Win the rooms you can't afford to lose.
Talk Shop helps leaders command high-stakes rooms - the pitch, the board meeting,
the moment everything's riding on - by making the room about the people in it.
It's the method behind a billion dollar pitch.
The kind of win that holds.
Storytelling consulting on the Media Brands / Universal McCann pitch
that won GEICO's account, resulting in over $1.2 billion in new business.
How We Work
We work with leaders and teams in the moments that decide things,
like high-stakes pitches, board and investor presentations, media,
and the hard internal conversations.
The throughline: persuasion that serves the room is the only kind that holds.
High-Stakes Advisory
Strategic counsel for the pitches, launches, and moments where the cost of getting it wrong is enormous.
Coaching
One-on-one work with senior leaders before the rooms that matter most — board, media, IPO, the high-visibility moment.
