Barbara Seymour Giordano is a Communication Strategist Writer Delivery Coach at Storyworksla. She possess expertise in corporate communications, entrepreneurship, public speaking, storytelling, leadership and 45 more skills. She is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe her as "I first met Barbara three years ago during a coaching session organized by the Coulter Foundation program at the University of Southern California. The session was mandated as a condition of a grant awarded by the foundation to one of my incubation projects. The purpose was to prepare awardees to make status presentations to the grant-review committee. My attitude going into the session was almost cynical because I thought that after 30+ years of making presentations I was extremely good at it. Not five minutes into Barbara’s coaching, I was a total convert. Hidden under her calmness, patience and delightful personal touch is a razor-sharp method that transforms even the most mediocre, boring, obtuse presentations into clear, effective and engaging experiences for the audience. I say this with certainty because in addition to being personally affected several times by Barbara’s magic, I have recommended her to many friends and colleagues. In all cases but one she succeeded in coaching scientists, engineers and “business people” with very rudimentary presentation skills. The one misfire I observed was a particularly stubborn CEO who refused to listen to her, and consequently bombed his presentation to a group of angel investors. I was in the audience, and know for a fact that he would have been very successful had he followed Barbara’s advice. I will continue recommending Barbara to everyone I know until the day she retires. " and "Barbara Seymour Giordano is an outstanding presentation coach. We hired her at UCLA to work with 10 Ph.D. students learning to present their work to the general audience. Barbara got results! I would not consider doing such a program without her in the future - she is that amazing!"
