Executive Communication Coach

Executive Presence & Presentations


 

I specialize in helping leaders and technical professionals communicate in a clear, focused and engaging way.

Workshops

My workshops provide an intensive and supportive environment to adopt a new mindset, create fabulous content and practice your delivery before you have to do it for a real audience. The opportunity to offer and receive feedback in this setting is invaluable.

You can choose from a variety of workshops - executive, sales, town hall, conference, startup pitch - or we can work together to create a unique workshop for your organization's particular needs. I also offer remote workshops.

Coaching

I'll help you focus on what’s important and provide you with the tools you need to communicate in a clear, focused and professional way.

In our sessions, you'll get help with the concrete presentation you're preparing, but you'll also be able to apply the lessons learned to future communication situations.

Remote coaching is always an option.

One of, if not the best workshop I attended ! As everyone, I was a bit skeptical and feared that this would be just another one of the known materials and information presented in the same way type of trainings. It came highly recommend but you never know :) To my most wonderful surprise, everything about Jeanne’s workshop/training impressed me !! Great collaboration, great facilitator, very active and engaged environment which is rare but crucial in remote collaborations, challenging and still enjoyable, lots of knowledge gained and even more important, things put into practice. Simply said , I loved it!! And I really can’t say that very often about other trainings! Thanks so much Jeanne, keep doing what you’re doing!!

Jeanne is an exceptional executive communications coach. A master of her craft, she has honed the ability to lead diverse groups of business people through high-impact, effective training sessions. She has a unique ability to deliver candid feedback with humor in real time, putting even the most nervous presenter at ease. Her highly engaging methodology is easy to implement and generates great results. I highly recommend her as a trainer.

Jeanne’s training on executive and effective presentations was amazing and an eye-opener; hands-on practice sessions paired with one on one and group feedback were managed marvelously. It was a real treat to learn from her. She is a great teacher, listener and guide.
In a nutshell - this should be a core toolbox set for everyone that has to do presentations – or not. Picking up on Jeanne’s advice, ‘Does it have to be a presentation or would an email/chat or meeting do?’
It would be a very valuable recognition element from any manager to provide to their employee!

An outstanding 2 day session by Jeanne in Bangalore for Boeing India! The structured approach to presentations communicated by Jeanne was very refreshing! She kept us engaged with illuminating concepts supplemented with excellent examples and video clips! Thank you, Jeanne!

I would really recommend the Executive Presentations workshop with Jeanne. I particularly liked the feedback she provides on the participants’ presentations as it not just focusses on the soft skills but also on the content. It was amazing how Jeanne took interest in the actual content of the presentation and was asking the right questions to bring out the message more clearly. She brought in the outside in perspective that we needed to hear to understand how someone who is not ‘into’ the topic might perceive our presentation.

If you ever get the chance to experience Jeanne’s Executive Communication workshop, welcome to a game-changing couple of days. As she rightly says, this teaching is not about “Pretending” This is not a theater course. This learning is about “Embodying”. Build the content of your message so it becomes meaningful and reaches the audience. Strip it to the core so it can reach executives, make your points clearer and stronger and eventually help you achieve your goals – whatever they are. We have decided to deploy these sessions to all Sales Managers and Directors.

I had a chance to attend a Presentation Skills Training with Jeanne and have to say it was the best training I have ever experienced so far. Jeanne as a trainer is very structured and organized, but what I appreciated even more was her energy, positive personality, flexible approach and the way the training was managed. I can recommend Jeanne’s expertise to anyone who needs to work on presentation skills, productive communication and structure of the topic to be presented.

I was fortunate enough to attend an Executive Presentations workshop presented by Jeanne Trojan on the 12th and 13th of February 2020 in Dubai. I can say with no reservations that this was one of the top 5 most valuable training events that I have attended. Jeanne was uniquely engaging and the whole event was structured around the practicalities of getting your point across to executive level audiences (though the skills apply to any other interactions as well). The course was full of collaboration and hands on learning, and walking out of it I have obtained skill that I can immediately apply and benefit from. It was noticeable that the aptitude of the whole room lifted in these 2 days. This is something that I cannot say for many other good training events I have been involved in. Looking forward to a future opportunity to benefit from Jeanne’s coaching and I will be following her online material closely.

I attended Jeanne”s Executive Presentation Workshop in Bonn recently and my experience was enriching. My takeaways from the session are - to have a conversation with the audience, be focused, be precise and use data to support my statements. Jeanne is super focused on the group in order to make the training effective within just a two-day time span. I am much better presenter than before.

In addition, I admire Jeanne’s freelancing journey and how she stayed focused on her passion (helping people present better). She’s an inspiration for women in the workforce. Thanks Jeanne.

Jeanne is amazing. She helped me to prepare and practice some of my presentations for conferences. Working with her was a pleasure. She is very creative. It was quite obvious she didn’t do it just as “work” - she was always very passionate and interested in the end result.
