Coaching testimonials

“Superb ability to critique and offer reinforcement...The time spent with Jack Pyle was very useful, helpful and enlightening.”
Robert E. Schiller, former superintendent, Michigan Department of Education

“Jack Pyle's professional consulting in improving my public speaking skills has been tremendous. I sell natural health and wellness care and Jack has definitely made me more believable, which obviously increases sales. Jack is very personable, warm and caring, which makes it enjoyable learning something that most people fear more than death.”
Dr. Kirby Perrault, DC

“Thank you for the fine job you did providing me media relations training. I feel more confident in dealing with the media and in getting my message across in an effective manner. The skills I learned will also be helpful in communicating directly with people one-on-one or in a group setting. I highly recommend your program.”
John Griffin, Associate Director, Associated Petroleum Industries of Michigan

“Prior to our first session I was very nervous about a presentation I had to make for a potentially major client. I never thought I would be able to do the presentation, not only professionally, but also effectively. After our sessions, I felt so much more comfortable and confident about my upcoming meeting. In the end, the presentation went very well, due in large part to your advice and instruction.”
Marianne Primeau, General Manager, In-store Promotion Network, Inc.

“I would highly recommend Jack's program, How to be a Better Speaker, to anyone who has occasion to do public speaking. You will definitely be better than you were when you started. ”
Chuck Gifford, President, Local Business Network


About Speech Coaching

What can I expect from you as a speech coach, Jack?

You will get the value of my lifetime experience working with leaders. I started right out of college when I was hired and trusted as head of supervisory training at a General Motors plant. I was speechwriter for CEOs and senior executives at Dow Chemical, Shell Oil Company and the Michigan Department of Transportation.

I have trained literally thousands of executives and professionals as a speech coach to be more credible and persuasive when they speak. I have been creating and teaching leadership development programs for more than a decade. I am recognized for my problem solving skills, public relations leadership and relationship-building skills. I have created award-winning programs for my clients. If you hire me, you will have a coach who has lived through bad times and good, always striving to become better as a person and as a professional.

Services

As soon as you decide to hire me as your speech coach, we will schedule your first session within a week of your call or email. Our first session on the phone may last an hour or more. After that we typically meet several times in person for training and brief practice speeches. We follow this up as needed on the phone. You may contact me between coaching sessions for brief phone calls or by email with questions.

During our meetings, you will be challenged to stretch and move out of your “comfort zone.” Be open to exploration. However, if I say, do, or request anything that does not feel completely comfortable, please let me know. Feel comfortable to say yes, no, or make counter-offers to requests and challenges. Be open and forthright about what is working and what is not. If you are unhappy with any aspect of the coaching relationship, let's talk about it as soon as possible. While you are free to share information we discuss, I will hold our conversations completely confidential and will not disclose your identity without explicit permission.

Terms

I ask for a six-month commitment when you hire me as your speech coach. If you are serious about becoming an effective and inspiring speaker it will take time and energy. I am paid on the first of the month for speech training and coaching. Frequency of your in-person training is dependent on your goals and the amount of service you desire. At any time during your six-month commitment, let me know if you are dissatisfied, and we will make changes.

Your Commitments

You agree to fulfill the commitments you make during coaching before your next coaching session. This is a key tool in self-exploration and progression. The coaching process is most successful with committed work, because most of the work is done outside the session. If your commitments seem like too much, please counter offer with what will work for you.

How Do I Get Started?

Call or email me and tell me you want me as your speech coach. We will talk about what you want to achieve, and I will tell you if I think I'm the coach for you. You can decide if you want to be coached by me.
