How is Throughline Group Different?

Not all public speaking courses are created equal.

Throughline’s highly customized in-person and live online executive presentation training workshops distinguish us in a crowded field of public speaking firms.

We tailor our training to the unique challenges that executives face.

For high-profile individuals, executives, and other c-suite inhabitants, effective corporate presentation skills do more than just make you look good. They allow you to make persuasive presentations to the board to contextualize Q1 earnings, to the public via interviews on cable news, and to anxious shareholders assembled in a conference room.

We’ve become trusted advisors to hundreds of executives for whom we’ve delivered highly relevant trainings. Our approach focuses on achieving immediate results in limited time. With coaches trained in conducting extensive and personalized research in advance of each training, Throughline can tailor sessions that lead to instantaneous results and long-term improvement.

We’re committed to delivering the best executive presentation skills training in the industry, focused squarely on your specific challenges and goals, whether that is in-person or virtually. You’ll experience the same great expertise from our highly experienced trainers whether you opt for the flexibility, convenience, and real-time instruction of remote live online instruction – with workshops specifically designed for the online learning environment – or in-person sessions.

As one client told us, we don’t just create great speakers; we foster profound transformations.

Before your executive presentation skills workshop, we’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches, PowerPoint presentations, and other presentation material. We’ll delve into your industry and area of expertise, so that we can tailor an approach that fits you and your professional needs.

Our executive presentation training goes well beyond the “one and done” mentality. We offer one of the most generous free post-training programs in the industry, which includes:

  • 10 in-depth clients-only special reports
  • A one-on-one follow up consultation with your trainer before your next presentation

And because we know that mastering any skill is a lifelong task, we’ll be with you long after your presentation training session ends.

Executive Presentation Skills Coaching for C-suite Officers

Hone your presentation skills to create persuasive presentations with PowerPoint

The power of the visual is well-known to effective presenters, who see PowerPoint as an enormously valuable tool. The right visuals – displayed the right way – can make your messages stickier. They get to the heart of how your audience records, remembers, and retrieves information.

So, how do you bring the verbal and visual together to have maximum effect?

Communicating effectively as a speaker means learning how to help your audience see and hear what you have to say simultaneously. In other words, you must employ strategies and techniques that reduce the chances your audience is being forced to split its attention. During our workshops, we work to develop the most effective ways to combine your words with your visuals to create layers of meaning that stir emotions, make connections, and drive people to action.

We do that through helping you to:

  • Avoid information overload on each slide
  • Develop an enduring conceptual metaphor with the proper images
  • Trim your presentation down to the essentials
  • Be clear and concise in your design
  • Create charts and graphs that inform rather than confuse
  • And more …

Through video recordings of your practice sessions, you will receive immediate feedback on which visual aids, teamed with your words and actions, best reinforce your main points and engage your audience.

These are not cookie-cutter, prescriptive strategies. During your executive PowerPoint presentation training, we work with you to implement what you have learned, so that it addresses your specific goals and presentation style.

HOW ARE OUR EXECUTIVE PRESENTATION TRAINING PROGRAMS DIFFERENT?

  • We conduct deep research into your organization.

    If there’s one thing clients have told us more than anything else, it’s how surprised they were by the amount of research we conducted before each presentation training. Before your customized workshop, we’ll review your previous and upcoming speeches, PowerPoint presentations, outlines, notes, and video clips. We’ll also learn more about your organization, the audiences you face, and the challenges you encounter when discussing your work.

  • We are industry leaders.

    Our first book, The Media Training Bible, was an Amazon #1 Public Relations best seller. Our second book, 101 Ways to Open a Speech, was a Kindle #1 Public Speaking best seller. We’ve trained tens of thousands of people for the world’s biggest stages — and have earned the repeat business of many loyal clients who were thrilled with their results.

  • We know how to teach.

    Knowing how to deliver a successful presentation isn't enough. It's far more important to be able to transfer our corporate training presentation tips to our trainees in a manner that enables them to act on them immediately. We’re rooted in theory but deliver practical advice. We've regularly refined our teaching methodology since 2004 and have created a fast-paced, fun, and highly effective workshop that has been delivered successfully hundreds of times. For instance, have your presentations increasingly gone remote? We'll help you to face the challenges — and embrace the possibilities — of video conferencing and live streaming.

  • We root our recommendations in research.

    We regularly hear stories from trainees who were instructed by a previous trainer to do something that didn't have any basis in research. As a result, the trainees were trying to communicate in an unnatural manner that went against their instincts — and that didn't work for their audiences. Wherever possible, our advice is based in research, not subjective opinion.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I consider them an extension of our senior management team."

We’ve worked with the Throughline team for more than a decade, and I attribute the dramatic rise in the quality of our presentations and media relations directly to their guidance. I continue to rely on them for their invaluable perspective on both the style and substance of my most essential communications and consider them an extension of our senior management team.
