PRESENTATIONS PLUS
Are stand-up presentation skills integral to the success of your associates and your business? The same skill sets essential to the foundation of successful presentations happen to be vital in refining the basics of impactful and powerfully influential communication.  These skills are the primal skills of Emotional Intelligence.

Everyday use and awareness of primal practices is one of the simple keys for transcending fear of public speaking, and enhancing flexibility and skill for leadership effectiveness. 

My carefully structured, highly interactive programs deeply instill effective core behaviors and provide immediate opportunities for application and practice.

I produce dynamic changes, fast, with the use of acting technique and "body-centered"- holistic practices applied to standard business formats. Using interaction and intuition, I design intensive skill stretches specific to each participant producing powerful, lasting changes that reveal personal potential and talent.

!/2 day, one, two and three day formats.  Individual coaching.  On-line, and video exchange by U.S. Mail,  private coaching available - contact us for information.

His ability to teach the proper nuances of projection, body language, delivery, inflection, cadence, and most importantly - confidence - is the best I’ve ever seen.
Paul Marcus, Manager of Communications, Pepsico

You managed to be both entertaining and informative in your talk. Especially effective was the segment of your presentation in which you incorporated the audience into the act. I hope District One Toastmasters will get a chance to see and hear you again in the near future.
Philip L. Taylor, DTM, District One Governor Toastmaster's

The evaluations reflected that the entire audience enjoyed your presentation and rated it very high on the "value" scale. You maximized every minute and made it not only interesting but used your own principles and made it interactively fun at the same time...
