Presentation Skills, Media Training, and Job Interviewing, Training and Coaching Options

ALCHEMY offers 4 training options: Onsite, Online, Telephone, and Pre-recorded Video Critiques.

Onsite
One-on-One Training

  • Whether you’re a business professional or academic, ALCHEMY can help you overcome your fear of speaking in public. You’ll receive specific feedback and strategies to help you prepare for your next presentation or interview or gain the confidence to answer questions and contribute during meetings or networking events.
  • We can work at your location or at my office (in Beacon, NY). I’ll provide the camera to record the presentation or interview, which you can easily download to your computer for later viewing.

Large or Small Group Workshops and Trainings

  • For businesses and organizations looking to deliver high quality training, ALCHEMY can provide half-day and full-day formats built around education days or retreats.
  • Because every company has its own culture, expectations, and presentation style, ALCHEMY will work with you to tailor the workshop or training to address your company’s specific issues.

Online

  • Online coaching and training is generally done one-on-one. In some cases, small groups can be accommodated using web conferencing.
  • If we’re working online, you must have Skype with a webcam and a headset or microphone. That way, you’ll be free to stand up, move around, and deliver your talk in as realistic a way possible.
  • In addition, if you have a written script or other documents, I’ll have you email them to me so I can share them on my desktop. That way, after your presentation we can make notes together on strategies to enhance your performance.

Telephone

  • If we’re working via phone, you’ll need a headset or be prepared to use speakerphone. That way, you’ll be free to stand up, move around, and deliver your talk in as realistic a way possible.
  • You’ll also want to be near your computer. If you have a written script or other documents, I’ll have you email them to me before our session so I can share them on my desktop. Then, after your presentation, you’ll go to your computer and we can make notes together on strategies to enhance your performance.

Pre-recorded Video Critiques

  • If you’ve already recorded a presentation or interview, simply go to my website and click on the “SendThisFile” button at the bottom of my homepage. It only takes a few steps to send me your file (in any format), at no charge to you.
  • Then, you have 2 options:
    • You can choose to schedule a coaching session during which I’ll review your presentation and give detailed feedback.
    • Or, you can choose to receive a 500 word critique that will address issues of content, vocal image, body language, and overall delivery effectiveness, and offer specific techniques and strategies for improving your performance.
