ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

Clients work with me in a number of ways. Many clients CONTACT ME with an urgent need to prepare for an upcoming presentation. I get a lot of calls that go something like…

NEW CLIENT: “Hi, I have a really important presentation coming up in the very near future, and I need to be brilliant, but quite frankly I’m pretty nervous about it and I heard you could really help me.” [They typically blurt this out pretty quickly]

NAN: “I can. I’m glad you called. [I say, in a remarkably reassuring tone] Tell me more.”

In almost all of my presentations coaching work we focus on how to:

identify your key messages and the examples & stories that bring them to life.
craft the arc of your performance so it inspires your audience to take action.
uncover the unconscious habits that can undermine your authority.
hone your content & a powerful, authentic delivery.
embody your message with energy & passion.
