Crunch Time

Intervention

You've procrastinated but it's not too late...

You have chicken scratch on some crumpled pieces of paper and a couple of ideas floating around.

You’ve fired up PowerPoint and made some random notes.

Presentation day is looming. You have a few weeks (or days!) before you’re scheduled to be stage-ready.

There’s no judgment. You’re busy. I get it. The days fly by with a mountain of demands on your time. The presentation that you agreed to deliver kept being pushed to the back burner.

In the back of your mind you were thinking, “Once I sit down to build this presentation I’ll get it done in a flash”. When you finally sat down you realized the big job in front of you.

You’ve got a ping-pong match going on in your head and you’re the only player.

public speaking anxiety That’s where I come in.

The stakes are high but you’re in the weeds and it feels like it might be too late to make a difference. That’s where you’re wrong. It IS crunch time — I’m here to get you out of this mess and prep you for the stage so you can shine like the experienced professional you are.

You’re feeling the pressure because you want to take this presentation to the next level and really make a difference – to others and your career. You have no one to bounce ideas off of that you trust…someone that understands the psychology of influence and persuasion.

Tim Oakley, Director of Procurement, GCGC

For anybody who has listened to a presentation from a business leader and said to themselves, “I wish I could communicate like that, but it’s just not in my DNA”, my response would be, “Yes it is. Go see Janice”.

I get speakers prepared for their time on stage – from TED events to keynotes to board meetings. I’ve probably worked with clients in your industry. (I’m the hidden asset behind many successful speakers.)

I’m on fire when the pressure is on and deadlines are tight. It’s my sweet spot.

I’ll take the pressure off your shoulders, have your ideas flowing, and get you stage-ready. I’ll guide you to make sure:

Your opening will raise eyebrows.
The speech will be laser-focused.
Your talk will flow seamlessly.
You’ll hold your audience’s attention (for your entire presentation).
And with your last words, your audience will be clear about what they need to do.

It would be my pleasure to work with you to create a presentation your audience (and colleagues) will talk about for a long time (in a good way of course). One they use as an example of what a great presentation is. A talk that will have your career trajectory shooting up (not down!) or help you clinch that sale you’ve been courting. And not to mention the confidence (and thrill) you’ll feel when you walk off the stage to well-deserved applause.

COMMON QUESTIONS

I don’t know anything about Powerpoint, can I still do this?

You may not need Powerpoint. But if you do, I have graphic designers that will take the job of creating a deck off your shoulders.

I feel like so much is riding on this speech, is that normal?

Yes, it’s absolutely normal. As your event day gets closer you’ll increasingly feel the pressure. That’s where I come in – to help you manage your nerves.

Should I suggest someone else do the presentation since I’m so behind?

It’s your choice of course. Do you want to grab the opportunity to have your voice heard or leave it for someone else to reap the rewards?

Would it better if I just “wing it” — off the cuff speaking is supposed to be the best type of speaking skill, right?

If you were at a networking event and simply introducing yourself, of course. But we’re talking about an important presentation. Do you want to leave such a critical opportunity to chance and come across as disrespecting your audience by arriving unprepared?

Do I really still have time to get this right?

Absolutely! Well, that is if you are committed to digging in and investing the time.

Can’t you just write my speech for me and then I can just read it on stage?

I could, but you’d be happier with the results if we collaborate on a script. This way you’ll ‘own it’, making it easier to deliver in your authentic voice.

Why shouldn’t I just go to Toastmasters?

Toastmasters uses a templated model. You need all the attention focused on you while working with a partner who cares about your success.

Make the most of the time you have left — even if that’s days or weeks.

Use your time crunch to your advantage instead of seeing it as an obstacle.

I get a thrill, goosebumps actually, every time a client walks off the stage and immediately shoots over a text that says, “I NAILED IT!”

AJ McLean, Portfolio Manager – Managing Broker, McLean Group

Janice has an incredible ability to read people. At the initial meeting to review my first draft, she could tell I had a lot of outside help and called me out. Janice and I rewrote a genuine, concise and organic speech that truly was mine.

I really appreciated Janice’s honesty and straightforwardness. It made it easy for me to use her feedback because I didn’t have to spend time trying to figure out if I was on the right track. She effortlessly guided me through the entire process and didn’t leave me stranded at any time.

Be bold. Get heard. Inspire action.

“I never felt like I had public speaking in me. When I met Janice, I was afraid of revealing that side to someone else, but she put me at ease right away. Her sessions are part therapy, part coaching. Now I look back at my old videos and see a noticeable difference in my confidence. Janice made me aware of subconscious speaking habits that were impacting my first impression on clients, like diminishing my own achievements or punctuating my sentences with apologies. Today, I go into calls feeling confident, assertive, and ready to show up as an expert. If you're looking to get your ego stroked, Janice probably isn't a good fit for you. But if you're willing to dig deep into what's working and what's not working in your speaking style, the results you can achieve are incredible. I've used her frameworks to close three deals that added up to over $30,000 in projects.”

“Hiring Janice was one of the best steps I've taken in my career as a public speaker and business owner. She was instrumental in helping me prepare for the Clio Cloud 9 conference, which was a big deal as Gary Vaynerchuk was the keynote speaker. For me, I have deep-rooted issues with public speaking and confidence. Janice recognized this and helped me deliver the best presentation of my career. ”

Samantha Collier

Feldstein Family Law Group PR Manager & Lawyer Social Media Consultant/Specialist
“Thank-you! Meeting you, sent me on a quest to learn to speak better. I was back in Kenya in February to speak, then in Zambia in April. I am now working on a series of eight messages to be given in Nigeria in August. Our “chance” meeting and casual conversation in Nairobi was a turning point for me. Thought you might like to know of your impact. ”

Steve Walters

International Aid Consultant
“Last year my dream of becoming a professional educator was coming true, although the one thing that was holding me back was my fear of public speaking! My first presentation was 90 minutes long in front of 250 people! Janice is a gifted individual who is patient, understanding and extremely knowledgeable in the area of communication. I give presentations on almost a daily basis now without any issues. Thank you Janice—you empowered, encouraged and motivated me to be the confident speaker I always wanted to be! ”

“For anybody who has read an article or correspondence from a senior colleague or business leader and said to themselves, “I wish I could communicate like that, but it’s just not in my DNA”, my response would be, "Yes it is. Go see Janice".”

Tim Oakley

Director of Procurement
“I reached out to Janice as I was struggling with some upcoming presentations I was doing for senior executives. While I had been doing presentations for years, I wanted to make these presentations stand out and had less than three weeks to prepare. Janice was a pleasure to work with. She was readily available with her time, flexible and adapted her approach to my needs. She provided me with assignments after each meeting so that I could bring my presentation - both the content and presentation of it - to the next level. Her approach balanced being supportive and encouraging all while pushing me to get to the next level. Given I was working with a short timeline, it was a lot of work and big time commitment on my part. The results were worth the effort. I was impressed with how great an impact Janice was able to have within a short time. I was blown away with the feedback I received from the executives following my presentations. I will continue to work with Janice in the future.”

Cynthia Donahue

Human Resource Professional
“I reached out to Janice Tomich when preparing for a presentation to senior management. I did not have any previous presentation experience and needed help. Janice’s coaching style was great and provided me with the tools I needed to improve my presentation. The positive feedback I received on the day of the presentation, from both my colleagues and VP, was a reflection of the skills Janice helped me develop. Thanks Janice!”

“Janice...has brought us to a new level in terms of confidence, connections and sense of possibility. We credit her insight and vision in helping us bring our message to the bigger stage, as well as bringing media interest and exposure. We wish her every success and look forward to working with her again.”

“I have a feeling that my work with you, when I look back at it in a few years, will be pivotal in my trajectory. That rainy morning, sitting at your glass table when I connected with not having to be perfect. That and everything that followed will be pivotal. Thank you for providing me with the space to go there. I have also come to understand that I have to keep doing this. I have to keep speaking, putting myself out there and growing. I thought to myself after the presentation: "Ok, when is the next one? When do I do this again?" You certainly would not have heard me say that 6 months ago! Janice, I cannot thank you enough. I will keep all your pearls of wisdom close to my heart and keep working on all those things you allowed me to see. You are amazing at what you do. ”
