A Specialist and Consultant in Public Communication
Consultation work is always adapted to suit the needs of my clients. The most common format involves:
- a period of instruction on communication techniques [often in the morning session].
- a break [often a lunch break]
- Preparation for public presentation performance
- Performance of the presentation [usually 5-10 minutes per person]
- Feedback [group and individual]
This five step process can last anywhere from one hour to eight-hours. I have equipped hundreds of individuals to communicate better. I draw upon my experiences training national champions in speech and debate at the collegiate level alongside the insights I have gained from hundreds of hours working in the private sector.
Please contact me with your questions or needs and see if I can help you and your organization.
