Here are typical results:

"Working with Gail Larsen to develop a winning presentation made all the difference. Her intrepid intelligence in the area of communication is the best I've ever encountered, and I attribute part of our success to her expert telephone coaching."

"In just one hour with Gail, I was able to step into the Hollywood scene to present my screenplay with confidence.  She also offered a specific insight that moved my creative project forward significantly."
-Carolyn Cobelo
Author and Artist

"Having watched the video of our coaching session, I am getting that there is an art to speaking I am barely aware of: that there is a difference between transmitting information and really delivering a message in a way that connects.  I see how much I can simplify the information and use storytelling, questions, and more deliberate languaging to enhance the experience for the audience.  I'm excited to see how this feels compared to talks I've given over the last few years."

REAL SPEAKING MENTORING PROGRAM
Moving from Inspiration to Implementation

In addition to Gail's programs with small groups, she offers individual consulting services. Your greatest value from Gail's time and your investment comes from first attending Real Speaking.  Much of your success in market branding/positioning comes from what may be hidden to you, and the Real Speaking process brings what is truly original about you to the forefront. Once you have graduated from Real Speaking, you have established a foundation for your speaking: a message that is central to who you are and a renewed capacity to connect with others.  If you are preparing for a significant speech, want to adapt your core message to various audiences, or launch a book, a business or a speaking career, the Personal Mentoring Program is designed to move you quickly into action.  Services include:

• strategic action planning to move you into your marketplace
• presentation development
• presentation coaching
• building an audience for your books through speaking
• writing/consulting on your marketing materials

  "I am thrilled with what you helped me create to communicate the essense of my business. Original. Unique. Creative. Comprehensive."

  Action Planning
  Action Planning catalyzes our combined knowledge and experience to promote your successful launch at its most critical phase, whether a book, a speaking career, or a product or business. In this half-day process (which can include your team members or allies), we clarify objectives, define direction, and align resources.  It includes comprehensive documentation with month-by-month benchmarks in support of specific goals.

  "Real Speaking followed by consultation with Gail is the perfect one-two punch.  Three months after Real Speaking, having re-watched my coaching tapes and applying the principles, Gail came back with even more concrete ideas, and we designed a marketing plan on content that is uniquely me.  She is part coach, part mentor, part angel, and part magician."

  "Gail's knowledge of the speaking industry has stood us in good stead as we developed our launch plan to combine speaking appearances with promotion of a new title and author.  She has provided speaking coaching and PR for Bluefire Books, helping to develop a presentation outline and flow and dramatically improve delivery.  In a short period of time she produced outstanding media coverage in Northern New Mexico."
  

  Tom Lopez
  Publisher, Bluefire Books

  "We accomplished more in 3 hours than I have in 12 months of personal coaching. Your process was fun, energizing, and truly effective.  I am excited about the year ahead and the opportunities we have identified."
  

  Melissa Galt

  Presentation Development

  "Real Speaking helped me identify my core message, and now I work with Gail by phone whenever I'm planning a new presentation.  She reminds me of what I know, provides great ideas to augment my content, and helps me ease into the process with confidence and excitement about my message."
  

  Joanne Brem
  Executive Coach, JCB & Associates

  "Gail did a superb job of helping me create a structure which held the whole speech together, which is indeed the key to my being able to relax on stage.  We are a non-profit organization where cash is tight.  But I was impressed with Gail's ability to accomplish so much in a minimum of time."
  

  Michael Stewartt

  Presentation and Media Coaching
  "Once I had my message, my structure and my self esteem in place from Real Speaking, I worked with Gail to polish and refine my first and subsequent speeches. She has an innate ability to hear the words and phrases that do not fully express my message and/or who I am and makes suggestions based on my current audience demographics. This allows me to be more effective and confident in my delivery, giving me the effectiveness and presence of an established speaker instead of the somewhat newcomer I am!"
  
  CA Crossman
  Life Coach, Speaker, and Catalyst

  "When it was time to embark on a media tour for my book, I worked with Gail to crystallize my message into something that would come alive in radio and television interviews. Gail's questions drew out my best and helped me to be confident and excited about the way I talk about my book."
