“ Nobody helps you get the results you want as quickly as Lisa. I’ve seen her in action with executives, engineers, scientists and salespeople. I’ve had the pleasure of having her as my coach. Her supportive, specific feedback is always spot-on and you’ll enjoy the time you spend together. ”

As the executive producer and host of award-winning public radio shows, as a manager dedicated to efficient collaboration, and as a presentation skills coach for Fortune 500 executives and thought leaders, I’ve spent the last 15 years helping people express themselves clearly and communicate effectively with each other to advance their organizations and their careers. I look forward to finding out how I can be of assistance to you.
I enjoy helping clients figure out what the people they’re speaking with want, how what they have to say meets those criteria, and how to explain that connection in language those people can understand. Workshop participants describe my training style as supportive and entertaining.

One-On-One Presentation Coaching
Do you want your or your team to be totally prepared for high-stakes presentations in record time?
I focus on helping you communicate your message with confidence and clarity — to the executive suite, your colleagues, your direct reports, the media and the public. You’ll be amazed at how quickly I can help you craft a compelling presentation and how you’ll be able to apply these strategies to all your presentations. Clients appreciate the speed with which I grasp technical topics and the warm, straightforward way I deliver feedback. You’ll walk into the most high-stakes presentations of your career feeling totally prepared.
I can work with you on:
- A one-time, high-stakes presentation such as an all-hands meeting, a VC pitch, an investor meeting or a conference,
- An ongoing basis, identifying your communication challenges and giving you practical strategies for overcoming them
I’ve done this for:
- The head of finance for a multimillion dollar pharmaceutical drug pipeline,
- The executive director of a national educational reform movement
- The president of a major social media company
- The CEO of a major financial services company
- Vice presidents, directors, individual contributors, scientists, engineers and programmers throughout the United States, Europe and Asia
Team Presentation Coaching
The Challenge
Your company is a finalist for a lucrative contract. The customer doesn’t want to meet with your sales team or upper level management. Instead, they want a group presentation from the people on your Professional Services team — the people who would actually be doing the work. Unfortunately, these professionals and subject matter experts are not always strong presenters. They have a tendency to go into too much detail that doesn’t address the customer’s needs. Perhaps they read from slides and fidget.
How can your people convey the confidence, mastery and customer service orientation they bring to their work so that you land the contract?
The Solution
I’ll work with your team to identify what the customer wants and needs, determine content flow, assign roles and shape compelling stories and data points that make the case for choosing your company in clear language that the customer will understand. Then we’ll rehearse the entire presentation including question handling.
Here’s what my clients in the technology, construction, foodservice, consulting and energy sectors say:
“ Lisa didn’t have a chance to get an introduction from us or clear directions. But she got what we were trying to do and what we needed from her. She used the time effectively. ”
“ Lisa provided a lot of value. The fact that she was someone from outside our organization made everyone take the practice seriously. ”
“ Lisa took initiative and identified individuals who needed personalized coaching. She jumped right in and did that. She was respectful but direct. ”
