TIPS TO USE AS YOU PREPARE, FOCUS, DELIVER, AND EVALUATE

WindWord Communications offers services in three areas - Coaching, Consulting, and Content Development. We can help you make a presentation or prepare for a media interview. We can deliver a speech or workshop on media or presentation skills, a series of coaching sessions to guide you to a polished confident performance, or an evaluation report on a presentation. We can develop a communications plan, clarify your message, write the material to express it, or suggest improvements to your last draft. 

On the page, on the stage, or on the air -- your words should soar.

WindWord Communications delivers communications consulting and skills development to clients in business, government and the not-for-profit sector. Gail Hulnick draws on 20 years of experience in the media and 11 years in business, and works with a network of affiliates with specialized expertise.

Coaching and Training 

• Media Skills - We make sure you're strong on the basics, giving you techniques and guided practice that will help you "raise your game" when it comes to media interviews. Our presentation Boost Your Media Smarts™ provides insights that will improve your performance, increase your confidence, and help you to be heard. We can also assist in developing a media relations plan that will allow you to draw on the power of the media to supplement your marketing budget, bring in more business and grow the top line, communicate with the public in a crisis, or establish a new, long-term communications channel.
• Presentation Skills - The ability to deliver a compelling presentation is a valuable skill in many occupations and professions. It can become a productive tool for your company, as you work to raise revenue in an increasingly competitive business environment. Working the Front of the Room™ is a WindWord Communications workshop that assists you in turning every presentation into an opportunity for building profile and establishing recognition for your brand or your ideas.
• Public Speaking - Making a toast at a wedding or a dinner. Introducing or thanking a guest speaker. Standing to ask a question at a meeting or a convention. Taking part in a committee or club. Rise to the occasion, with your nerves under control and a smile on your face, after the workshop or coaching series Well Said: Public Speaking and Other Fundamentals. 
• Voice and Visuals - Concentrate on two of the essential elements of a powerful presentation. Whether a speech, an interview, a podcast, or a business presentation, we can work with you to develop the right sound or make a strong impression.

In all of the skill  areas mentioned above, we also design workshops or coaching session customized for the particular requirements and priorities of a company, organization, event, or individual.

Consulting

• Strategic communications planning - We analyze your needs, your current profile, your goals and objectives, then design a plan that meets the communications requirements for your organization. Alternatively, we can take a role as part of your team and work with you as you move through the planning process.
• Message development - Whether positioning a brand, crafting a speech, or identifying priorities, we can help you to clarify your thinking and communicate the essence of your ideas
• Communications project counsel - We can facilitate the planning and implementation of a project, large or small, either by leading, coordinating, or providing a sounding board.

Content

• Business Writing - We can deliver brochures, articles, reports, newsletters, speeches, websites, scripts, grant applications, or manuscripts that meet your communications goals.
• Editing - We provide substantive editing and copy editing services to bring clarity and impact to the finished material you present to your audience of readers, listeners, or viewers.
