Client stories

What an engagement actually changes

Two engagements, told properly — what the situation was, what we did, and what happened afterwards.

A tech start-up · investor presentations

Raising money while managing nerves

The situation

A tech start-up executive needed to impress investors. The stakes for every presentation are high, and so was his level of nervousness.

The work

He engaged in a twenty-session program, with follow-ups before each investor meeting. The focus was telling his company story, influential messaging, controlling nerves, and high-impact delivery.

The outcome

Three investments in the seven figures.

The preparation carried across meetings rather than being rebuilt each time — which is what the follow-up sessions before each pitch were for.

A growing biotech · the whole HR team

Building the coaching capability in-house

The situation

A growing biotech company wanted better presentation planning, messaging and delivery from its leaders — at a scale no external coach could cover one meeting at a time.

The work

We launched a Train the Presentation Coach Certificate Program for the entire human resources team, so the people already closest to those leaders could do the coaching themselves.

The outcome

More confident leaders, clearer communication — and business results.

The program is paying off through clearer communication with teams and clients, and importantly, through business results.

The coaching behind these

The first is investor pitch coaching, run as a one-to-one program around a series of high-stakes meetings — see the rest of what we offer and how an engagement runs. The second is the Train the Presentation Coach Certificate Program, which trains your own people to coach.
