Questions, answered briefly.

Speaking and persuasion training for professionals and the organizations they work in. Your people learn to answer clearly, keep it brief, handle unexpected questions, and make a convincing case, in client meetings, pitches, negotiations, and internal discussions.

There are four formats: the Lunch Session, the Workshop, Private Coaching, and specialized new graduate training.

No, although the method comes from competitive debate. Debaters learn to organise a thought in seconds and deliver it under a time limit. We use the same kind of practice to help professionals speak clearly in everyday work, not to win formal debates.

Anyone whose work depends on speaking clearly and persuasively: people who brief colleagues, answer clients, pitch ideas, negotiate, or lead teams, at any stage of their career, including new graduates starting out. Private Coaching is open to anyone looking to improve their speaking, as an ongoing series or to prepare for a specific event.

In your offices in Toronto, or remotely by video. Every format can be delivered either way.

The Lunch Session runs 90 minutes and suits a full team or department. The Workshop is a half day for up to sixteen people, so everyone gets real time speaking. Private Coaching is one-on-one, arranged by engagement. The new graduate training can run as a full day, a condensed session, or a series of lunch-and-learns.

Yes. Exercises are drawn from the situations your people actually face: client calls, internal meetings, pitches, and hard questions. Before a session, we ask what those situations look like in your organization.
