One-on-One Coaching with Gigi Rosenberg

Presentation Coaching

In just one hour of coaching with Gigi, I was well-informed about how to prepare physically, emotionally, and logistically for a successful presentation. Her supportive and insightful feedback about my style gave me clarity about my opportunities for improvement and confidence about my capacity to connect with an audience.

You can make presentations where the audience leans in, engaged and even entertained. Gigi Rosenberg can teach you how. Whether the audience is one client, a small group, or a packed auditorium, you’ll build on your natural skills to create a presentation delivered with clarity and ease.

In one-on-one working sessions, you’ll rehearse and finesse your next presentation or speech. Our goal? A presentation delivered with a clear call to action and a message that your audience remembers long after they walk out the door.

You’ll learn to:

• write for the spoken voice
• communicate with images
• add appropriate drama
• foster your own sense of calm

For technical experts presenting to a lay audience, you’ll learn to create presentations in understandable language that doesn’t “dumb down” the concepts.

Gigi has worked with a diversity of clients, from introverted professors making the move from teaching to speech-making, to marketing V.P.’s preparing for a high-stakes presentation, to visual artists unaccustomed to talking about their work, to teams in corporate America needing to communicate with grace and authority during a meeting.

For organizations, Gigi teaches these skills in customized, hands-on workshops.

Do you have a presentation looming that you’d like to deliver with confidence and ease? Contact Gigi by email or call her at 503.771.0400 to schedule an appointment.

Meeting with Gigi was exactly what I needed to keep my momentum going. Together, we came up with a course of action that I could implement immediately. She helped me key into opportunities that I couldn’t see but were just within reach. I consider my session with her an invaluable investment in my business as an artist.
