How do you work?

Each session is customized but all involve interactive practice with our seasoned coaches. Our clients learn by doing, enhancing skills with videotaped exercises specifically designed for them. We match the right coach to the right client and design agendas in ½ day, full day or two-day sessions to produce targeted and concrete results.  

Who do you help?

We've successfully counseled elected and appointed officials, Fortune 500 executives academics, researchers, scientists, diplomats, spokespersons, public figures and those in leadership roles. We coach those readying for sales presentations, media interviews, testimony, regulatory boards, and any public attention. In short, we coach those in the public and private sectors whose success depends on communicating with power.

Where do you train?  

We'll train you or members of your company or organization anywhere that's convenient for you. We'll come directly to your site with our equipment and trainers or train you at our location in downtown DC.

Are you able to train groups or teams and can you train for a variety of communication skills?

Yes, we can accommodate any number in our training sessions. We can design different formats for different sized groups and combine training disciplines (such as media and speech training) into a single agenda. We'll even train-the-trainer and give internal communications teams new power.

Do you offer public classes?

No. Public classes are best suited for building entry level skills. Our specialty is skill training for mid and senior level executives and professionals who need to take their skills to a higher level. We do, however, customize seminars for large groups or those with less experience in public speaking.

What makes your coaches so highly qualified?

We've been there. Our coaches have years of experience as strategists in the public and/or private sectors before putting their expertise to work for clients. In addition, each of our senior coaches has over a decade of experience as reporters with national and major local market media outlets.

Do you offer any special programs or rates?

Yes. We can review video tapes, speeches, articles and presentations and offer phone consultations for those needing expert feedback. For those needing training and consultation over a variety of disciplines and over a period of time, we offer our reputation enhancement service for maximum flexibility and hourly rates. We offer specialized communications training for litigators, lobbyists and executives preparing for IPO's. Special rates are available for non-profits, state and federal clients, as well as woman and minority owned small businesses.
