Public Speaking
Presentation skills, both in-person and over video call, are as necessary as ever — most are unaware of how they are being perceived. Many more are fear-ridden about stepping into the preverbal spotlight. If you’re want to hold more authority and charisma when you speak. If you’re insecure about body language or lighting, listless audiences, uninspired speeches, cranky room raters, performance anxiety, microphones, or mute buttons. Don’t worry, we are here to give you the tools and insight that make you a compelling communicator. Pro Presence has seen hundreds of meetings, pitches, and presentations, physical and virtual, good, bad, and awkward. Whatever you’re preparing, be it a virtual event, video sales call, or face to face, whether it’s for a single event or a systemic change we’ll get you through it and, with a little rehearsal, you’ll present like a pro.
Our Approach includes Strategy | Development | Personalization | Preparation | Polish
Our method is tailored to the type of public speaking for which we are preparing you. Acting on-camera is different than acting on stage and preparing a virtual pitch is different than working the room at a networking event. We adjust this nuance to bring you maximum impact for any type of presentation, be it in person or on-camera.
Presentation Training
We work with you to perfect your live or video presentation; together, we’ll clarify your message with structure and intention, remove repetition and jargon, making your material confident and natural.
Panelist and Interview Coaching
A panelist wants to stand out and provide memorable insight, so we’ll work on targeted talking points, ways of differentiating yourself from the pack, and how to connect with your fellow panelists and audience — even over Zoom. We’ll practice microphone technique, camera etiquette, and question response, so you hold your own among the other experts.
Keynote Speaker
Whether you’re delivering it in person or virtually, your keynote address must land. We work with you to clarify your message, make salient points, personalize your speech, remove industry jargon, and demonstrate composure and poise. We match your tone and pacing to your intent and dial in your body language to ensure your keynote is memorable and inspiring.
Professional Presence
Presence is a combination of grace, rich inner life, and balanced composure. We work with you to bring flow and fluidity to your movement and mannerisms. Eliminate doublespeak and filler words from your vocabulary, and help you lead with decisiveness, authority, and empathy. We work on tone and active listening. And yep, as a part of any true professional polish, we even go over your wardrobe, grooming, and public presentation.
Networking
We provide best practices, as well as tips and tricks to create impactful interactions and help your network flourish. From being present and actively listening to striking up engagement, we’ll polish your posture, body language, and tone to produce a charismatic networker capable of working the room — or the screen.
