Private Coaching

Faith Pincus and her associates are available for in-person coaching engagements across the country and internationally. Ongoing and follow-up coaching via phone, email and video-conferencing is also available.

Private, individual coaching sessions run 1.5 to 2 hours each and we recommend a minimum of three sessions to prepare for a specific presentation.  Retainer agreements are availble for long-term communication skills training, message creation and multiple staff training needs.

Private coaching will enhance your skills and take you to the next level of public speaking.  It is especially recommended when you want to prepare for a specific presentation. You or your team members will work with Faith on content, organization and delivery; she will help ensure you or your team members meet the needs of your audience and will work on your image and presence as well.

One-on-one coaching is also provided in small-group training sessions. These typically run four to eight hours and may cover a two day period to allow the participants to digest what they have learned, revise and revamp their presentations, and return for additional rounds of performance and coaching. These sessions may have a maximum of eight people per group.

Our presentations and coaching programs are customized to fit your needs and include:

• Training sessions to suit any level of experience
• Targeted sessions to prepare for specific speaking events
• Videotaping techniques to hone skills and eliminate problems
• Evaluation of prior performances
• Attendance at client speeches, trials, or oral arguments, with valuable post-presentation feedback and input
