Finally, you can breathe easy before the big event.

Whether you're addressing your boss's boss, your new client, your investors or a board of Japanese executives - your ability to connect powerfully with your target audience will be guaranteed thanks to Liz's unique three-step approach to critical presentation coaching.

1. "Weakness to strength" development: Liz is uniquely skilled at helping you find your areas of communication strength (e.g. writing) and working with you to develop personal strategies and systems to help you leverage your strengths into other effective forms of communication. Oftentimes what's missing is simply an understanding of how to structure your thoughts and ideas. Liz leaves you with models and mental checklists that you can use to prepare crisp and concise presentations. Finally, because authenticity is one of the central characteristics of good communicators, Liz shows you how to get your message across while also expressing your unique personality and flair. This will not only keep listeners engaged and interested in what's being said, but it will help you become a more effective manager and increase your confidence in your communication skills.
2. Listener visualization exercises: The most important factors in communication are the listeners. Who are they? What do they want to achieve? How do they like to be addressed? What do they think of you as the communicator? What if you have to explain a project to a non-native employee or client? Would you have the wherewithal and skills to adapt your body language and message to communicate the point? What if you're asked to speak to a board of executives or potential investors? Do you understand their unique needs for receiving information?
    
   As important as these questions are, very few coaches take as much time as Liz does to help you formulate definite answers, so you are better able to analyze and visualize your listeners before addressing them. You will learn how they think, what they expect, and how to deliver the message to them. Of all the skills Liz focuses on developing, many of her clients have said that this area helped them the most - in preparing their message and delivery and helping them to eliminate their anxieties and jitters.
3. Developing your executive image: Good communication is only one side of the equation. To achieve true effectiveness and confidence as a manager and leader, you also must know how to look and act the part. As an added value, Liz will asses your current professional dress, body language, and physical demeanor. She will show you posture techniques that will give you strength when addressing groups. She will help you identify the "visual message" you are sending people before you even open your mouth as well as how these messages are colliding with your words and limiting their effect. The result creates a "total package" of communication, image, and business etiquette skills that you and your company can be proud of.
