Yes. Many of our corporate engagements begin with a request for a single presentation skills or leadership communication course.
Before recommending a format, we explore whether the requirement is isolated to one group or reflects a wider challenge affecting managers, senior leaders, sales teams, client conversations or the communication of strategy across the organisation.
Where the need is focused, we will recommend a targeted course. Where there is wider potential, we may suggest starting with a carefully selected pilot group, measuring the results and then replicating the most effective elements across other teams or leadership levels.
This allows organisations to start at an appropriate level, prove impact and scale only where there is a clear commercial and organisational case.
At Public Speaking Academy we also offer acclerated coaching – a form of intense exceptional level coaching at C-suite level. Often condensing years of coaching into a number of months, weeks or even a handful of intensive days.
