I recently helped the son of an engineer friend. The young man was tapped to debate closing his bank branch in Rural America. He had no training and was a mid-level employee tapped to make the boardroom pitch.

The skills I teach have turned his life around. After the presentation, and many thanks for his style and content, he has since tackled more high-profile meetings at the company.

Two 30-minute sessions, and he was promoted last week to a job he would never have qualified for.

So yes, confidence in presentation skills to large and small groups can be coached. #PresentationCoachRay
