Coaching That Holds Up Under Real Pressure
GK Training has coached candidates through national presidential debates, preparing them for some of the highest-stakes live communication moments there are.
CASE STUDY
The Yang Presidential Campaign
In his first Democratic presidential debate, Andrew Yang spoke at a pace that made it difficult for his ideas to land. At over 7 words per second, clarity dropped and key points were lost. This case study shows how adjusting delivery changed how his message was received.
Three Ways to Work With Us
Clients typically engage with GK Training one of three ways.
Single Session
Communication Brush-up
In this hour-long session, participants set a baseline by completing a role-play of a hypothetical communication situation, which we record with the participant’s smart device and then review together. Building off the video footage, the GK coach takes the participant through a series of drills like this one and adjustments to change unhelpful habits and reinforce good ones. We’ll then ask the participant to role-play the same hypothetical situation again, this time using the skills they’ve developed through the session.
Comprehensive Individual
Coaching Package
These sessions typically take place over the course of four months with two, hour-long sessions per month. After an initial baseline evaluation, the GK coach will develop a custom-built training program for the participant tailored to developing new skills based on their communication needs. We use our extensive suite of kinesthetic drills (here's an example) to equip participants with the tools they need to become better, more effective communicators. Our comprehensive coaching also includes access to a suite of GK Online programs, GK’s proprietary training app, Question Roulette, and our entire library of kinesthetic drills. startup founder learned to make her pitch about the listener, not herself.
Open Ended
Engagements
For some of our clients, coaching might continue for a period of years. For these communicators, coaching sessions may be as few and far between as one session every quarter or six months. These are often professionals at the top of their field who know that no matter how good you are you can always improve. These are Deans of Ivy League institutions, managing partners of global law firms, heads of global charities, and founders of the most active venture funds in the world; but it is useful for anyone.
What People Say After Working with GK
Feedback from senior leaders who have trained with us over the last fifteen years.
The post-it drill helped me organize my ideas clearly and make sure I covered every point without skipping anything. The built-in pauses gave me time to breathe and stay calm, which made the entire presentation feel structured and under control. I received very positive feedback from everyone in the room.
After attending the GK Executive Presence Mastery program in NYC, I felt more confident in my oralist skills and thoroughly believe that in the span of two days I was able to improve greatly. Not only did GK help with the delivery and conciseness of my speech, GK also helped me improve the structure and content of it. It was a great experience that has truly changed my view on how to properly develop and deliver engaging speeches and presentations.
GK Training's Executive Presence Mastery course was one of the most practical public speaking programs I've been through. Watching people transform their speech and delivery in just two days, through sharp instruction and real-time coaching, was genuinely impressive. As a coach and facilitator who has experienced a range of programs in this space, I walked away with fresh insights and tools I'm already applying in my own interactions. Highly recommend.
