Results

We deliver results for corporations, private equity, law firms, and associations.

More than 90% of our client base is from organic growth, referrals, or leaders who move to a new organization and bring us in.  Portico-trained teams use presentations, meetings, and workplace conversations to drive better business outcomes.

Private Equity

Storycraft Training + Coaching Sprints

“My clients hired Portico to help them tell compelling stories while getting key selling points across in the 60 minutes investors generally allocate for a meeting. Junior team members needed to build confidence and take more friendly reps, while senior team members needed blind spots pointed out.

Two clients raised over $400 million, almost entirely over Zoom, from sophisticated investors, including an Ivy League endowment, fund-of-funds, and family offices.  Portico’s initial seminar gave my clients a push in the right direction, but the one one-on-one coaching helped each presenter jump multiple levels of skill.”

Associations

Presentation Rx + Coaching Sprints + Executive Communication Accelerator

“So much of our value prop comes down to the meeting experience. Do members get the insight and guidance they’re looking for?

We can more confidently say “yes.” The custom training and follow-on coaching made it easier for everyone to elevate their meetings, with targeted support for less experienced speakers. We’re better prepared to onboard new staff and promote existing team members to more visible roles. Most importantly, we’re at 100% capacity for our membership.”

Presentation Rx

Presentation Rx was the perfect way to introduce our company to new approaches. The workshop quickly reached a wide audience and provided practical playbooks that everyone can apply right away. 

The workshop challenged us to go beyond the typical status update presentation and tap into what the audience really cares about to get decisions made. The facilitator gave us “permission” to approach our audience in a much more productive way. The workshop also opened the door for us to go deeper into storytelling skills.

Executive Communication Accelerator

We invested in the Executive Coaching Accelerator for a group of high-potential technical experts who weren’t practiced in talking to executives and elected officials, which limited their careers. Their expertise was never in question, but they needed to build confidence and polish in how they communicated. They also needed to understand how to take technical data and remove the unimportant details. The results have been clear: they present with authority, influence more effectively, and are now positioned to take on bigger roles in the organization.

The executive communication coaching gave our high-potential technical experts the confidence and polish they needed to communicate with impact and step into bigger roles.”

Measure of success.

Expect more than a thought-provoking workshop or feel-good coaching session. Beyond experiencing a discernible difference in how your team communicates, we connect training to business results. 

Here’s how we approach every engagement.

GET IN TOUCH

“Since using the Portico method, meetings are much better. I get a lot less pushback: fewer people interrupting and questioning the information, which I used to get a lot of.”

“The more I use narratives and stories, the more I can tell that engagement and morale have improved. And that feeling is validated in the numbers. I see it in the surveys we run. My team feels as if they are part of this story, too.”

J.O., Fortune 500 Company

“I thought having a presence meant I had to come across as polished and know the answer to every question.  It’s about your connection to people in the room.”
