My main thrust working with clients is to help them transform into exceptional speakers, with credibility and without having to come up with a whole new stage-persona.

I offer guidance in presentation skills: putting together the presentation bells and whistles (such as PowerPoint) so that they help you hold the audience's attention, rather than distract.

Individual coaching & critique
Practice sessions
Video recording, critique and coaching (including Skype)
Groups: You and colleagues

Group seminars (learning focused/lecture)

Group workshops (exercise focused)
                Teaching group members how to observe, assess and critique as they practice with each other (without me)

Additional people-skills seminars and workshops

Geographically, I mainly conduct in-person coaching and seminars in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area and a little beyond. I am located in Martinez, California, but regularly travel to San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Jose and south to Monterey, north to Petaluma and even as far south/east as Fresno.

I do travel much further to client sites for seminars and especially for corporate and college lectures.

I conduct distance coaching and training via Skype.
