The Three Silent Killers of Business Presentations

Gaps in confidence, clarity, and connection don’t stay confined to the boardroom — they ripple through teams and results, showing up in stalled decisions, unproductive meetings, confusing emails, and misaligned calls.

• Lack of Confidence → hesitation and missed opportunities. With confidence, leaders act decisively.

• Lack of Clarity → muddled messages and stalled decisions. With clarity, teams align and move faster.

• Lack of Connection → disengagement and eroded trust. With connection, leaders inspire lasting influence.

"of professionals agree that excellent presentation skills are crucial to success at work.” (Novoresume, 2025)

(And they're more common than most organizations realize.)

Only 13% of employees

strongly agree their leadership communicates effectively. (Gallup)

The costs are real—wasted time, stalled opportunities, disengaged teams, and lost trust. That’s why we created the Presentation Mastery Program.

Presentation Mastery Program

Build the three core skills leaders need to deliver powerful presentations: confidence, clarity, and connection.

For Organizations

• Shorter meetings

• Faster, cleaner decisions.

• More engaged, aligned teams.

• Stronger trust with clients and internal stakeholders.

• A healthier leadership pipeline.

For Individuals

• Greater confidence in high-stakes moments.

• Clear, concise messaging that lands.

• Stronger presence and stakeholder influence.

• Momentum for career advancement.

When leaders strengthen how they present ideas under pressure, those gains can carry into meetings, client briefings, town halls, and board updates. Over three days, your leaders get focused instruction, guided practice, and feedback designed to help them communicate with authority and impact in presentations and beyond.

Participants receive:

• Expert instruction from a world-class speaker and coach.

• Multiple practice reps with in-room coaching.

• Video recordings of their own speaking for personal review.

• Practical tools and presentation frameworks designed to help build confidence, clarify messages, and connect with audiences.

• One-on-one post-program coaching to support transfer to real work.

"James is the classic multidimensional talent that does not come around often. He is a creative and talented public speaker, a teacher and an inspirational, natural leader. There are no limits to his gifts."

Randie Ellington, Division D Governor, District 57, Toastmasters International

"Dear James, I was very proud of you! As you walked on stage (at the World Championship of Public Speaking). I said to my neighbors, "You could tell he has more stage time and presence than the others. Quite an accomplishment to get that far!"

- Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE, Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker

"James Jeffley is a game-changer. If you’re really serious about stepping into your power and landing into your voice as a public speaker, then contact him. As a public speaker, I’ve had various coaches over the years. However, I’ve had moments with James that I call “transmission moments” due to their impact. James made me believe that I could not only be a good speaker, but a great speaker! He helped me close the gap between being unsure about my voice and knowing that I am supposed to be on the stage. Work with James and get ready for it!" – Rev. F. P., Los Angeles, CA

“I am deeply grateful for James’ substantial contributions to CDG’s leadership development efforts. I can, and do, recommend him highly, and with absolute confidence that he can help other companies that are also intent on developing the leadership capability of their managers and employees.”

Very truly yours,
