Special Occasions
Do you need to say something of value
in a compelling way?
Perhaps you've been asked to present an award or you'll be receiving some form of recognition. You may be contributing remarks on a panel or asked to be a facilitator. Any of these public speaking situations can be stressful. Sometimes the stress comes from the fact you don't make presentations on a regular basis and now you're nervous about being in the spotlight. Even the most talented individual can be overwhelmed by daily pressures of professional and personal life, and may have fears and anxieties because of short lead time, soft information, unknowns about the audience and the physical site, and even media attention.
A Speech Coach can give you the skills to look like a pro!
Let me partner with you to un-complicate the situation, reduce your anxiety, choreograph your presentation from concept to delivery - even to selecting your wardrobe - so the occasion is one you remember with pride.
Since 1975, I have successfully coached hundreds of clients on a variety of special public speaking occasions, including:
a Harvard alumnus who was making a three minute introduction for a celebrity classmate at their 25th reunion,
a timid author who was appearing on talk shows across the country after unknowingly living with a serial killer,
a well-known basketball star who was terrified of giving an after-dinner speech,
a woman for a job interview to become the dean of a prominent business school,
- a prospective governor for a critical two-minute TV sound bite,
-
a reticent engineer making an acceptance speech for a national award,
-
and I co-wrote the eulogy and rehearsed an emotionally upset CEO for his best friend's funeral.
Whatever your special occasion presentation, coaching will ensure that when you step into the spotlight, you are the best you can be...

I'll customize a comfortable approach
that meets your presentation needs.

and family have been commenting on my evolved voice and presence. No
matter the outcome, I have already won - access to my true voice and
myself!" J. Cofield,

"Thank you for your classes on poetry performance. Your classes helped our writers learn to modulate their voices and to develop increased breath control, overcome limitations posed by non-traditional sites, as well as to deal with "performance anxiety," a common difficulty among writers and other artists who do much of their work in solitude."

"After a five year ministry in this congregation, people are saying " Rev. Tom, what's happened to you? Are you taking 'sermon pills?' Whatever it is, we love it!" Thank you Jan for helping me to become a more effective communicator."
