Coaching Courses
My Coaching Courses are designed for people to develop the necessary skills to speak effectively in public in order to substantially improve communication, stage performance, and the creation of graphic and audio-visual material in the required areas.
They also provide in-depth advice in Business English, both for mid and high-level management presentations, as well as for executive presentations to top international organizations and institutions.
All of my coaching courses can be supplemented with personal coaching sessions at the client's request, on the specific topics requested.

This is a half-hour session held via video conference to review the specific topics worked on during the second session, both presentation techniques, and the creation of graphic material.

In the follow-up sessions, more depth is gained on specific topics as required. These are full hour sessions at a special reduced price.

Those who have completed consultancy courses in communication techniques can opt to do follow-up sessions that go into specific issues in more depth, as required: stage presence, content, speeches, or event structure and development. These are held sporadically or as part of a refresher programme. They are also arranged on demand, are of variable duration, and are planned in a personalized way according to the specific points to be expanded on.

Face-to-face sessions
These sessions are exclusively face-to-face and have a flexible duration of at least one hour, and a maximum of two hours, depending on the objectives and activities to be carried out.
During these sessions, the main aspects of public speaking techniques are addressed, and several evaluation rounds are planned as required, with break times included.
The Business English section is part instructional and part conversational, and key aspects of expression skills, specific vocabulary and pronunciation are covered.
Personal Executive Coaching is also included as part of the course.
Special Course for Groups – PEG
The Special Instruction Course for groups is designed to help people develop public speaking skills quickly and efficiently, with the main aim of substantially improving communication in any areas required, whether for work or personal reasons, from a presentation to a small or large event.
The PEG course involves two face-to-face, fully personalized sessions. The first session is held in a group with a maximum of five people and the second session is individual.
The group session creates a situation that is closer to reality because of the presence of an audience, and opens up the enriching possibility of receiving feedback from other participants.
The group session can also be carried out at a small theatre with stage, audio and lights, which is a very effective way of reinforcing learning, especially in terms of the mastering space and body language.
Course Structure
First session
This session lasts four hours, and involves a comprehensive and in-depth presentation on public speaking techniques lasting an hour and a quarter, a fifteen-minute break, an evaluation round with three participants, a ten-minute break, and evaluation round with two participants, followed by a brief summary session and close.
The evaluation rounds are twenty minutes long per participant and include performance and feedback, with the idea of beginning to put into practice what has been learned, and determine which areas of improvement to work on in the second, private session.
Second session
This is a private, one-hour session to consolidate learning, which includes two evaluation rounds and a section on graphic material creation, if required.
Follow-up sessions
The follow-up sessions go into more detail on specific topics, as required. These are full hour sessions at a special reduced price.
The PPA Refresher Course is also available for those who have completed the PIP, the PDP or the PEG, with specific material and at a special price
(See course information).
Refresher Course – PPA
The PPA Refresher Course has been designed to further develop public speaking skills, and to maintain regular practice in order to consolidate communication skills in the specific fields required.
This course is recommended once or twice a year, depending on how frequently you are generally involved in public speaking.
The PPA course is a personalized, single session of exclusive dedication, using specific graphic material.
Course structure

It consists of a brief but concise review of the main aspects of public speaking techniques, and one or two evaluation rounds as required, including a break.
As an interesting side note, the abbreviation PPA has several meanings, but especially in the field of education – PPA is the time dedicated by teachers and instructors during their daily schedule to plan the activities and design their teaching courses, in order to avoid work overloads.
It is also very common in the medical field.
