Any time you engage with an audience, from one to hundreds, you have the ability to move people to action. You can influence positive change in them—what they think, feel, believe and do. That’s powerful, and a great responsibility.
The Presentation Skills Workshop can be of great help to you in developing the content of your messages and most importantly, how you deliver your content. It’s different from other large group offerings that either lecture at you or put you through so many exercises that you don’t get to focus on specific, definable next steps for what you are working on at that moment. Small class sizes ensure energized focus and allow you time to practice in a safe setting.
My experience as presentation coach for leaders, observation of hundreds of leading executives as a professional briefing facilitator, and my background in teaching acting with a specialty in movement for actors provides you with the opportunity to take specific, actionable steps to your ultimate performance.
Thank you so much for the the time you contributed to plan and execute a great training event. Your ability to be authentic and provide actionable coaching was so well received the crew is already asking me when we can work with you again!

Where would you like to grow?
The goal of each workshop is for you to be better than you were before, while honoring and leveraging your unique style. It’s presentation skills at whole new level, with actionable feedback for you as performer on your business stage. It’s about your critical roles— challenged, stretched, reinvigorated.
As your coach and guide, I’ll provide supportive, actionable feedback that focuses on what you want to work on. The workshop structure depends on the level of participants, but for your planning, a sample list of Presentation Skills Workshop activities may include:
- Warm-Up – improvisation exercise to get your creativity and energy flowing
- 4-A Way of Communicating overview – a framework you can leverage for shaping your energy and message
- 1st “performance” – you as Actor, in front of your Audience, practicing your Action-enabled content. Video recording for group or individual discovery.
- Actionable Feedback – encouraging, actionable input from me on your success, and what you might consider changing for the next time
- 2nd performance – delivery of your content with at least one thing you want to work on from the feedback session. Be ready for stop/ start side-coaching from Corey to get to your best!
- Action Planning – time for outlining your Action plan for continuing performance excellence
Improv exercises and added performance opportunities are possible depending on the participants and time allowed. The Presentation Skills Workshop is creatively structured to go where you need to go in a safe environment for presentation practice.
