I had five minutes to tell a complicated story. After the content was set, the Speech Coach helped me to focus on composure and key words and to inject emotion through emphasis. With practice, I had tools to tell my story effectively.

The first videos introducing our platform and services were too technical. I was trying to memorize some bad ad copy. Brad helped me ditch the corporate-speak, slow down and share what we built in a friendly and engaging way. I use the same techniques he taught me when I'm on as a podcast guest or giving an interview.

In my time in the Senate I was called a Prairie Populist. IDK why exactly. Except I spoke clearly, plainly, and with conviction.. I gave Republicans hell on their policies and and as the record shows … people agreed. I never lost an election in 40 years. Brad was a writer, strategist.. an important member of my team. If you want to give 'em hell, like I did, Brad can help with your speech and delivery.
