Personalized Coaching Program

Imagine making that speech or proposal that is so important for your professional career confidently and fluently.

Speaking in public is challenging

Throughout my professional career, I have had the opportunity to interact with and get to know very different profiles both inside and outside organizations. They range from executives and managers of prominent corporations to entrepreneurs in diverse sectors who have decided to leave their jobs and start their own businesses.

What is interesting about these people is that, even though they are all high-performance professionals and experts in their fields, they tend to share a common trait: feeling insecure when speaking in public, mainly when there is a lot at stake.

In fact, they are well aware that their nerves can play against them. They know that being lost for words, beating around the bush, or digressing can make the difference between getting or not getting that promotion, closing that deal, or seizing that big opportunity.

That is why, when they need to make an important presentation to clients, bosses, investors, or attendees at a big event, they look for the necessary tools and support to gain confidence, communicate effectively, and reach their goals.

I want to get started straight away

I have conceived this program to ensure your presentation is a resounding success. I will be there for you, working side by side from the start until the last applause (or to gain approval for your proposal).

During this process, you will discover how to

Customize your message to ensure your audience is interested in it until the end.

Prepare a clear and attractive speech that helps you achieve your goals.

Structure your arguments interestingly and persuasively.

Make your presentation naturally and charismatically, originating from your authentic personality.

Move on stage to connect with the audience.

Manage stage fright to portray confidence and credibility.

This mentoring process is not for you

If the presentation you want to make won’t provide an immediate economic or business return for you. I’m not the right person to help with talks unrelated to your professional career. For this reason, I only work with executives, entrepreneurs, or professionals who need to present themselves in high-level situations, such as pitching a proposal, requesting funding, or securing a business opportunity.

If you don't have a presentation to make on a specific date. A deadline will give structure to the project.
If you want me to write your speech. The message must be yours if you want to make an engaging and convincing presentation.
If you already have a presentation and only wish to improve your delivery. To add value to your presentation, I must participate in the whole preparation process.
If you want to make somebody else's presentation and need help adapting it to your expertise and personality. The message must be yours if you wish to gain your audience's trust.

As a professional with an executive or entrepreneurial profile, you have the experience and perspective needed to ensure your message adds value. I will guide you through the process to ensure your speech is memorable.

Iceberg Methodology

I base this coaching program on my iceberg methodology, which consists of four phases that will allow us to ensure your message shines and you shine along with it.

Phase 0

Planning

I will give you the keys to analyzing your audience during this first phase. We will also set clear objectives and articulate the core message that will underpin your speech and make it solid, attractive, and effective.

Phase 0

Preparation

During this second phase, we will work on the structure of your presentation and choose the best content to articulate convincing arguments and increase your persuasive capability, thanks to storytelling. I will advise you on creating effective visual aids, and we will work on your fluency through recorded rehearsals and their corresponding assessment.

Phase 0

Presentation

During this third phase, we will focus on handling anxiety to speak fluently, body language to portray confidence and warmth, and audience engagement to ensure they connect with you and receive your message openly.

Phase 0

Perfecting

During this last phase, we will use the recording of your speech to provide you with detailed feedback. I will point out your strengths so that you keep exploiting them and those areas that present room for improvement and the corresponding corrections. This way, you can replicate this method in the future and obtain better results by yourself.

I want us to work together

Before finishing the process, we will record the last version of your presentation on video so that I can comprehensively analyze your strengths and improvement opportunities.

I want to succeed with my speech

Sebastián is an excellent speaker and a great advisor for all of us who have to speak in public in our professional or personal lives. He has helped me on numerous occasions to get much more out of my presentations structurally and formally. His courses are an excellent and fun incentive for all those who want to make a qualitative leap in their communication skills—highly recommended.

Sebastián is a great professional and a marvelous communicator. His training course has helped me reduce my anxiety whenever I go on stage and make the most of my speeches. I want to point out his capability to understand his students’ needs and advise them accordingly. His critical spirit allows him to identify those strengths and weaknesses that we all have when we face a script. My experience has been satisfactory and very beneficial for my professional development.

I want to acknowledge the invaluable support of Sebastián, an exceptional communicator who has helped us clarify and structure complex ideas in the field of risk management. Thanks to his skill in simplifying concepts, we’ve been able to grasp the key aspects of the subject and convey this knowledge in a straightforward and understandable way. Sebastián has a unique talent for turning complex topics into accessible concepts, which has been essential for our team in achieving a more precise and practical understanding of travel risk management. Thank you, Sebastián, for sharing your expertise and helping us move toward more effective communication!

I recently graduated from the Executive Development Program at IESE and was elected my class valedictorian. To write my graduation’s closing address, I had the good fortune to count on Sebastián Lora’s guidance. The speech was a resounding success: it was praised by students, faculty, and the Director General of IESE. Even though Sebastián didn’t know me then, he could grasp the very core of my speech after reading the first draft. That allowed him to make valuable suggestions regarding message and structure, keeping true to my essence. I followed ALL of his advice because Sebastián conveyed his professionalism and confidence from the very beginning. He connected and empathized with me, helping me create a memorable speech. I will contact him again in the future. Thank you, Sebastian!

Sebastián is an experienced, accurate, and compassionate communication consultant. I worked with him and other consultants to prepare for a Toastmasters international speech contest. The excellent feedback he gave me was vital to get the trophy. Sebastián does not only master the theoretical principles needed to work effectively, but he also tries to understand what you are trying to convey as a speaker, which helps you get to the next level. Our collaboration doubtlessly improved my confidence and helped me obtain the best possible result in the contest. I felt constantly supported during those three months that he prepared me, and I’m sure we’ll collaborate again.

It is time to make a presentation that will open the doors to new and better professional opportunities.
