“I’m excited about my new Presentation CPR service,” said Matthew Cossolotto. “I’ve found over the years that many top-level executives, especially those with specific functional expertise such as marketing or technology, already have one or two standard presentations, complete with extensive Power Point slides and other visual support. They tend to update and recycle these presentations for various audiences. These executives don’t really need a speechwriter, per se. Instead, they often need someone from the outside to take a fresh look at their standard presentation and inject some new life into it. They often need someone to help them cut out the clutter, highlight key messages, coach them on delivery, and perhaps rearrange the structure so the presentation is more purposeful and impactful.” Cossolotto continued: “My Presentation CPR service begins with a one-on-one coaching session. I always ask the executive two simple, often overlooked questions. What is the main point of this speech? And what do you want the audience to do with this information? Too many speakers don’t seem to ask themselves those questions before they get up to speak. As a result, they often proceed to punish their audiences with tedious, rambling presentations overloaded with complicated, hard-to-follow slide support. My Presentation CPR service is specifically designed to inject some new life and energy into these standard executive speeches. The way I see it, performing emergency CPR on ailing presentations is just what the doctor ordered. It’s good medicine both for the speaker and for the poor suffering audience.” Cossolotto’s Podium Power™ workshops are designed to help participants become more confident, comfortable and authentic public speakers. The workshops contain several unique concepts and exercises – including The Power of S.P.E.E.C.H., The Wizard of Oz Formula, and Whole-Brain Speaking – that encourage tapping into a range of Right Brain (connection/presence-based) and Left Brain (content/preparation-based) capabilities. Podium Power workshops involve a combination of lectures, discussions, and videotaped exercises. They are ideal for leadership/management development and team-building programs. Cossolotto also provides one-on-one speech coaching based on his Podium Power concepts. |
