There is very little lecture in these sessions, opting instead for demonstrations, examples, and, most of all, hands-on learning. Participants are invited to do a bit of their presentation each week and receive feedback, while the group gets the benefit of seeing how to solve many universal issues in real time. The group also creates a bond and a tool set which allows them to collaborate and assist one another in future presentations. Participants are asked to do homework each week and there is a final performance on the last day of class.

With a team of dedicated trainers, Montana & Co. can scale to coach your entire roster of speakers. All conference speaker coaching engagements start with the group webinar Captivate Your Audience (see above), which covers foundational virtual speaking skills to kick off training, followed up by individual 1:1 60-minute sessions with each speaker. In the group session every speaker will understand the fundamentals of a good introduction, how to hook your audience right away, how to keep your audience’s attention, and how to engage your audience in a virtual setting.
With these basics covered in the group session, the follow up individual 1:1 session launches into a higher level of learning, addressing exactly what that individual presenter needs to take their game to the next level. Each session is run like a rehearsal, beginning with the coach watching the speaker do the first 5 minutes of their presentation. The coach assesses every aspect of the presentation (delivery, content, slides, etc.), gives honest and constructive feedback, then the coach and speaker work together to incorporate the adjustments in real time. Each participant walks away with a video of their session, clear techniques to incorporate, and a plan for how to prepare and practice.
