So, think you know what it takes to create rapport and confidence with your audience? Of course you do. Connection, relationship, collaboration...

All that good sounding stuff.

Duh. 

Ok... but HOW? 

We all know WHAT makes for good communication, but most of us don't know HOW to create it wherever and whenever we want. We talk about being "nimble" and "collaboration" and "authenticity" but most of the time feel unsupported in a meeting or thrown under the bus during a presentation. 

Big Time changes all that.

With our training, you'll learn how to be poised and unflappable in front of any audience. Whether it’s taking the podium at a conference or meeting one-on-one with a colleague or client. The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is essential at every level, from your front-line staff to the CEO. 

​
1-1 training is also available.

Improv on the Job
In this interactive talk, your team will learn about the benefits of applying improvisational skills in the workplace—from decreasing stress and increasing productivity, to improving customer service and strengthening relationships. Improv holds the key to unlocking fixed mindsets, building trust, fostering teamwork, and helping your people go from good to great. Get ready to laugh and play as your team gets pulled up on stage to illustrate what makes teams go from good to great. This is like a team-building workshop, but with more butts in seats.


Storytelling on the Job
Are you as memorable in meetings as you are online? When people meet you, do you exceed their expectations and make a lasting impression? A story is the single most effective way to capture your audience’s attention, connect with them, and explain business concepts. Taren will teach you how to tell stories that transform your listeners, your work performance, and your bottom line. Perfect for work retreats and off-sites where you want your staff to be educated and entertained.


Forget Happiness: Get REAL
If you found out that you had only six months to live, what would you do next? Quit your job? Tell that special person you love them? Why isn't your answer, "Exactly what I'm doing right now”? In this moving and unforgettable keynote, Taren tells the story of the first six months she spent working with in hospice care, and what that experience taught her about how to making life and work meaningful, every day.

Group Coaching

It’s said that 80 percent of life is just showing up, but that’s just a B-. Who wants to be mediocre when greatness is just within reach? For your organization to achieve its true potential, your employees must function at their best. Clear communication is the first vital step toward success, but once your leaders have laid out their vision, they still have to motivate the team to work in tandem, day in and day out, to achieve those goals. 

Big Time offers personalized coaching tailored to your organization’s specific needs.
​We’ll help your managers and staff:
create and complete personal and organizational goals
facilitate (and contribute to) effective meetings
increase productivity, decrease the craziness
manage difficult people, and improve their relationships with clients and each other

Big Time helps professionals become dynamic, confident communicators in virtually any speaking environment--formal presentations, group discussions, job interviews, TED talks, conferences, wedding toasts and business meetings.

Whatever the challenge, Taren customizes her training and coaching based on her client's learning style and the kind of speaking practiced in both personal and professional settings.

All classes are held in a fun, low-pressure, non-threatening yet highly challenging environment, and Taren challenges each student with levity, sensitivity and at the appropriate individual gradient. Average class size is 5-8 students, with each individual allotted loads of time to practice and support outside of class. The emphasis is authentic connection and communication, not performance.

Session One - Assessment and Whatchowant? Getting to know you, what you do, who you are and what you want to create from here. Then the class is designed around your individual need.

Session Two - Individual challenges based on week two. Taren designs these for each student based on week one's intake.  We might work on your volume, movement, voice, content, presence, or something else. Whatever your challenge is, that's what we'll address in session two.

Session Three - We'll implement the skills learned in sessions one and two through storytelling. Based on your homework from session two, we will tell stories and learn best practices of storytelling. What makes a good story? How to start, tell and finish a great story. We'll work with "going blank", self -consciousness and other destabilizing blocks to telling great stories. Secret: everything is a story.

Session Four - Integration and new challenges. Based off the first four weeks, Taren creates new challenges for each student based on their ground taken in class so far that are aligned with their overall goals for the course.

Session Five - Impromptu and/or prepared speech. Learn the secret of outlining and presenting a prepared speech with minimal effort or stress. Outline and deliver a speech unassisted. What!? Crazy!? I know. But, it's what you came for, so let's not act surprised. Then… Graduation.

​
"Taren's classes and coaching have completely changed the way I approach my speaking engagements and presentations. She has helped me get out of my own way by teaching me how to suspend my own agenda and truly connect with the audience that's right in front of me." 
Valia Glytsis, Executive Leadership Coach

As a leadership coach, I quickly realized -- under Taren’s expert tutelage -- that not only does improv training improve focus and the ever-elusive "being present", but it also enhances communication in professional situations including team collaboration, influencing others and crisis management.

Both in group settings and individual coaching, Taren's coaching unlocked talents and skills in our team members, resulting in natural and effective communication. We continue to feel the impact within our organization, and facing our constituents.

Leadership Coaching can help you create the life you want.

I've become a coach because all the successes I've had in life have been due to the clarity, connection and support I've received from various coaches over the last 10 years. I can easily say that all of the big changes I've been able to accomplish were conceived and acted on with the support, feedback and accountability of a coach.

When you work with a coach, you take responsibility for your life.

As your coach, my job is to help you see where your fears, defenses and other blocks get in the way of you achieving what you want.

No matter where you're at in your career or on the organizational chart, you become a leader of your own life. I hold open the doors of possibility. It's up to you to walk through.

If you know you want more, if you know there is a bigger, better version of you waiting in the wings ... perhaps it's time to step into the light and start the show.
