“I worked with Sharon Merrill Advisors to upgrade my presentation delivery for my company’s pitch deck. With their expert coaching, I was able to deliver a more focused presentation that highlighted my key selling points, as well as demonstrated the passion that I have for my business. I highly recommend Sharon Merrill as a coach for executives with a desire to tell a compelling story in a dynamic way.”

Executive Speaker Coaching

A rapidly growing therapeutics company with a group of disparate businesses sought SMA’s help in communicating its story, which investors found complex and confusing. By developing a fresh narrative that focused on the investment thesis, rather than the minute aspects of the business, and training the CEO to tell the story in a compelling way, the company quickly captured the attention of investors.

Presentation Training

A newly promoted CFO, who had initially dismissed the idea of an executive coaching session as “only for beginners,” sought SMA’s presentation training after he received low marks from the Street on his first quarterly earnings call. Following SMA’s coaching, the CFO was more confident on subsequent earnings calls and received high praise from investors.
