Presentation Skills Coaching

Engage your passion - engage your audience.

Our coaching sessions will ensure that you develop a stronger relationship and deliver a clearer message. We will work with you to craft your presentation, manage anxiety, organize your visual aids and we'll rehearse, rehearse, rehearse and rehearse.

Some recent testimonials from Presentation Coaching clients:

“It was Ian's focus on making gains in our personal style that had the most impact. I also really liked that Ian modeled what he taught: he provided us with a very clear example of what an effective presenter does (while maintaining his role as coach and supporter). Without hesitation, I would recommend Ian's talents and his workshop to those who want a valuable opportunity to deliver ‘engaged and energized’ presentations.”

"Over the past 15 years, I have had the pleasure of participating in workshops facilitated by Essential Communications. Most recently, they coached me on my presentation skills. Each time I work with Essential, it feels refreshing and new. The sessions always remind me of who I am and the possibilities of all I can be - something I can easily forget as I get caught up in day to day activities. I always left sessions feeling exhilarated and creative!"

"Ian taught me to relate to my audience on a professional and dialectic level, to develop a two-way relationship with them; to have a conversation with them, not to lecture at them. Ian helped me to unlearn a great many previously taught "communications techniques" and to focus on developing my own person style. Equally important over our sessions together, he taught me how to refine (read: clarify and minimize) the message in my PowerPoint slides so that the audience could focus on me and my key message."
