The Influence of a Good Coach

At Ty Boyd Executive Communication & Coaching, we offer effective communication courses as well as individual one-on-one coaching. Neither approach is superior to the other, they are simply different. Both will get you started on a path to becoming a better communicator.

"I have worked with clients who have gone form completely avoiding public speaking to thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to present to a large audience. Their confidence grows in leaps and bounds and as a result, their audience sees a magnitude of improvement in their speaking effectiveness," says Anne Boyd-Moore who facilitates Ty Boyd's Excellence in Speaking course in addition to providing one-one-one communications coaching.

Anne's positive approach recognizes potential in every client whether she's coaching in groups or one-one-one. She works with the characteristics and skills that her students already possess, and then coaches them to the next level to get the results that they want and need to be effective communicators.

Our Excellence in Speaking course is a tool used by many companies and individuals who want to reap the benefits of group coaching. A group that comes together in Excellence in Speaking shares the same goal, but the emphasis is on the individual. Not only do participants learn from our experienced faculty, they benefit from the camaraderie and support of the group. But the group does not serve as a crutch to lean on or hide behind; our coaches make specific requests of each and every participant.

Our clients have told us that the shared experience provides them with greater confidence as they realize that their concerns and fears are not unique. The nature of this effective communications course - where participants speak in front of the group several times during the two and half days - promotes powerful group synergy and bonding between employees. As a result, many of our clients use our Excellence in Speaking course as a team building opportunity.

One-on-one coaching works best for clients whose schedules prevent them from enrolling in a course or who want to fine tune a particular presentation skill or speech, or who prefer meeting with a Ty Boyd coach on an on-going basis to work on overall communication effectiveness. Many clients follow up on what they learn in Excellence in Speaking with a little one-on-one time with our faculty.

 "One-on-one sessions are highly personalized," says Anne Boyd Moore, "I am able to hold the agenda and focus on the issues that are specific to my client. There is a heavy emphasis on action and accountability and clients benefit from dialogue as well as reflection."

Coaching someone for performance involves more than technical excellence. A great communications coach is empathetic and patient as well as a good listener and teacher. If you are ready to take your presentation skills to the next level, the faculty at Ty Boyd Executive Communications & Coaching can put you on the right track.
