Saxon Hamilton provided tremendous value by getting both of us prepared
to make one of the most important presentations ever done in our
company. They taught us a unique way to analyze the audience and
to identify listener "hot buttons." They showed us how to stand and
deliver by establishing contact with the audience, getting control
of the room and using audio visual tools as an advantage rather than
a distraction. Most importantly, they were insistent on making sure
that we got our key points across clearly. All of it added up to
good leadership training and made our presentation a great success.
This is the kind of learning that can and should be used in any sort
of important communication from a one-on-one conversation with a
co-worker or client to a lengthy strategic planning presentation,
and the skills can be employed over and over.

CFO
A Technology Company
Saxon-Hamilton recently worked with our CEO and me to prepare us
for a series of first meetings with companies who were interested
in investing in or acquiring our company. So much was at stake and
neither of us had ever paid much attention to our presentation skills.
We needed help with our personal presentation styles as well as our
content.
By the time Saxon-Hamilton had completed an intensive couple of weeks
with us, all I could say was, “Wow.” Our presentation had gone from
OK to great and I had learned how to make an impact and leave the
impression that I wanted.
Looking back, a number of things really stand out to me about the
way Saxon-Hamilton worked and the results they produced. I was surprised
at how quickly the consultants got up to speed on our business. They
asked good questions – the right questions – and as the work unfolded,
the purpose and pertinence of those questions became clear. They
got to know our personalities and, rather than trying to fit us into
some model, they worked with who we are and helped each of us shine.
When game day arrived, the CEO and I were both comfortable, confident
and ready.
I was struck by how the consultants made a personal, emotional investment
in the work and in us. It was clear that for them this was not just
a job. In addition to being extremely effective, they were such a
pleasure to work with. What nice people!
