We help you communicate with impact

I faced the challenge of coordinating multiple teams—global, regional, and local—with different priorities and communication styles. As part of the organizing committee, I needed to ensure that Mexico's key messages were visible and that the experience had impact beyond the in-person event. To solve this, I applied storytelling concepts to build a clear narrative with emotional connection, focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and on Mexico's strategic role within emerging markets. That narrative functioned as a common thread to align the teams and generate a coherent and meaningful experience.

It is a super great experience, when you arrive at your presentation and you see the difference that exists between when you give a presentation normally without having support, direction, and advice like the ones you provide us through the course, it is very visible. At the moment of giving your presentation and achieving a great connection with the audience it is impressive, particularly it left me very happy, when I came down from the stage I felt like a peacock.

It is very good to have a method that is already previously clarified, worked out, that allows you to simply adapt it to the rhetoric that you want. It is not something random, it is not to plant yourself on a stage and speak however you feel like. I liked the 1 on 1 sessions because Gerardo drops more pearls of wisdom. What good vibes, the course is super cool. I have also been integrating it as a form of professional practice in my classes. You activate different parts in your audience such as the emotional one with empathy and inspiration. This method has a technical and intelligent part that also seems very good to me. You can take the whole piece of cake of patient attention.

You allowed me to understand that there is always opportunity for change. For me the most important thing is that we benefit someone and that benefit reaches the patients, breaking with the way I was doing things by using this methodology. I had never had a methodology and it is the greatest gift I am taking with me. Since we started with the coaching, I have been making presentations in which I have incorporated this methodology and it is working better for me than the one I was using until 6 months ago. I feel very happy to have had this opportunity. I will definitely recommend it.

It simply opens your eyes. It's as if someone else, in this case you, had helped me see from above. I was in the middle of a maze, believing I was doing well. But with the tips you gave me to polish the structure, the route, the message and the story of change, that helped me a lot. Having a clear identity that we must convey and maintain constant over time was also very useful. Besides, the tips like the use of the camera and backgrounds were really powerful and generated a compound interest that added a lot of value. I really liked it because in the end it's about my brand. I believe greatly in the power of words. In the end we all sell something, and through stories, by making people visualize your presentation in a friendlier way, this makes it easier for them to pay more attention and you can sell your idea, achieving what you want. It impacts my personal life. Maybe I don't make presentations to my wife or my daughters, but I can tell them a story. And I'm taking that from here too. I was waiting for a sign to decide whether to hire or not, and I want to be that sign for them. It's really going to produce a lot for the company, first by helping the group of people who will receive this gift, and then they will be able to pass it on to more people, feeling part of the company. It's a gift for them that will ultimately produce for the company. If you invest in your employees, they will repay you in revenue. We all have to present at some point: to suppliers, internal clients or superiors. Being able to do it in a clearer and more pleasant way, as is done after receiving these tools, generates greater confidence and is appreciated by whoever receives the presentation. In a culture of many meetings, having someone who presents in a clearer way is a win-win: for you, for whoever receives the presentation and for the company.

This is a completely disruptive method. For me it has been a great way to open my mind, explore new alternatives, get out of my comfort zone and start the new challenge of communicating in a more efficient, inspiring and motivating way. It is a system that brings a lot of order and gives a lot of punch to what one wants to say. I give many talks inside and outside the company and you helped me see very important things. Amazing Presentations not only works but works very well!

I have learned to communicate more fluently and connect with the audience using different communication strategies I acquired in the course. These techniques have helped me convey key messages more efficiently. For instance, in one of my talks with professionals from other specialties—I, as a nephrologist, was giving a session to gynecologists—I asked myself, based on what I learned in the course, what common ground connects our two specialties. From there, I decided to build a story that would resonate with both of us, focusing on patients with chronic kidney disease during pregnancy. This allowed me to lower the audience’s guard and create a space where I could effectively deliver the key message: the importance of early identification of kidney disease in pregnant women, due to maternal, fetal, and long-term nephrological complications. I believe that without what I had learned beforehand, it would have been more difficult to make an impact with this audience. At the end of my presentations, I feel I’ve inspired other colleagues. Some doctors have told me that my sessions motivated them to apply the knowledge in their daily practice. This has helped me stay closer to my audience. This is a course that is truly worth it. In our medical training, we usually learn to give presentations through trial and error, following our mentors' examples but without a clear structure. This course gives us the tools to communicate more clearly and effectively.

A concrete example was the presentation I gave at the past sales kick off. I received the second best presentation and more than 25 people approached me to recognize my story, because it had inspired them and called them to action. Additionally, the General Director and the Regional Director recognized me as having an exceptional presentation for its emotional impact and content.

It worked for me inside and outside of Amex to put myself in the place of others and understand them better.

Throughout the presentation I shared the strategy, the tactics, and a more operational flowchart that will guide them down a more successful path to complete 100% of the contract and exercise an additional 20%.

From the first call I took I tried and it worked for me, at the next one it became a supervisor call, but I keep practicing.

I say this from personal experience, not only as a participant, but applying it afterwards with a tough group, in a real moment. It was truly wonderful and even from that presentation many more offers came in an impressive way. I highly recommend it, it can be a bit difficult at first but the reality is that the results in the end are spectacular.

I presented my central idea at the TEDx event that will be on July 15th and they selected me as a speaker, more than anything thanks to the clarity of my new paradigm proposal that I built here.

It helped me a lot in terms of removing uncertainty about what the attention triggers are or what steps exist to tell a story and change people's mindset. Definitely, I consider that this work with the methodology helped me a lot to present better.

I already feel ready to share with women this gift that I have inside! Doing the exercise of writing my method, my vehicle; was for me the revealing moment, the one in which I was able to recover the value of what I know, of what I have contributed. I am eager to continue training, to continue receiving feedback and to discover where this process can take me.

Gerardo Betancourt is a very punctual person, he has great leadership and literally guides you by the hand throughout the course. The workshop is very personalized, he took the time to help the participants with each of their stories and projects.
