 Training in framing & delivering messages, storytelling, media interviews & public speaking |
Thaler and her partners are expert at designing and delivering customized communications, storytelling, presentation, and media skills training to a wide range of people, including legislators, executives, chefs, academics, and Congressional staff. Thaler has trained close to 2000 people across four continents, and she works with clients to identify their individual strengths and assists them in reconnecting with the passion driving their work. Trainees receive highly developmental feedback that allows them to build on their natural communication styles. They leave with the confidence to communicate both passionately and persuasively, and the competence to control the message.
