For Organizations
We highlight tools and demonstrate skills.
We work with teams in Sales, Executive Leadership, Management, Customer Service, Development and Fundraising, Public Relations and Education. We believe in learning by doing which means we work primarily with small groups where we identify tools, tear down myths and open doors that streamline sales, command attention, improve clarity, provoke interest and underscore expertise — all while doing a little entertaining.
We are a rapid-response team for organizations who want to capitalize on the power of human communication.
Our Workshops are ideally suited for the modern business environment where everyone has the responsibility of being a spokesperson for a brand. Whether presenting in a boardroom, on stage or one-on-one, our StandOut Workshops help people present with purpose and passion.
For Individuals
Every employee wants to command attention and respect.
And there is no better way to do that than to communicate one’s expertise with confidence. Whether you’re educating or explaining, persuading or pitching, most people who assume the responsibility for presenting have expertise, but in some way lack a little confidence. Some might be a little timid, others might have genuine anxiety about even one-on-one or small group engagements. Our StandOut Workshops dramatically reduce these fundamental issues. We help people turn their competence into confidence.
Understand your audience like never before
Each audience is unique, but in most situations where you are “presenting” your audience wants you to succeed, not fail. You will learn to see audience as fans, not critics. Participants will learn to see their audience from a completely different perspective — one that doesn’t just reduce fears, but increases optimism and confidence. We pack a lot into each session and our track record for immediate skill development is best described by participants in their own words.
