Speech & Media Coaching:

Customized coaching for keynote speeches, media interviews, panels, press conferences, interactive meetings (audio and video conferencing) and satellite broadcasts. We help speakers develop powerful strategic content, and confident, compelling delivery, ensuring that messages are heard and remembered.

Presentation Crafting & Training:

Ovid helps clients create and deliver the kind of presentations that fully engage and inspire audiences. Our unique step-by-step approach utilizes elements of neuroscience, entertainment, brand strategy and social psychology to bring new power to presentations and presenters.

Communications Coaching:

Ovid helps executives find their individual "voices", craft their personal stories, and martial the energy, commitment, and passion to become strong speakers and leaders. We also help clients overcome speaking phobias, fears, limiting beliefs and long-standing habits that may interfere with effective communications.

Workshops:

Ovid's workshops are customized for our clients. They range from half-day, on-location seminars to two-day on-camera workshops.

Story banking:

Story banking is a powerful communications tool that enables spokespeople to go into a "bank" and withdraw true, well-crafted stories, mined from their organizational history and experience. These stories can be used to add texture, depth, and emotional power to any oral presentation. Spokespeople can also use stories to quickly and effectively convey an organization's core values and mission.

Meeting Design:

Jane Praeger has years of experience helping organizations design and implement compelling and productive Board meetings, panel discussions, important company presentations and other types of content-rich events. Jane's designs are always strategic, ensuring that all participants (audience and presenters) are fully engaged and that pre-determined goals are met.
