RESOURCESHelp yourself to this collection of articles, some of my own and others, that deal with common presentation questions like "Managing Q and A," "Controlling Nervousness," etc. And feel share to them—I simply ask that you keep my name on the ones I've written.
VOICE-OVERS AND ON CAMERA NARRATIONSAs part of my work as a communication consultant I've narrated and/or served as a script advisor on hundreds of narrations for a variety of corporate and non-profit clients. Here some sample of that work along with a couple mp3 demos. I work with many different producers and writers and use several different local studios for recording. Let me know about your project and I'll be happy to send you a quote.
"The human brain is amazing. It starts working the moment you are born and stops as soon as you get up to speak in public."
—Roscoe Drummond
Whether it's a keynote or welcoming address, a project update at a staff meeting, a proposal to the finance committee, a team interview for a large design or construction project, a sales demonstration, a museum tour… you name it, the person who can "connect" with the audience has it a lot easier. We all appreciate and often admire the person who is comfortable and effective speaking to a group.
So now it's your turn. Watch your skill and confidence with presentations (live, recorded, or online) grow through one of my workshops or individual coaching. (Literally watch, because I'll be taping you!) You'll learn to:
- Organize your presentation for clarity and coherence
- Reach your audience on an emotional not just intellectual level
- Get to the point!
- Find just the right word or phrase to convey an idea
- Discover the untapped power of your own voice
- Avoid "death by PowerPoint!" (and other visual aid traps)
- Control those nerves (but put that nervous energy to use)
- Handle difficult questions
- Make the complex understandable
- Manage a team interview or moderate a panel discussion smoothly
- Figure out what may be holding you back so you can tame the beast!
We hired Paul when we realized that we needed a fresh approach to our interview planning. He encouraged us to think through stories and images that really address interviewers' concerns, resulting in livelier, more engaging and successful interviews.—Alan Kuniholm, PDT Architects
Since our first meeting with Paul…we have completely remodeled our school interviews from scratch. They are much more lively, informative, relevant, and competitive. That's a huge achievement in six months. I'd like to keep training more staff members so we don’t lose the momentum.—Susan Ransom, Marketing Director, PDT Architects
Paul…your workshop was great—fun, engaging and instructive. We'll look into doing a longer session next time, as several people suggested—and arrange for some individual coaching.—Kate Ferenczy, Marketing Specialist, DiCicco, Gulman & Company LLP
