Winning performances - every time
At Podium we understand that developing your presentation without developing your presenter is a waste of time, effort and money. A presentation is much more than words. It is how it is delivered. At Podium Coaching, we work with executives of blue chip companies as well as young entrepreneurs to make their presentation style powerful. Our unique TalkItOut® technique unites presenter and presentation to create a winning performance - every time.
Podium also prepares you for all media encounters - newspaper, radio and television. We tap into our international media experience to show you how to get your message out effectively. We show you how the media operates, so you can have a productive relationship with them.
The volume of our repeat business is testimony to the confidence our clients have in our pledge of confidentiality.
Customized Coaching
Podium works with private and public sector leaders in business and government. We deliver both one-on-one coaching and group workshops in communication and media skills. All our coaching is customized to the needs and time of individual clients. Whether you are refining an existing presentation or starting from scratch - we can help.
We show you how the TalkItOut® technique makes nervous speakers confident and makes good speakers great.
A passion to communicate
From public utilities to private enterprise; from government to volunteer organizations - Halina St James has worked with decision-makers and opinion-shapers across Canada and around the world.
Podium Coaching was born out of Halina St. James' passion and interest in communication. Based on her broadcast experience Halina began helping executives deal effectively with the media. She has also identified a need to help executives prepare and deliver powerful presentations. In so doing, she developed a specialized technique, TalkItOut®, from her career as a successful television reporter/producer, and from her own experiences as an actress and motivational speaker. Through her remarkable technique she has turned apprehensive speakers into good communicators - and made good ones even better.
