speechwriting & speech training Imagi
One of KohlQuest's most renown communication hallmarks is its unique "concept to conclusion" approach to oral presentations --- a totally integrated and personalized planning strategy that puts the full force of Kohl's experience, musicality and creativity into every speech assignment she accepts.

When the project is a speech, Prudence Kohl does more than write a speech.  She orchestrates it.  If requested, she also will train you so you will be absolutely confident in your ability to deliver the performance you desire and deserve.

Here's something else you can be absolutely confident about --- KohlQuest's anonymity as your ghostwriter.  This is an inviolate promise.  At no time and for no reason will the author of your speeches be revealed.  Never.  Confidentiality remains an absolute at KohlQuest. It has always been that way and it will never change.  Period.

Concept-To-Conclusion: A Five Step Approach

1.

Research.  An informal one-on-one interview to address every facet of the speaking assignment.  Groundwork is laid for a speech preparation strategy, one that clearly defines audience, message and the best speech format to achieve your expectations. This first step includes a thorough discussion of your thoughts and feelings on your subject, your comfort level in trying a fresh approach or a different point of view, and what personal statement you wish to make on the issues you are presenting.

2.

Analysis.  KohlQuest constantly assimilates and analyzes the attitudes and opinions being set forth by leading business people, economists, educators, journalists, scientists, public advocates, religious figures, politicians and pollsters. Before writing a single word, we have gained critical insights on how you think and feel and have positioned your viewpoints with those voices playing a major role in shaping public policies and opinions.

3.

Writing.  Your speech will be written by not only an accomplished writer, but an accomplished public speaker.  And that is a major difference when writing words to be spoken and heard rather than writing words to be printed and read.  That makes speechwriting a simultaneous process --- as we write a speech, we hear it the way the audience will hear it.  The result is a speech that has the kind of conviction that comes from blending facts and statistics with feelings and emotions.  KohlQuest learned a long time ago, if you want to get people to think, first get them to feel.

4.

Training.  When words are written to be spoken, the time spent on training makes sense.  What's more, when training relates directly to each client's personal needs in presenting a specific speech to a specific audience for a specific reason, then you can be assured you will get the maximum return on the time, energy and money you invest in speech training.  No matter what the speech occasion, the training objective is to help you speak from your head and heart rather than from a note card or piece of paper.... and to feel in complete control of the speaking situation.

5.

Presentation.  If requested, KohlQuest is prepared to go on location with you to assure that your path from hotel room to head table is as smooth as possible. Not only will Prudence Kohl review a checklist of the physical facilities (from visual obstructions to electrical outlets) but she will be on hand to evaluate audience reactions to your speech and speaking performance. KohlQuest offers this extra measure because it knows a successful speaking engagement is not only your objective.  It's ours as well.

That's it.
Five signature steps that raise the
art and science of oral presentation
to a new power and focus.

KohlQuest uses the same kind of strategic planning in the preparation of your speech that you would use in the production and marketing of any of your organization's products or services.  Anything less wouldn't be KohlQuest.
