Dale Ludwig and Greg Owen-Boger have been delivering presentation and facilitation skills training for a total of over 40 years—that’s 25+ years for Dale and 22+ for Greg. We’re often asked if we deliver other types of training. Technically, the answer to that question is no. In the world of corporate talent development, we work in a relatively narrow space.

Practically, though, our focus is as broad as the businesses and business people we work with. In every presentation skills workshop participants prepare and practice delivering real-life presentations.This is essential for us. No fictional topics, no hypotheticals, nothing that wouldn’t actually be delivered back on the job. This keeps the training we deliver as practical as possible, focusing on the unique needs of each presenter and each presentation.

Working in this field for as long as we have, we’ve learned a lot about what it takes for business presenters to succeed and how we can help them achieve that success. The Orderly Conversation book is a result of what we’ve learned.

In 2017 we applied the orderly conversation concept to the world of corporate training in the book, Effective SMEs: A Trainer’s Guide for Helping Subject Matter Experts Facilitate Learning. This new book, published by ATD Press, may be purchased at the ATD Book Store.
