Transform intelligence into influence

You've hired great talent. But when it comes to presenting - whether speaking up at a meeting, briefing a client or business development - many bright professionals struggle.

Maybe your star performers can't summarize ideas, or perhaps they aren't reading the room. Presenters and their colleagues leave deflated, and no one is ready to make a decision.

We work with companies, associations, and private equity firms, helping their teams reach their potential through communication training and coaching.

We train for business results

Your team's lack of confidence, or struggles to read the room might be driving you to support them with presentation training. But we can do more than help them with performative aspects of their delivery.

We get to the root cause of speakers' hesitation and empower them to be more strategic and results-focused whenever they present.

What outcomes do you need?

  • Better decision making

  • Accelerate business development

  • Retain and develop top talent

  • Greater ROI on webinars, panels and keynotes

  • Faster and fewer meetings

I've been telling everyone in leadership - if we are to reach our biggest goals, as a company we must become better communicators.

This training is for every leader, and their direct reports.

Even if you think you're a good speaker, you will learn something that will make you better.

Ashley Berrang, Information Technology Industry Council

"Portico's training workshops are actionable and easy to implement, which makes them an invaluable use of time and a worthwhile investment.

We are better prepared to read and involve the audience, and to juggle the unknowns that come

about in our constantly changing industry.

My clients hired Portico to help them tell compelling stories while getting key selling points across in the 60 mins investors generally allocate for a meeting.  Junior team members needed to build confidence and take more friendly reps, while senior team members needed blind spots pointed out. 


Two clients raised over $400 million, almost entirely over Zoom, from sophisticated investors, including an Ivy League endowment, fund-of-funds and family offices.  Portico’s initial seminar gave my clients a push in the right direction but the one on one coaching helped each presenter jump multiple levels of skill.
