We help you and your people communicate with impact and influence

At 1st Impression Consulting, Inc., we focus on enhancing communication behavior to provide individuals—that’s you and your employees—practical and immediate skills and techniques that maximize your ability to communicate with impact and influence your listeners to act on what you have to say.

What you get from us, isn’t temporary or a soon-forgotten “quick fix”: it’s “learning that sticks.” Our highly interactive keynotes, workshops and one-to-one coaching focus on professional business communication. Making sure that what you say is consistent with how you say it. Specific topics include your preparation, message development, delivery, use of visual aids, handling questions and answers, meeting facilitation, conference call influence and managing of challenging situations. These key components are directly applied to teams or individuals for the following applications:

  • Face-to-face conversations
  • Informal and formal presentations
  • Sales calls
  • Team presentations
  • Interviews
  • Conference calls and webinars
  • Video conferences
  • Meeting facilitation
  • Technical presentations
  • Client service

We will work with you to meet your team’s objectives to fit your company’s training initiatives. This includes helping you eliminate the static that plagues communicative delivery—to persuade, influence or effectively communicate face-to-face with a clear message.

Don’t expect fluff at our sessions or a temporary “high” when you leave. Instead, expect practical skills and techniques that you tune in to immediately in your personal and professional life. One repeat and satisfied client says it best: “Training with 1st Impression Consulting, Inc. will allow you to take a deeper, closer look at who you are, not only as an effective, polished communicator but as a leader.”

We begin by eliminating what doesn’t work so you can realize a positive impact on others right away with your ability to communicate at a whole new level. You’re already good; we’ll make you great!

Communication that affords immediate results is a continuous process that doesn’t occur overnight. It begins with self-awareness: we can’t change a behavior if we don’t know what needs changing. Most of us ask ourselves, “How do others perceive us?” After communication skills training with us, you’ll clearly understand what it is that your listeners see and hear when you speak to them. Your message really does tell a story, and together, we’ll make it the best it can be.
