Business and Personal Application

Most of Doug's programs focus in one form or another on effective communication, whether it's in front of one person or 1,000. The exception is his Get Out of Your Own Way keynote, which is purely motivational and inspirational.

Doug Stevenson is different. His background is different. His approach is different. If you want a traditional approach to presentation skills, Doug is not your guy.

Because Doug was an actor, and an actor's tools are words, emotion, mood and relationship, his approach to the delivery of content is refreshingly original. While he is teaching you how to be more congruent, powerful and effective, he is modeling what it looks, sounds and feels like.

Doug works with leaders at all levels, salespeople, human resources professionals, entrepreneurs and professional speakers. His approach is designed to make you more effective at influencing others through the use of metaphors, stories and brilliantly crafted speeches and presentations.

Doug will help you to:

• Develop a story that makes a targeted point

• Frame an abstract idea or concept

• Write a persuasive speech

• Move beyond content delivery to true connection

• Stimulate emotion thereby evoking participation

• Access the intuitive imagination of your listeners

• Be perceived as smooth, polished and professional

• Impress others while influencing them to see your point

• Entertain and add humor to a speech or presentation

• Blow people away!

Testimonial

"As someone who is responsible for leadership development I’m always looking for speakers and topics that will bring value to my organization. As someone who has worked with salespeople and sales managers for many years, I recognize that boring, content heavy meetings just don’t work.

We were looking for a way to bring new life and energy to the way our managers talk to and motivate their sale representatives. Doug helped us realize that it’s all about the emotional connection with their audience much more than the content of a presentation or what’s on a PowerPoint slide. I’ve used Doug Stevenson in leadership development programs and he always delivers. He finds a way to balance good solid content, with storytelling and entertainment and getting people involved. If you’re looking for something different as I was, give Doug a call."
