Executive Presentations

Most presentations are completely awful. We can help you fix them.

VShift is excited to announce the launch to two new initiatives aimed at offering real-world practice and expert coaching to help you find your own voice and make the most of your presentations.

VShift is the co-creator of the new Baruch Executive Presentation Institute (BEPI), which offers programs that combine the best university thinking on speaking and persuasion with hard-headed corporate experience of what works-- and what doesn’t-- in high-stakes corporate and non-profit presentations.

The inaugural program-- Persuading Audiences-- is a four-week, one-day-a-week course that focuses on the theory and practice of swaying audiences. With no more than 15 participants, every session is a combination of personal coaching and group feedback, and each participant will hone a real-world presentation over the course of the four weeks.

The course is lead by VShift's Managing Partner, Will Carlin and the Dean of Baruch College's School of Public Affairs, David Birdsell.

Secondly, we're excited to share with you a new series of podcasts--Presentations in Practice-- hosted by David Birdsell and Will Carlin. In the latest podcast, Will and David compare the crisis management styles of Michael Bloomberg and Chris Christie:
