Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous poet, essayist, and master of Yankee speechcraft, once reminded his students that "Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints, and gods use a short and positive speech." All too often, the rest of us mere mortals are forced to endure an unending series of pontificating windbags. How many times have we fallen asleep in the back of lecture halls, anesthetized by professors who never once looked up from their podiums? Or glanced at the clock in desperation as a marketing rep fumbled for another transparency? Or winced in pain at another PowerPoint slide that was all "bells and whistles" and no content?
Speechcraft and public presentation are all about creating a mental link between the imagination of the speaker and the natural curiousity of the audience. We founded PitchProfessors to help professionals hold and captivate audiences right from the words "Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen." We work with a team of handpicked professionals who have a proven ability to write imaginatively, speak eloquently, and present convincingly in front of any audience. We prefer to work one-on-one with my clients, starting with the initial interview right through to the final presentation. Our services can consist of anything from a simple brainstorming session to writing a formal speech for a convention.
