What is the Pre-Meeting Intensive?  
 

When delivery and writing really count – when key players must speak before the Board, Stockholders, full or partial company meetings - get them coached to make each speaker shine.

 
 

To appear at their best, speakers are evaluated for skills and weaknesses for delivering in this format

Each participant is digitally taped, coached and taped again to integrate new skills with current expertise

Speakers will be digitally taped, coached, and taped again to integrate current expertise with new skills

For the past 20 years top executives around the globe have polished their speaking performance with Dr. Reesa Woolf.

Her techniques are simple and effective.  Participants are repeatedly taped while rehearsing, then directly and diplomatically critiqued to improve their material and delivery. 

Their openings and closings become more dynamic; they are more commanding and relaxed after only one session.  Whether the talk is technical, informational or motivational, they feel and look completely “in charge.”

Participants learn to effectively incorporate their personalities in order to connect listeners to the material.

People who speak English as a second language learn techniques to smooth their accents, hold listeners’ attention and be more easily understood.
