Trusting us with your scripts is very important to me and our team. After the tense sessions that followed with representatives and royals promising to support one city or another, Toronto ultimately won. Each finalist team was given a short session on-stage to win over the judging panel of princes and other country representatives. Toronto, Canada and Bogota, Columbia also presented. Lima was one of three finalists for the right to hold the Games. An amazing speech coach, Dia Bondi, and I worked with a team of 9 presenters including the Mayor of Lima, several government Ministers and Olympic athletes to fine-tune their presentations. I flew to Mexico to work for a week coaching the “Pan American Games 2015” team from Lima, Peru. One of my favorite experiences was in 2009. My skills help them better deliver their message to their clients- and that makes me proud to contribute. On the other hand, I can work much closer with executives-like Sun and Union Bank’s CEOs-to help craft their speeches and work with them on their presentation and delivery. Still… knowing that people at this level rely on my skills is a great rush. And while I’ve shaken President Obama’s hand and got a photo, I often only get a peek at these political speakers from down a hallway as their agents whisk them backstage on to the stage. Both the President and the First Lady have very detailed instructions on how the Presidential teleprompter mirrors are placed. However, their advance team has worked with me closely to ensure everything is right. Some presenters, like senior politicians, just run in, deliver their speech and then disappear into a waiting limo. It’s always an honor to hear who I’ll be working with next.Įven though I’m closely contributing to their speech and performance on-stage, I may not have direct contact with the speaker. I’m proud of my clients over the 20 years of teleprompting. I imagine it helps with the pedigree and trust.
