In my 11+ years as a NYC speech coach, I have discovered the techniques that help businesspeople navigate many difficult communication scenarios. Public Speaking Advantage applies the science of human listening behaviors to stress-test your company’s internal and external messaging.

I made sure their presentations were authentic and persuasive. That’s how you win big business!
Management communications, sales interactions, and media opportunities should all resonate a sense of commitment to your brand and culture. Avoid the trial and error that most companies simply can’t afford.

“Working in the financial industry, it is essential to be able to communicate in a clear and precise manner in order to grow into senior leadership roles. Paul Geiger helped me make small adjustments necessary for me to improve my communication skills. He taught me how to slow down the pace of my speech and use proper breathing habits to sustain my voice. Within a short period of time, my communication skills improved. I am now more confident and it has had a positive impact with people around me.”
“Sessions with Paul Geiger give me the practical tools and confidence that make me feel ready and prepared before a speaking engagement. I especially appreciate his guidance around making my gestures resonate and using space in the most useful way. I’m grateful to have Paul and Public Speaking Advantage as a trusted resource!”
“I present in executive and senior management meetings on a weekly basis and I’m often asked to public speak without much notice in various settings. Although I have read many books on public speaking and watched hours of TED videos, I just didn’t feel I was in full control. A month after working with Paul, an executive told me “looks like you are fitting in very nicely here, perhaps we should start inviting you to some of the board meetings”.
