Even Spider-Man has presentation problems sometimes.
Spidey is known for his ability to stick to any solid surface. And you're known as a crackerjack accountant, or maybe just an above-average programmer. But the "Webbed One" didn’t sign up to be an audience dazzling slide jockey, and neither did you, right?
The truth is that being able to talk about your work is as important as doing it. Even though you may not love presenting, it's crucial for your career that you get good at it. And when you do get better at presenting, a weird and wonderful thing happens - you get to like it more. Why? Because you see people smiling, nodding, asking good questions. You see that people want to hear what you're saying. (Just like the oddly spaced audience members below.)

That's where I come in. I help presenters to get audiences to engage and respond – positively. Maybe you're a salesperson wanting to get shelf space for a product, or a non-profit director pitching a new project, or an engineer needing to explain your discoveries for the mere mortals in your company. Maybe you need help fitting your message to the audience, building a presentation story that will maximize interest, or just making better slides. See below to learn how I can help you.
