and techniques for improved delivery…in a positive and supporting style.
