Professional feedback for public speakers: Analysis with recommendations for improvements

How excellent do you want to be in speeches and presentations?
How skilled are you?

How convincing are you and your messages in speeches and presentations? How do you perform in the 111+ most important presentation skills? I have been analyzing speeches since 1998. After analyzing 14,375 speeches and presentations so far, I can tell you exactly what works and how. Let me give you the feedback that takes you to the next level.

Overview

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Thomas Jefferson

A good starting point: professional feedback with recommendations for optimization

For experts, company representatives, and politicians, such kind of analysis is part of the preparation of an important speech or presentation. In this way, the effect can be explored even before the presentation. Use this immense advantage, if you want to reach your goal.

How do you and your message are perceived? You maybe cannot answer that on your own, we all have our blind spots. Honest and helpful feedback is the exception rather than the rule. The more influential your position, the more you are under observation. And there is significant competition in many areas today. Every word and behavior may be given meaning having consequences. Whether in a supposedly small group or front of a large audience; every word said or omitted can have an impact. Every detail can speak for or against you and your message.

It sounds like a commonplace and yet it is so true and up-to-date: Caution is better than indulgence. Yes, afterward we are often smarter, but then it is too late. Better: With a professional analysis including recommendations for optimization, you will receive helpful feedback before your real presentation. Why should you accept an unnecessary risk and ignore the chance to know what counts before the event? Let be the analysis of a test run the base of constructive feedback.

Elements of the analysis

Karsten gave us feedback to enhance our presentation and spared no detail. I specifically appreciate how he took the time to comb through our content and took the seat of the audience to ensure no stone is left unturned in our pitch. He is extremely generous with sharing his immense experience. Karsten is a very calming presence which puts us at ease. He truly wants the best for his clients.
