Our Methodology

Language
We clarify your messaging to ensure clarity and consistency, replacing jargon, deleting redundancies, strengthening metaphors and analogies, and keeping examples relatable. Memorable data, poignant talking points, and the right balance of humor and pathos will ensure your audience connection.
Deck
We have watched and revised hundreds of decks. Common errors and oversights diminish a pitch, so we help you prepare the best possible slide order and present all the information. Unsure of font size, word count, or story flow? We’ve got you covered.
Once the content is in place, we work on performance.
Personality
If your material doesn’t feel natural to you, it won’t feel comfortable to your audience. We work with you to hone the language, then add in any missing authentic elements (humor, intrigue, excitement, surprise) that will make your personal material more compelling.
How we present ourselves to our audience can make or break an introduction and leave a lasting impression. We work with you on ettiquete and best practices until you feel natural, comfortable, and confident in front of an audience of one — or 1 million.
Body Language
Tonality
Vocal pitch and inflection affect your meaning as well as audience reception: we’ll make sure your tone reflects your intention.
Pacing
The speed at which we speak, especially for non-native English speakers, greatly impacts audience comprehension. We’ll find you a pace that feels natural, matches the “energy” of the presentation, and articulates your language.
There will be certain things you will want to memorize word for word, but usually you simply need to know your talking points. We help you work through common pitfalls and unique challenges to give you confidence.
Memorization
Preparation
Will you need to transition your own slides? Will you be using a microphone? Can you crowd walk or will you be at a podium or in a chair? Whatever the circumstance, we’ll ensure you’re as comfortable as possible on presentation day.
