90 minutes of focused, one-on-one coaching to sharpen your message, refine your delivery, and make sure your next presentation does what it's supposed to do.
You've been asked to present — to the board, at a conference, or to a room full of people who matter. The deck is done. But when you rehearse it out loud, something feels off. The transitions are clunky. The opening is flat. You're not sure how to land the close. And the clock is ticking.
You keep tweaking slides instead of rehearsing out loud. You're polishing the deck when you should be polishing the delivery.
You know the content cold — but standing in front of a room, you second-guess your pacing, your eye contact, your energy. Competence doesn't automatically translate to presence.
A mediocre presentation doesn't just fail to impress — it actively costs you. People form opinions fast. You don't get that 20 minutes back.
Most people "practice" by reading their slides out loud. That's not preparation — that's repetition. In a Presentation Prep Session, we rebuild your talk from the audience's perspective: what they need to hear, when they need to hear it, and how you need to deliver it so it sticks.
I bring 20 years of coaching and a Dale Carnegie Master Trainer certification to every session — and I've prepped leaders for stages, boardrooms, and camera lenses of every size.
Before we meet, you send me your slides, your context, and your goals. Who's the audience? What's the ask? What does success look like? I review everything so we hit the ground running.
We restructure the narrative arc if needed, tighten your opening and close, coach your delivery in real time — pacing, pauses, energy, movement — and do targeted run-throughs of the sections that matter most.
Within 24 hours, you receive a written summary of coaching notes — what to keep doing, what to adjust, and a final checklist to review before you go live.
Not just a rehearsed talk. A sharper message, a coached delivery, and the confidence that comes from knowing you're fully prepared.

"It is very hands on, but not a curriculum. It is just very much about you and how you communicate and how he brings out the best way for you to communicate to your audience as being authentically you."
— Rob Cherry, CEO, Partner4Work
"I was given confidence in how to speak better. I found ways to analyze my own speaking so that I could better communicate my story to my audience and be a more compelling speaker."
— Alexandra Biedka, PNC Bank

This isn't a public speaking class. It's not a slide design service. And it's not for someone who wants to be told "you're doing great" without real feedback. This is for leaders who have a specific presentation coming up and want to walk in fully prepared — not hoping it goes well, but knowing it will.
You already know which presentation you're thinking about. The one you've been mentally rehearsing in the shower. The difference between preparing alone and preparing with someone who has coached thousands of presentations is the difference between hoping you're ready and knowing you are.
I review your materials before we meet.
You won't spend our 90 minutes giving me background. I arrive prepared.
You'll leave with a rehearsed, restructured talk.
Not vague feedback — a tightened narrative and coached delivery.
You get written coaching notes within 24 hours.
A reference doc to use right up until showtime.

Your Prep Session investment credits toward any coaching retainer within 30 days. Zero risk.
Ideally 1–2 weeks before your presentation. That gives time for the intake, our session, and practice reps. Tight timelines can be accommodated.
Both. Most sessions are virtual for speed and convenience. In-person sessions are available in the Pittsburgh area.
That's fine. Many sessions are for internal leadership updates, team rollouts, or client-facing pitches. If you're standing up in front of people (or a camera), this applies.
Absolutely. Many clients expense this as professional development. I can provide an invoice for your organization.
90 minutes. One talk. Total confidence.
