Prepare for a Ted-style presentation or speech in English

So you need to make a presentation or give a speech? No problem. For 10 years, I've worked in the private sector helping executives and managers organize their presentation, incorporate storytelling to keep the audience engaged, and deliver with confidence.

Together, we will:
- Identify a presentation style you feel comfortable with
- Discuss your audience
- Draft a presentation
- Review presentation skills (where to stand, what to do with your hands)
- Rehearse until you're ready
- Evaluate your presentation and lessons learned for next time

I have 20+ years experience in marketing and communications at Fortune 500 corporate companies, start-ups, non-profits, and government. I spent 10 years writing and preparing executives for speeches given internally and externally, at companies where they serve on the board, and at conferences with their peers. I am also a TOEFL certified English instructor and have volunteered at an English school for immigrants in the US.
