Strategic Communications Training Services

StratComm Training Services

Help your community to excel with interactive training

Training sessions must be engaging and relevant for participants to gain long-term value.
My training sessions – online or in person – are always interactive, teach my best practices, and are based on real-world experience.

Online and in person Training Services for groups from five to five hundred.

We can tailor a program for your community, whether you are looking to engage them for a single event or provide intensive training for an extended period.

Use Cases - Clients

Your team of scientists, engineers and technicians are creative, productive and – likely – frustrated.

The value of their favorite innovations may seem obvious to them and yet translate poorly to upper management or to customers.

As a scientist by training, I have credibility in delivering a systematic approach to help your innovators to communicate effectively with important audiences, as well as saving you time and effort in defending your department budget.

Your sales team members are highly motivated to renew and enhance their kit of sales techniques. Competition is tough and, especially for high tech products, communications can be challenging.

“Perfect Pitch” seminars provide new tools and mindsets to help sales people to differentiate their offerings while focusing on customer benefits.

In small, young companies, your presentation abilities are the ones that really matter.

But as your company grows, your executive team’s presentation and pitch skills also need to be exceptional, whether for roadshows, board meetings or customer events.

Small team consults may be the best solution for your team, but if you are unsure if they will be open to this service or they just need some fine-tuning, a seminar can be the perfect solution.

From the minute you open your call for applicants until you have your final showcase or demo day, your participants need exceptional presentation skills.

I strongly recommend my Coaching Services for acceleration programs, but they often include How-To seminars for applicants, mentors and judges, as well as Clinics for applicants.

"How-To" Seminars

Engage your community & stakeholders

The key to a seminar that draws interest, attendance and sponsors is to present useful, actionable content in an interactive format. You can get all three with Strategic Communications seminars.

Interactive Clinics

Give your group access to real-time feedback

Sometimes a seminar – even one with built-in engagement – is not as interactive as you want for your community. Perhaps a pitch competition is coming up, or they need a quick review of their one-pagers or websites or other media. Clinics are a great way to help your community get instant feedback on their critical communications.

Intensive Workshops

Elevate your community's skills

Seminars and clinics present the audience with useful tools and opportunities for feedback, but they are inherently too short in duration for dramatic change in the short term.

Significant change in how innovators implement their communications tools and deliver their message requires intensive training, real-time implementation and direct (but kind) feedback.

CONTENT?

Each of my training services is designed to deliver strong value on its own. But as with any other skill, exposing your community to the training in different contexts and formats will strengthen their abilities and confidence.

FAQ

How many people can attend a seminar?

I have delivered seminars to as audiences of a handful to well over a hundred. Interaction and engagement are possible with any number.

How long are your seminars?

Seminars and webinars are designed to fit the time available. My preference is for 90 minutes, as that allows enough time for maximum content delivery and interaction.

What are your training fees?

Pricing depends on length and content of an individual training session. Package pricing as well as discounts for academic and nonprofit institutions are also available.

Training sessions typically range in price from $1,000 to $20,000.

Certainly! In fact, it is often beneficial to your participants to have a planned series of seminars so that they can have multiple opportunities to improve their communications skills over time.
