Presenter: Steve Bowman, President of BizClarity
Steve Bowman, "The Pitch Doctor," is an expert in financial and technical presentations, particularly in helping entrepreneurial companies prepare pitches for venture funding. He is a business writer and has published two books. Unlike most speaking coaches, Steve works with the content of the presentation as much as with the delivery. He applies his experience and training as a writer and businessman to help clients find and focus the essence of their business message. Then he helps shape the message into a persuasive communication, whether in the form of speeches, presentations, PowerPoint slides, Web sites, or written reports.
