Knock your next presentation out of the park

Leading with confidence as you present your ideas creates success in every area of your career. Whether you are presenting to leaders at your company or stepping onto a keynote stage, preparing what you’ll say is only half the battle. Speaking with confidence is the other half. If you are ready to learn the secrets to a great presentation or want to calm those nerves before that speaking engagement, my one-on-one speech coaching will help you discover the courage and certainty to knock your next presentation out of the park.  

How we coach

Coaching with STAND TALL isn't generic public speaking advice. It's not "make eye contact, refrain from saying um". It's a structured process - built on a framework Sara developed and refined across more than a decade of coaching leaders, executives, and emerging speakers

The 7 Cs framework

The 7Cs Framework to Create Content is Sara's method for crafting a speech, presentation, or any high-stakes message that needs to move an audience. It's the architecture underneath every great presentation. Once you discover its simplicity, you'll stand with confidence in front of any room. 

• Critical Point. The focus of your message. ​
• Captivate. The first 90 seconds decide whether your audience leans in or checks out.
• Connect. The bridge between you and the room. Connection isn't charisma, it's a skill and it's learnable. 
• Consensus. Go beyond an agenda where you tell them where they are going and instead bring your audience with you.
• Core. The body of your message, organized to build instead of meander.
• Commitment. What you want your audience to do and how to make that ask. 
• Close. How you land it. The last 30 seconds determines what people remember and repeat.
