You’ve got one shot to sell your ideas. But even the smartest, most talented businesspeople struggle to turn their data, ideas, and insights into influential business narratives. We help you do it quickly and with confidence. Since 2001, The Presentation Company’s experiential workshops have helped the world’s top brands tell visual stories that powerfully connect with their audience. As a Master Facilitator, I bring these concepts to life through hands-on training, coaching, and practical strategies that can be applied immediately—no matter your role, level, or industry.Business Storytelling | Data Visualization | Visual Messaging

TPC’s hands-on, highly experiential workshops are filled with interactive exercises, peer and expert coaching, and real-time feedback—because we understand that people learn best by doing, not being lectured to. Our mission is to help people—regardless of role, industry, or level—create authentic, influential, business communications that drive the conversation forward.I am accountable for successful outcomes for all our clients and every workshop participant. I also collaborate with our Chief Innovation Officer to plan and execute the development of our workshop offerings. I lead our workshop delivery organization, assuring we meet the expectations of our customers and delight our workshop participants.I participate in TPC’s Leadership and Strategic Planning team by providing quantitative and qualitative based business insights to drive business decisions and promote smart growth. - Oversee end-to-end workshop operations (budget, holistic programs, processes, systems, etc.)- Planning, goal setting, capacity planning, resource allocation, prioritization- Manage and lead team of employees and contractors- Set workshop evaluation strategy, measurement, insights- Develop and deliver materials, design projects, training delivery- Contribute to business strategyWhen other priorities permit, I like to get into the field a deliver our workshops -- to see what is working and where we can innovate. I've managed four continents so far - three to go, but Antarctica seems unlikely.

At TPC, we believe there are a lot of talented business people that are unable to move their careers forward because they don’t know how to communicate strategically. Instead, they lead with facts, data, and lots of bullet points. We’re dedicated to developing practical techniques and tools to solve this problem. We know that to be truly heard, you must wrap your ideas and data into a compelling visual story – one that contains the right combination of logic and emotion. When you do, any presentation can be transformed into a confident, persuasive, and memorable narrative.
