As an executive coach, I improve leadership skills in persuasion, professional presence and coach executives on new business pitches, road shows and presentations using emotional intelligence and behavioral techniques. Private-client training for Professional Presence, Sales, Presentation & Media Training My popular “Expert Influence™” training program teaches sales reps, SMEs and C-Suite executives how to improve executive presence and communicate effectively in board rooms, business meetings, at networking events and on video.
