Your presentation is
on the calendar.
Let's get you ready.
You already know your subject. I will make sure the room knows it too.
Three hours of my time, focused on your presentation and your date. The Sprint is $1,500.
"Ray Franklin is the coach every speaker needs. As a 20-year veteran of speaking, I invited Ray to observe my style and tactics, and the results were truly outstanding. He brought out the best in my presentation."

Whatever the venue, the work is the same: your message, your delivery, your date.
It's called a "Sprint"
for these reasons.
- 3 hoursThree hours of my time, focused on one presentation.
- 45 days45 days from the day you sign to use them.
- Sooner?If your presentation is less than 45 days away, reach out anyway. Three hours can fit a short window, and we put the time where it matters most.
From your draft
to a full rehearsal
-
1
Clarify the message.
Identify what the audience needs to understand, remember or do. Build the opening around that goal.
-
2
Practice the delivery.
Rehearse transitions, pacing and emphasis. Spend extra time on the moments that carry the most weight.
-
3
Run the whole presentation.
Use a 60-minute session for a full run-through and leave with specific adjustments to practice before the event.
-
Ready for
your event.
This is how we do it.
Meet on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. Choose any mix of 30- and 60-minute sessions within the three hours.
Send a draft or practice recording before a session for feedback. Call or email with quick questions through the end of your Sprint.
Time I spend reviewing your draft or recording, writing notes, or answering calls and email counts toward your three hours, like the sessions do. I keep a log of the time used, and you can ask for it at any time.
Questions
Can my employer pay?
Yes. Your company can sign the agreement and pay directly. If you are interviewing for a new job, the Sprint is yours to pay.
Is this confidential?
Yes. What you share with me stays between us. No one appears on this page without their permission.
My presentation is online. Can you help?
Yes. Your presentation can be to a room of three thousand or to a webcam. The coaching is online either way, on the platform you choose.
What if I do not have a draft yet?
That is fine. We can build the presentation together from what you know.
Can I mix 30- and 60-minute sessions?
Yes. You choose the length each time you book. A full run-through usually needs 60 minutes.
Is the Sprint one-on-one?
Yes. The Sprint is one-on-one work. A larger project has its own terms. Ask.
How long do I have to use my three hours?
45 days from the date you sign. A Sprint is short on purpose.
What happens if I need to cancel a session?
Give at least 24 hours notice. With less than 24 hours notice, or a missed session, the time you booked counts as used.
What is your refund policy?
Fees are non-refundable once the first session has been attended. If you cancel before attending any session, you receive a refund minus a 10% administrative fee.
Do you guarantee a specific outcome?
No. I do not guarantee scores, ratings or career results. I help you prepare the strongest presentation you are capable of delivering.
How do I get started?
Book a free 20-minute consultation. If the Sprint fits, you sign the agreement and pay through the secure form. Then you book your first session.
Ray Franklin
For over twenty five years, I have coached people who know their subject and need the room to know it too.
I take on a limited number of clients at a time. If we work together, you have my full attention.
"When I was preparing for a high-stakes TEDx talk, Ray and I worked together entirely through a screen. ... He did not try to turn me into a theatrical entertainer. Instead, his coaching focused entirely on practical, observable behaviors."
"Ray's combined skills as a speech coach and audience advocate have helped us execute productive, interesting meetings from Dubai to Singapore. He helps novice speakers succeed, and elevates skilled presenters to the next level."
