Storytelling
What makes some leaders influential, some people potent fundraisers and some salespeople great closers? The answer is often storytelling. Recognize, craft and deliver stories that sway.
“Great, practical course where you put learning into practice immediately. My next presentation will be much better. And the next, and the next, and the next.”

Our Process
Our workshops and executive coaching programs are grounded in the principles of adult learning. We deconstruct the presentation process, separating it into clear, actionable behaviors. Then we help people create awareness around their strengths and what we call “Quick Wins.” These are the skills that will help each person improve fastest. So whatever level your presentation skills are and whatever you’d like to improve, we can help. We’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but we work with clients across the globe. Whether virtual or in-person, we’ve identified four key elements to successful presentation training and coaching:
Make it Safe.
Presentation training can be scary and uncomfortable (like going to the dentist, only no free toothbrush). We create the space for you to safely push yourself, develop awareness and grow.
Make it Stick.
We follow simple, actionable steps that heighten awareness of your strengths and development opportunities now and into the future. Our behavior-based learning approach helps you continue improving long after your training.
Make it Specific.
Most people never get candid, actionable feedback on presentations, which makes getting better difficult. We use deep practice and in-the-moment coaching to pin-point what’s working and what still needs work.
Make it Fun.
Watching yourself on video can feel like a bad reality show. We make the process fun (or at least tolerable), which keeps you learning, growing & smiling.
Effective Presentation Case Study:
Dan Bayer, SVP of Services, Addepar
“A Project Manager in my group named Pratik had just taken GrahamComm’s Presentation Training. We were in a Steering Committee meeting with what would become our very largest client, but they hadn’t signed the deal yet. Pratik gave the client an update with no slides; he just presented to them for two minutes and nailed it. After he spoke, the client said, “If anyone was wondering why we’re picking Addepar, I hope you’re not wondering any more. You’re completely on point, you showed you understand our business as well as we do, and you proved it in that update.” When I congratulated Pratik, he said ‘All thanks to GrahamComm!’
The course has been so powerful that I’ve had my entire team go through the training. This has enabled us to have more effective meetings, close more business and continually raise the standard of our internal and external presentations.”
