Crunch Time

Where did the time go? I only have (X) days to have my presentation ready!

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 you agreed to deliver was pushed to the back burner. In the back of your mind you’re thinking, “Once I sit down to build this presentation I’ll get it done in a flash”. 

When you finally sat down to tackle it you realized how big the job in front of you is. 

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 who you trust to bounce ideas off…someone that understands the psychology of influence and persuasion. 

That’s where I come in. 

The stakes are high and you’re in the weeds. It feels like it might be too late to make a difference. But that’s where you’re wrong. 

It IS crunch time — I’m here to get you out of this mess and get you prepared so you can shine like the experienced professional you are.

 

“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, GCGC

“I was faced with a big challenge and little time on my side. Having Janice’s expertise and support was incredibly valuable. She provided a high level of concierge service at an investment worth every penny. I didn’t know what to expect going into our few weeks together, but what I received on the other side was more than my initial expectations. Janice is a lifesaver!”

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. 

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. 

COMMON QUESTIONS
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.
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.
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?
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?

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

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

“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.”
