COACHING

Storytelling & Presentation Coaching by Ian Tyson

Overview:

Next Stage is designed as a “summer intensive” offering of a speaker coaching program, with a small cohort of participants; by Ian Tyson, a 37 year-veteran motivational speaker, author and award winning comedian. It will be focused specifically on stage craft and storytelling. It is a 5 session series of one-on-one sessions with Ian, to help elevate a presenters’ impact and connection through a personally curated series of story notes, pacing and staging ideas and exercises to enhance stage presence and energy.

"For nearly three years I have worked with Ian as I develop as a speaker. His experience, insight, and approach to helping me develop my story telling and stagecraft have been invaluable to my growth as a public speaker. I'd recommend Ian to anyone who is looking to elevate their skills as a storyteller."

- Matthew McKinnon, Professional Speaker

Who is it for?:

Next Stage is for current speakers, coaches and facilitators with a story to tell, and valuable information to share, that long to take their presentations to the next level, through a fresh set of eyes from a veteran speaker and writer. This is a personalized “punch up” of their material.
It is for business leaders who often present to customers or staff in their work, that want to add more story and impact to their presentations to captivate and inspire those they share with.
It is for new/up-and-coming speakers who are looking to make the leap into the business, and want to structure a meaningful show that will be compelling and memorable for audiences. This intensive will offer and building of their show from the ground up to both inspire and entertain.

How does it work?:

After an initial consultation meeting (Zoom based or in person if geographically able) to get to know each other and establish needs, Ian will create personalized assignments and a game plan to get you to your goals. A combination of re-writing material, live brainstorming, and homework, participants will work with Ian to find or refine their voice and message, by either adding story to their content, or vice versa. Together, we will add heart, humour and inspiration to your material.

A series of 5 video meetings will be scheduled throughout the summer, with texts and emails in between if needed to make sure that all benchmarks are being reached. Sessions will look at story building, talk structure, pacing, order, stage craft and much more. By the end of the summer, participants will feel that they have fresher and more connective material to deliver with more confidence and energy than ever before.

“Ian Tyson is a radical confidence builder! I thought I was already a strong speaker, then I worked with Ian Tyson to confidently deliver a next-level speech at the finals of an international speaking competition. With more than three decades of experience, a brilliant sense of humour and storytelling/stagecraft mastery, Ian doesn’t just coach speakers, he transforms them.”
