“Tim developed an entire generation of customer-facing speakers in our firm, myself included. Beyond his own remarkable speaking abilities, his ability to coach others is simply extraordinary. It also helps that he is genuinely smart enough to grasp complex subject matter at a level that lets him guide speakers to focus on what is truly important. His work created extraordinary value for the staff involved, for the clients they served, and the firm as a whole.”

- Tom Monahan, CEO,
The Corporate Executive Board

Foundational Premise

The role of “natural talent” in public speaking has been grossly overrated. The vast majority of presentations succeed or fail for reasons that are entirely within any speaker’s control.

Oratium proceeds from the belief that exceptional public speaking rests on a number of principles, processes and practices which are unrelated to ‘charisma’. These principles can be taught, learned, applied and mastered.

Conventional speaker training neither understands nor teaches this. Mired in the superficial and limited to the obvious, it may help avoid speaking disasters: It will not create exceptional speakers.

Advanced Presentation Skills for the CEO/Senior Leader

Using proprietary concepts, processes and tools developed over 15 years, Oratium offers advanced speaker coaching for CEOs and Leaders of other fields.

Moving far beyond traditional thinking, Oratium discards the ‘talent myth’, and by taking a balanced approach to presentation design (messaging) and presentation delivery, unashamedly sets about the singular goal of creating exceptional speakers.

By applying the learnable principles, processes and practices of public speaking, anyone can become accomplished, and many can become exceptional.

Extraordinary Public speaking is learned.
