Services

Marlene Robinson, SPEECH-COACH, offers comprehensive executive communications services. My goals are to assist you or your company’s personnel in reducing stress and apprehension when in the public spotlight and to create strong speaker impact. In doing so I will not only help you to develop an enthusiasm for speaking in any circumstance, I will also teach you how to develop appreciation, understanding and motivation in your audience.

I offer both private individual consulting and group training and development programs for companies and private clients.

Because each individual’s needs are unique, I begin each program with an evaluation interview which will help me tailor a wide range of services to meet your specific objectives. Training methods used include lecture and demonstration, role-playing, taping and group interaction. Every client also receives home practice assignments.

PRIVATE CONSULTATIONS

This program, consisting of personal, one-on-one coaching sessions, is best for the high-level or middle management executive.

All sessions are conducted in the strictest privacy, with confidentially guaranteed. Areas covered include:

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

Designed for groups of 6 to 50 participants, the workshops and seminars cover a similar group of topics to those covered in private sessions. I use a variety of presentation formats, ranging from lecture and demonstration to role-playing based on commonly encountered true-life situations.

Seminars range from half-day to multiple day sessions, with fees based on the number of participants and time required. Sessions may be scheduled consecutively or separately, allowing for practice intervals.

Whether your need is to train and develop personnel to relate more effectively with clients, stockholders, the media or each other, these workshops aid in boosting morale and company loyalty as well as raising the individual’s personal feeling of accomplishment.

In our information processing society, our most important human resource is the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with each other.

SPEECH SERVICES

A memorable speech is not written word-for-word at all. It is carefully planned, however. The planning involves gathering logical "idea blocks" and pertinent data and organizing them in a refreshing, new way with humor, insight and wisdom. SPEECH-COACH is a service that can help you do this planning.

In addition, you may have other assignments like writing a brochure for your company, developing a press kit, or writing for various media presentations (such as direct mail solicitations, broadcast media, and articles in papers and magazines). You may have to present an award to someone or receive an award yourself.

You may have to go to a business meeting and network with people you are unfamiliar with. You may have to run a business meeting and motivate your staff. You may be looking for employment and need a resume. SPEECH-COACH services can help you with all of these communications challenges.

Marlene Robinson is available for keynote speaking engagements as well as for motivational lecture presentations on effective communications for your company, group, association, or institution.
