FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

definition: What’s the difference between an executive coach, an executive speech coach and a regular speech coach?

  • Executive coach - works on leadership, strategy, visioning and other skills to enhance performance and manage challenges to achieve organizational goals.

  • Executive speech coach - works with leaders and executives to improve or enhance their presentation skills and executive presence as leaders.

  • Regular speech coach - works with professionals on public speaking skills and confidence.

Vetting: How do I choose an executive coach?

Consider these credentials:

  • Deep executive experience – Experience with Senior and C-Suite leaders, not just mid-level managers.

  • Proven track record – Search for testimonials, case studies, or reference from Fortune 500, financial institutions, or global organizations.

  • Media & high-pressure expertise – They can prepare you for investor calls, media appearances, or crisis communication.

  • Tailored methodology – Customized coaching, not “cookie-cutter” presentation tips.

  • Chemistry & confidentiality – Trusted relationship, especially since sensitive strategic conversations may arise. One size doesn’t fit all so make sure you feel a rapport with the coach by having a “chemistry: conversation.

  • Hourly rate for seasoned professionals.

  • Package rate for long-term engagements or high-profile event preparation. This is a guaranteed number of sessions over a specified time period.

"We were looking for a significant investment of 300M for our facility in Lyon, France. It takes 5 years from construction to licensed facility and we were doing clinical trials, 3 years away, so the investment was high risk. And we didn't even know if the vaccine worked.

I needed to be as clear, understandable, and effective as possible to convey that this type of risk was worth it. I got the funding. The facility is built and ready to go. The product will sell over $1 billion per year. Without your help on that presentation, and convincing the executive committee to invest, we wouldn’t have the product.”
