Training + Coaching
Training Pathways
GROUP TRAINING
Elevate your team’s storytelling, design, and public speaking skills. Select a large group seminar to provide foundational skills for everyone, or enroll smaller groups to learn and apply more specialized presentation, storytelling, design, and speaking skills.
Where to start:
If you want to provide foundational skills, start with the Presentation Rx Workshop. Encourage your team to try new approaches to their meetings and presentations with practical steps and a playbook. Learn more here.
Support cohorts of emerging leaders, analysts, or associates through work-based training with Storytelling Lab. Speakers will develop stories that persuade, accelerate decision-making, and drive action. Learn more here.
COACHING SPRINTS
Even your sharpest team members can fall short in high-stakes moments—going on too long or failing to read the room. But that doesn’t mean they lack potential. It means they need support.
Timely communication coaching helps high-potential professionals present themselves clearly, confidently, and credibly—especially when the pressure is on.
Whether your team prepares for a big pitch, board update, or internal strategy session, our coaching ensures they’re ready to deliver.
-
Have peace of mind knowing your team is prepared, polished, and aligned
-
Stronger presence in meetings with senior leaders, clients, and investors
-
Faster growth for rising talent who need to match communication to capability
-
Better outcomes in high-visibility moments that shape reputations and results
It’s not about perfection.
It’s about helping your team communicate like the leaders they’re becoming.
Our approach
Training is based on your business and the results you seek.
We get to know your business, working with leaders to define and set expectations. Multiple touch-points with speakers and their managers can make the difference between a thought-provoking workshop and transformational, lasting change. Our courses are focused on the kinds of presentations you give, the meetings you run, and the outcomes you seek. As a result, every speaker knows they can apply new approaches and techniques.
Speakers learn + apply concepts using easy-to-use methods.
Beyond empowering speakers with skills, we distill theory and knowledge into practical methods that give them a way to organize their ideas, quickly complete a first draft, and follow a plan to fill any gaps.
Sustained support beyond workshops.
We’re with your team when they go to prepare for their next briefing or investor pitch. Transformation occurs in the follow-up, where we help speakers play to their strengths as communicators and offer guidance on making a point more compelling, making their point faster, refining a story, or conveying more gravitas.
“I’ve been giving presentations throughout my career, but each time I take a course or get coaching from Portico, I learn something that makes me better. I encourage everyone on my team to think more broadly about presentations. They’re not just the formal events; it’s every time we interact with our members. We’re putting the training and coaching into play whenever we meet.”
