EXECUTIVE COACHING | PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING

Personalized coaching to help you become more comfortable with public speaking. 

 
 

I’M LIKE A THERAPIST FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING.

I use a collaborative approach to find ways to make any communication situation feel more comfortable and natural. 

I CAN HELP WITH:

  • Presenting to a variety of audiences, including groups, meetings, and conferences

  • Interview Prep: media, press, podcast, and other interviews

  • Managing nerves, anxiety, or stage fright

  • Speaking confidently

  • Presentation development (The Deck)

  • Presentation skills (The Delivery)

  • Using storytelling for an impactful message

  • Thinking on your feet

 I can help you unlock your style and conquer your nerves. 

Let’s sharpen your skills so you can better connect with people and deliver meaningful presentations that leave a lasting impact! 

“I previously struggled with preparation, not knowing the right approach and wavering between trying to memorize versus talking organically. Now I feel very confident—I write out what I want to say, distill it into a tight outline, practice, refine, and practice again.”

Andrew Geant
Co-Founder & CEO, Wyzant, Inc.

A ‘dip your toes in’ coaching session starts at $250 for the Power Hour.

Get objective feedback on a single issue related to speaking or training. I can also provide quick support for an upcoming presentation you’re preparing for.

“During my first meeting with Marianna, she instantly tuned into my trepidations and called them out. Within our first few coaching sessions I began to gain confidence, better understand the source of my discomfort, and was able to address them. It was amazing!”

Comprehensive Lite

3 Sessions with 1 follow-up (20 m.) session

Three sessions of coaching that include a 30-minute diagnostic conversation prior to our initial coaching meeting to help me understand your goals and identify your best areas for growth and improvement. After each session, you’ll receive an unedited video for review. This will be an instrumental tool that will help you (outcome or result/s goes here).

The Comprehensive light plan does not include a comparison video, progress checks, or a final report. If you desire that level of premium support, you’ll want to explore a 6-session comprehensive coaching package (below).

Comprehensive Coaching

6 Sessions with 3 follow-up (20 m.) sessions

I enjoy getting to know my clients:

In our initial session, I’ll get to know you and learn about your concerns, environmental factors, and specific issues when it comes to speaking in public.

After that call, I’ll create a plan that includes conversation topics, insights, exercises, tools, and practices that will help you overcome your specific speaking challenges.

Our coaching appointments will be spaced 5-7 days apart to allow ample time for you to practice and integrate your new presenting skills.

I design all exercises and lessons to meet you where you’re at and help you make efficient progress toward your speaking and presenting goals.

At the half-way point in your 6-session coaching journey, we’ll have a progress check-in. It’s important to me that my clients understand and appreciate the progress they’re making. Investing in yourself takes courage, discipline, and persistence. I’ll make sure you see the results of your hard work and we’ll celebrate!

Why I might be the right public speaking coach for you:

Whether working with individual managers and executives, training teams in corporate settings, or facilitating group workshops, I’ve helped thousands of people develop the skills they need to feel calmer and more collected when presenting at the front of the room. In other words, this isn’t my first rodeo. My tools and exercises are time-tested and work.

What to expect during a coaching session:

We may do a variety of things—it depends on what you most need. Perhaps we’ll have a discussion where I share key insights with you or I may assign some on-your-feet practices, improv-based exercises, "‘skills drills’, or audio and/or video recording and playback (so we can debrief and create a gameplan for identified improvement points). You’ll leave each coaching call with assignments and exercises to work on until we meet again.

As your coach, I’m dedicated to helping you strengthen your ability to think and speak on your feet in a variety of high-pressure situations!

 

 

Your comprehensive coaching package is 100% confidential. It’s a place for you to work through your speaking vulnerability with expert care and support. It’s everything you need to really move the needle on your public speaking trepidation and includes written reports, progress check-ins, helpful recordings, kind feedback, transformative exercises, and a strategic plan to help you get the best outcomes for your situation as quickly as possible.

 “I have always been apprehensive of public speaking but found myself in a leadership position that requires me to do it regularly. Some of these tips have become part of my preparation routine and others are in my back pocket for when I need to speak under pressure. The fact that we were able to work using video conferencing gave me access to something that I would have had to travel to access.”
