SPEAKING

Book Brad and you can be assured of rave reviews. No matter the topic, Brad builds in fun. In fact, his mantra is “Laugh & Learn” Attendees are often brought up on stage for game show style quizzes, mock talk shows and news conferences, all projected so the “studio audience” gets to participate. His talks are fast paced, peppered with video examples and real-life stories from the media frontline.

PRESENTATION COACHING

Today’s audiences are more demanding than ever. Boring talks and dull presenters are quickly tuned out, underscoring the need for great storytelling. Brad’s “Present Like a Rockstar” workshops teach participants how to develop and deliver compelling talks that engage and persuade audiences of all sizes. He also works 1:1 with speakers, coaching them to present their stories clearly and confidently.

MEDIA & CRISIS TRAINING

Never have organizations had more ways to tell their stories. Social media. Mobile media. Mainstream media. New channels abound, as do new threats. But no matter the situation or the media, organizations need a great story – and people to tell it well. That requires frontline spokespersons skilled at communicating across multiple media platforms and in front of increasingly critical audiences.

CRISIS PLANNING & CONSULTING

Natural disasters, accidents, health and safety threats, service interruptions, social media controversies, and other crises can damage hard-earned reputations in minutes. When trouble strikes, the public, media, employees, investors, regulators and other critical audiences demand answers NOW.
