About Personal Best Presentation Coaching

FREE PERSONAL BEST CONSULTATION
with John Brady

Now that I’m part of Janet’s In The SpotLight community, I want to do my part in helping you reach your objectives and become a more effective presenter and communicator.

It’s easy to get started. Just email me at john@performanceanxiety.com or call us toll-free at 877-814-7705 and I’ll make myself available for a 15-20 minute private phone consultation with you that will help you get started – at no charge and with no further obligation.

If you are interested, I encourage you to contact me today. All you have to do is send me your name, phone number, and convenient times to talk. I will call you at the date and time we confirm. We can talk about the types of presentations you generally have to give and any other communication situations that you normally find yourself in that are challenging for you. We can discuss what you can work on to become even more effective in these types of speaking situations. I can offer you some coaching to help guide you on improving your presentation and communication skills.

I’ll share some best practices and tips from my years of coaching hundreds of executives in becoming more effective communicators. I’ll also give you a few ideas that you can start using immediately.

I’ll also answer any questions you may have regarding the Personal Best Course and/or the Personal Best Private Coaching Sessions.

I look forward to helping you become your own “Personal Best” in whatever speaking situations you find yourself in this year and beyond!

-John Brady

Personal Best Presentation Coaching is designed to help you become a more confident and effective speaker once you have made some headway in managing your fear of public speaking. The primary focus of this coaching is to get you to your own "Personal Best" in your skill as a presenter for improved confidence and improved performance in business and other settings in which you face speaking challenges.

There are various options for Personal Best Coaching, ranging from a one-time consultation with John to a more structured series of coaching sessions with both John and Janet included.

"I got a lot more out of the Personal Best coaching that I took with Janet and John than I thought I would. The format was perfect for what I needed, which was a re-grounding of the principles learned from Janet’s workshop and book, as well as valuable skills learned from John's expertise. I would recommend this to anyone committed to improving their presentation skills without hesitation. It was a great value for the money and certainly helped me a lot. Thank you both very much."

Options for Personal Best Coaching

Basic Program

If you are interested in getting feedback on the effectiveness of your presentation delivery and speaking style, and suggestions/guidance for further improvement, John Brady is available to help with this.  You can send John a copy of one or more videotapes of you presenting – you can use a tape that you have from Janet’s workshop and/or Refresher Course, a tape of you speaking in your workplace or in some other situation, or a tape of you delivering a presentation in front of a video camera in your living room!  John can review your tape and set up a phone consultation time to discuss with you your strengths as a speaker and any areas of improvement for increased effectiveness in your presentation delivery and overall speaking style. You will also receive a written evaluation with specific coaching tips.

John can work with you on a one-time consultation basis or set up one or more follow-up coaching sessions to help support your progress in this area.  Janet can be involved in these conference calls as well if you would like, to bring in her perspective in working more directly with the anxiety issues (though rest assured that John is very sensitive to this as he works to help people improve their effectiveness as a speaker).  The investment for John to review one of your tapes and have an hour phone consultation with you will be $175.  John promises that every client will benefit by becoming a more effective presenter with coaching guidance that will last a lifetime.  If you want a more extensive consultation – e.g., have John review more of your tapes, have Janet involved in the conference call, and/or have follow-up session(s), the fee will be determined accordingly.  Please email Janet at jesposito@performanceanxiety.com and copy John at john@performanceanxiety.com and they will get back to you promptly with more information or to set up a plan.

Expanded Program

Another option for Personal Best Presentation Coaching is a series of focused, guided, and integrated sessions designed to help you make significant headway in improving your presentation delivery skills and overall speaking style. The primary focus of this coaching is to provide a comprehensive approach to help you develop your own "Personal Best" in your presentation and other communication skills for improved confidence and improved performance in business and other settings in which you face speaking challenges.

Janet and John work collaboratively to help you further reduce and manage speaking anxiety while also improving your skill and presence in creating and delivering presentations and other communications more confidently and effectively.

While each individual plan is unique, a typical coaching series consists of ten hours divided into five sessions spaced over two months.

There is a combination of phone coaching sessions and an extended skill development session which is done either in person or by phone if the person lives and works outside of the NY Metropolitan area.  Videotaped presentations will be reviewed and a written evaluation with coaching tips will be provided.  Each session has a focused agenda and clearly defined goals.

  • Individually customized and focused with the person's needs in mind
