Consultants aren’t born great presenters - they’re trained. And you can be too. In this episode, we break down what truly sets consulting-style presentations apart. 

You’ll learn how to lead with your recommendation (not a list of options), structure your message using the Pyramid Principle, and share insights - not just information. Plus, discover how to turn presentations into two-way conversations that build trust and drive decisions.

Whether you're a brand-new consultant or just want to sound like one, this episode will help you show up with clarity, confidence, and impact.
