Frank Siccone has conducted presentation skills training for many corporate clients. His approach is unique in two significant ways. While he does cover tactical concepts essential to delivering more polished presentations, he takes a much more strategic approach—focusing on what results you want to achieve through your presentation. Secondly, Siccone shifts the model from selling your ideas to facilitating the buying behavior on the part of the audience. This necessitates a good understanding of what motivates purchasing decisions, as well as appreciating different communication styles.

I am so happy that I had an opportunity to participate in your
presentation skills program. Your program provides people with a solid
understanding of how to deal with anxiety, how to prepare your material
and how to effectively command a room with your presence. Since
public speaking is something that can give even the most seasoned
professional anxiety, your ability to cultivate a positive and friendly
education environment that made everyone feel comfortable was impressive. It made what has the potential to be embarrassing and
painful, enjoyable and all the more effective.
