Team Training & Workshops
Introductory workshop (60-90 minutes, virtual or live )
What if your team could acquire —in an hour— a toolkit enabling them to competently prepare for any kind of meeting or presentation? Instead of getting nervous, procrastinating, and presenting unprofessionally, they will gain a simple, foolproof method that will empower them to speak with purpose, focus, and confidence. Give them the gift of improved communication with a primer on the ancient art of effective speech. John’s humor will be a welcome break from the workday. His easily absorbed, practical techniques will be immediately useful for every participant.
Intermediate / advanced custom workshops (Level One, Level Two, Custom)
Your organization’s success depends on clear, effective, engaging communication, both internally and externally. Has your team ever been trained in basic communication techniques? If not, the ROI on even a few hours of presentation skills is transformative. Imagine shorter, more focused internal meetings and more persuasive, professional client interactions. Help your team distill and deliver your message effectively and consistently with a fail-safe preparation method for every context.
Return on Time
How much time are you wasting in meetings? Let us count the ways —literally. Return on Time optimizes team-wide meeting habits on two levels. First, teams reporting to top decison-makers are trained to report more efficiently in the manner required by each manager. Managers gain time and bandwidth for better decision-making, direct reports gain confidence their input will be valued. Next, general workplace meeting habits are evaluated for waste: scheduling, organization, planning, attendance, preparation, and individual presentation styles are all ripe for optimization. Cut 20-30% of your meeting time.
Speech & presentation crisis hotline
Every organization has crises, contingencies, last-minute deadlines, nervous presenters, and team members who save presentation preparation till the last minute.
Offer your team access to a presentation expert available to step in at a moment’s notice —with no paperwork or admin hassle— to lend support with writing, visual design, coaching, and rehearsal to prepare and represent your organization professionally for that next big pitch, presentation, panel, conference, or important meeting that’s too critical to flub.
Imagine two teams or companies, equally smart, skilled, experienced, and hardworking. One communicates very well; the other communicates poorly. Play this out over dozens and hundreds of meetings, and it’s easy to see how a few hours of speech coaching can be transformative. When your team explains their ideas and proposals (internally and externally) in ways that are easy to understand, meetings are faster, better, more engaging. Clients understand you, adopt your ideas more frequently, and are eager to take a next meeting.Your team feels more engaged and satisfied.
