Private Presentation Intensive

Private 1:1 preparation for the presentation that matters.

You have an important presentation coming up.

A keynote. An executive presentation. A conference talk. A presentation where you know how you show up matters.

You know your subject.

You know you have something valuable to say.

But knowing your material and communicating it powerfully in front of an audience are two very different things.

Because once all eyes are on you, you may start overthinking.

You rush.

You become too dependent on your notes or slides.

You lose your train of thought.

You focus so much on remembering what you're supposed to say that you stop connecting with the people you're saying it to.

And suddenly, you don't sound like the knowledgeable, accomplished professional you actually are.

That's the problem we'll solve inside the Private Presentation Intensive.

This is focused, personalized 1:1 preparation for professionals who have an important presentation coming up and want expert support getting ready for it.

We'll work on the presentation itself, how you communicate it, and what happens internally when the pressure is on, so you can walk into the room prepared to connect, communicate, and lead.

Your presentation should sound like a conversation between you and your audience, not a script you've memorized.

One of the biggest mistakes I see smart, accomplished professionals make before an important presentation is trying to prepare their way out of anxiety.

They memorize more.

Rehearse the same sentences over and over.

Try to perfect every word.

And put enormous pressure on themselves to "get it right."

But the more they try to perform the presentation perfectly, the more pressure they create.

I teach a very different approach.

Public speaking is a conversation.

Even when you're standing on a stage in front of hundreds of people.

When you stop trying to perform at your audience and learn how to communicate with them, everything begins to change.

Your presentation becomes easier to remember.

Your delivery becomes more natural.

Your audience feels more connected to you.

And instead of spending the entire presentation stuck inside your head wondering how you're doing, you can focus on the people you're there to serve.

What We'll Work On

Over three private sessions, we'll prepare you for your specific presentation.

Depending on what you need, we'll work together to:

Clarify the core message you want your audience to remember
Identify what your specific audience needs to hear, understand, feel, or do
Strengthen the structure and flow of your presentation
Make your presentation more engaging, memorable, and conversational
Strengthen your opening, transitions, stories, examples, and close
Simplify your preparation so you're not trying to memorize every word
Rehearse strategically without reinforcing anxiety
Improve your delivery, presence, pacing, and audience connection
Prepare mentally for the pressure of the actual presentation
Work through the specific moments that make you nervous
Help you recover confidently if you lose your train of thought or something unexpected happens

This isn't about turning you into someone else on stage.

It's about making sure the audience gets to experience the knowledgeable, capable professional who is already there.

What’s Included

- Three private 60-minute coaching sessions

We'll use these sessions strategically to craft, refine, rehearse, and prepare for your upcoming presentation.

- Personalized email support between sessions

Questions often come up while you're preparing and practicing. You'll be able to reach out between our sessions so you don't have to wait until our next call.

- One 15-minute post-presentation recap

After your presentation, we'll reconnect briefly to talk through what worked, what you noticed, and what you want to carry forward into your next speaking opportunity.

This Intensive Is For You If...

You have a specific presentation coming up and you're thinking:

"I know this material. I just want to make sure I communicate it as powerfully as I know I can."

You may be preparing for:

A keynote or conference presentation
An important executive or leadership presentation
A high-stakes client presentation or pitch
An industry presentation
A major internal company presentation
Another important speaking opportunity where how you show up matters

You don't need another list of generic presentation tips.

You need someone who can look at your presentation, your audience, your challenges, and the way you communicate and help you prepare for the moment that's actually in front of you.

That's exactly what we'll do.

A Focused Intensive, Not a Public Speaking Program

The Private Presentation Intensive is specifically designed to prepare you for one upcoming presentation.

It does not include the Brilliant Speakers Academy® curriculum or the complete Anxiety-to-Authority™ framework.

If your goal is to fundamentally transform your relationship with public speaking, build unshakable speaking confidence across different speaking situations, and develop your broader speaking skills for the long term, Brilliant Speakers Academy® is my comprehensive coaching program for that work.

This intensive has a different purpose.

We have a presentation to prepare for.

And our job is to make sure you're ready for it.
