Do you have to present a topic - to customers, the board or your own team? Then it's not just about beautiful slides or a confident appearance. It's about making content Clear, comprehensible and effective to the point.
I have a lot of experience with this as a moderator in the IT and tech sector, but also as a former manager, sales manager, pitch lead and statistics lecturer,
I am therefore happy to support you with your internal presentations, public lectures or customer meetings: together we will make your content understandable, structured - and presentable.
In contrast to traditional rhetoric coaches, my focus is not on body language or voice training. My coaching revolves around "What" and the "How to tell a story" - not about "how to work". My goal is: didactically well thought-out, understandable and appealing presentations.
Presentation coaching is suitable for anyone who has to present content convincingly in the IT world - and this is a very diverse field: from executives & division managers to solution engineers & sales consultants as well as internal project managers, developers & tech speakers - presentation coaching is suitable for anyone who is entrusted with a presentation.

Together, we analyze your presentation and identify the statements that are really relevant for your audience. In doing so, we streamline the superfluous, sharpen the argumentation and get your message across clearly and convincingly. As a former IT consultant and current moderator in this field, I can very quickly see which aspects are really important and which can be neglected.
We develop a common thread that takes your audience along with you - from the introduction to the arc of suspense to a convincing conclusion. A good structure not only helps the audience to understand, but also helps you to present. From my experience with IT events and as a successful pitch lead in advertising agencies, I know how important clever dramaturgy is to make even complex content tangible.
We work to prepare your content in such a way that it remains understandable and comprehensible - even for listeners who are not so familiar with the topic. In doing so, we make sure that the technical depth is retained, but is made accessible through clear language and appropriate examples. I have learned how important this is, especially in my work as a statistics lecturer, and I apply it every day in my work as a moderator.
How we make your presentation better
Would you like quick, qualified feedback on your presentation? Then the Quick Check is exactly what you need.
Together we will go through an overview of your presentation: You present your content to me, we analyze the structure, argumentation and impact - and in a follow-up appointment I give you specific tips on how you can make your message even clearer and more convincing.
You will receive:
a neutral and professionally sound view from the outside
Practical suggestions for optimizing structure, comprehensibility and relevance
Notes on possible streamlining or additions to content
The aim: to create a clear picture of this with manageable effort, where you stand and how you can specifically improve your presentation.
If you don't just review your presentation, but really develop further intensive coaching is the right format for you. Together, we work through the content step by step, restructure the argumentation, develop alternatives for the presentation and refine the impact of your message - in terms of content, narrative and the accompanying visualization.
What we do exactly:
Together we analyze the goals, target groups and impact of your presentation.
Together we develop new ideas for the structure, the arc of suspense and the storyline and, if necessary, work conceptually on your slides
We rehearse key parts of the presentation and I give you feedback on your presentation style.
Coaching is geared towards your needs and can grow flexibly - from selective sparring to complete content development. Accordingly, this form of coaching is agreed individually and billed on an hourly basis.
