Do you suffer from gloss phobia? You're not alone. Gloss phobia is the fear of public speaking, and most people are more afraid of speaking publicly than they are of heights, snakes or even death! Reality, however, tells us that if you are an effective communicator, you will be more respected. You have probably been captive to the ineffective speaker at least once in your life. If so, then you know how painful that can be. Let us help you make sure that you are not "that kind" of presenter.

We understand that public speaking is in and of itself a challenge, so our tactic is not to put more pressure on you by putting you on the spot, but instead to help you polish your skills through pointed and realistic feedback. First, you will be asked to make your presentation to your presentation coach. Then, you will work with your coach to refine your message, polish your supporting materials and add just the right amount of audience involvement. You will present your redesigned presentation during which you will be given more challenges from your "audience" coach. Next, you will review a videotape of the presentation with your coach, make any needed changes and present again until you and your coach are happy that you have it just right. At the end of the day, you will have the knowledge, skills and confidence to get your message across.
