Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction
Having a successful business career, I became a Performance Coach dealing with Executives (and up and coming Executives,) Athletes, Actors/Producers/Directors and individuals who want results 'Instantly & Consistently.' I also helped the "ordinary that wanted to become extraordinary" as a Life Coach, Public Speaking Coach, Career Coach, Life Coach and in this 'New World" a Mental Health Coach over 2 decade ago. Presently, I am the Founder & CEO of an International Firm and found what we all want to find which is "peace of mind" in our personal lives! I learned the nuances of what to do and not to do to overcome obstacles and reach ones goals. I believe as a Coach, I am partnering with my client(s) in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Please take a look at MY PROFILE and REVIEWS as I speak to groups internationally on all different subjects; it addresses the value added I bring to my clients with experience, credibility and results. I have many clients dealing with so many different issues which has given me the formula that allows me to service all types of request, challenges and goals. I do something most Public Speaking Coaches, Life Coaches & Career Coaches (& Motivational Speakers in preparation for an event or conference) will NOT take the time to do; that after a session and prior to the next session, I welcome my clients to email me anytime if they have any thoughts or concerns or just want some input. I do NOT charge a dime more for outside help I give. Though it takes a lot of my time, I want my clients to have all the ammunition they need to be prepared and move forward prior to a Session with me or a Motivational Conference that I will be speaking at in their area. My rate is more than fair for someone with my many years of experience. I am results-oriented Coach and/or Speaker not an efforts-oriented one. Many times when a client is considering a Life Coach / Career Coach / Motivational Speaker, it is beneficial to talk briefly on the phone (free of course) to see if you feel a compatibility with the Provider and if the Coach has the business acumen you believe will help you overcome your challenges and reach your goals. I set up a time to talk;my clients just email me. I've been blessed to have been a Wall Street Investment Banker, going to Hollywood and Producing Films/TV, and being an executive for Companies in Finance/Journalism/Tech Co. among other professional platforms which allows me practical experience to my services not theoretical ideas. My goal is not to make a lot of money for myself Coaching! I have a great career. Loving and being successful both monetarily and personally made me realize that I can help others which, is most important to me. I believe in the philosophy, “each and everyday to do something for someone and expect nothing or little in return”. However, I get so much back, especially by the successes of my clients - changing their lives. I think I am arguably the best Life Coach, Career Coach and Motivational Speaker in NYC due to my experience and exposure in many industries; dealing with many Executives, Entrepreneurs and Corporate Heads; being still in the “real world” as an Executive, having worked with many clients with similar challenges and goals as a potential client and thinking more “Out of the Box” than I believe my fellow providers; I know shortcuts that will help you figure out the next step and make it happen quicker. My office is at Park Avenue and 40th Street but obviously in this new normal we do ZOOM SESSIONS. As a Master Coach and Speaker, it allows my clients to learn how to find their professional and personal passion. In public speaking, as in any form of communication, there are five basic elements often expressed as, "Who is saying, what, to whom, and using what medium with what effects?" The purpose of public speaking can range from simply transmitting information to motivating people to act and simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to read their audience and not only engage them but also be able to read them. The power of a truly great presenter is the ability to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them. Public speaking can also be considered a discourse community. Interpersonal communication and public speaking have several components that embrace such things as motivational speaking, leadership/personal development, business, customer service, large group communication, and mass communication. Public speaking can be a powerful tool to use for purposes, such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, translation, or simply ethos. I WILL TRAIN YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AND GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS TO A SMALL OR LARGE GROUP. UNDER THAT UMBRELLA, THERE ARE AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF NUANCES WE CAN WORK WITH TO CREATE, EXECUTE AND DELIVER RESULTS! There is nothing more fulfilling than to change someones life for the better. As I have been blessed to learn what works and doesn't work from years of professional and personal experience; the nuances that will make a client overcome a challenge or attain their goal is a feeling that is second to none. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to meet people who have certain challenges and things they want to do; and watch them after sessions become stronger and stronger and actually become different people who succeed! There is nothing more wonderful to see your clients find their inner soul and with a little direction attack life with a passion rather than just react. It is great!

As I was a bit skeptical to meet Craig as I had been to another public speaking coach and did not feel I improved the way I wanted to - I was more than excited how he taught me to prepare, deliver and get results far beyond my expectations. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about public speaking as he speaks all over the world himself and transferred his skillset to me in a patient, empathetic and motivating way that made me feel fearless and confident. As someone who gives presentations to clients & colleagues and is a bit timid, I just finished giving my 2nd Speech; the reaction from the audience has been remarkable. As Craig says, you only give a "WOW" speech. I actually feel more confident in my personal life having the "swagger' Craig said I would get once I understood the nuances and subsequently the ability to execute those skills to my listeners (whether 100 or 1). Thank you Craig - you have literally changed my life. To those who might be considering a public speaking coach, I would just say that Craig is a "WOW" Coach.

We needed a Life Coach to help motivate a group of 60 individuals in the insurance business. We didn't know where to look and interviewed many candidates in person & WoW; Mr. Stone came in. He had a confidence, fearlessness and inner strength that was second to none. Here was a Life Coach who just knew what to say and when to say it -- and how loud to say it! He analyzed the room very quickly and knew what was necessary to get these teams up on their toes. I must say some of his ways are a bit unconventional but it just worked. As said in his profile, "it is not the odds that kill us but the spirit that dies if one is not able to fight those odds". He installed that spirit in everyone in the room including upper management and the executives. Once in a while you meet someone who is a little different yet relates to those who are listening and understands what they need to hear to embrace the next challenge and better themselves. As he said, there is a formula that he learned as an executive through the years through trial and error that just works. His stories alone had the group mesmerized and his intensity was formidable. If you can get him to handle your meetings/conventions; grab him as he is well worth it. We couldn't haven't been happier as he even stayed a bit longer to answer individual questions from the audience on stage and alone.

Thank you, Craig! Craig and I are working together on developing my public speaking abilities. For many people, I'm one of them, public speaking is one, if not "the" biggest fear we have. Craig was awesome - he was positive, inspiring, and just really "real" with me about letting my true self do the talking and to enjoy speaking, to own it. After just our first session together, I was speaking more confidently to friends, walking more proudly, and definitely felt stronger as a person all around. I'm not a shy person and yet I was still taken aback by this. Craig says developing these speaking skills will change your life, now I'm a believer. I look forward to working with him on my journey to becoming the speaker and person I want to be and I'm happy to have found him.

During my first session with Craig, I received real-time constructive feedback that immediately improved my presentation skills and overall confidence as a speaker. He focused on what mattered most to me and shared insights stemming from his extensive business knowledge base. Craig is a passionate coach who pushes for excellence and encourages personal ownership of committing to achieving one's goals. I am honored to be under his tutelage and look forward to our next session.
