Workshops + Executive 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’re looking to provide foundational skills, start with the Speak Easy Workshop. This fast-paced session will shift your team’s mindset on presentations and workplace conversations and give them tools that they can begin using right away.
If you have cohorts for emerging leaders, analysts or associates, you can support them with more immersive, work-based training with Presentation Rx. They will develop presentations, briefings, stories and and run meetings that deliver results. Presentation Rx »
EXECUTIVE COACHING
You’re about to launch a new fund, you’re hosting an industry conference, or you want to make sure the team makes its case to senior executives for the annual budget review. Equip your speakers with coaching and design support.
An outside perspective gives executives peace of mind and speakers a resource to accelerate and improve their work. We’ll provide individual coaching or run a group rehearsal to give you the confidence that your team is ready.
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.”
