I Believe Confident Communication Can Change Your World
Hello. سلام .שלום. Привет. Hallo. ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ. Hola. Ciao. Xin chào. வணக்கம். नमस्ते.
In the world of business, language might be less important than you realize. The one thing I hear over and over again from global business leaders is that they can’t quickly and easily understand what it is their teams are trying to tell them. And that’s not a language or a translation issue. That’s a messaging issue.
What actually matters is what you’re trying to say and how you say it.
Who Are You?
You’ve got a hunch people don’t really get what your team is trying to say. Management doesn’t easily buy into your ideas. Colleagues don’t lean in when you talk shop. And the worst part: when you’re presenting, you’re stuck in your head, self-doubting what you say & how you say it.
You want your team to:
Navigate phone calls & meetings with razor-sharp messages
Inject personality into every presentation
Tell stories that turn heads instead of regurgitating dry data
That’s where I come in!
Who Am I?
My trainees often call me a wizard. I unlock the communication patterns that are keeping you stuck. And then I turn them upside down.
I’m Here to Help You:
Get Management’s Buy-In
I'll use a stopwatch to cut your rambling so your boss gets what the heck you’re trying to say in under a minute
Stop Putting Colleagues to Sleep
I’ll get you to tell me a story about that time your kid peed somewhere weird to prove how much you naturally know about storytelling
Really Connect with Your Team
I’ll have you sitting on the floor (yes the floor) for the morning meeting and watch the magic unfold...
Bottom line, I use traditional and some very non-traditional methods to train you to find your right words and the confidence that’s already in you to bring those words to life.
Why They Hired Me

Why Are YOU Here?
I want my team to:
Find Your Inner Charisma
Why your team needs this training:
Trust me, you have charisma. We just have to find it.
You’re here because when you talk, you feel like you’re reading from a script. Your body language is stiff and robotic. You know that what you have to say is good, but you have no clue HOW to say it.
You’ll Learn:
How to comfortably get out of your comfort zone
Techniques to help you play with different sides of your personality in front of an audience
Strategies to expand your range of self-expression using your body, face and voice
Talk Tech and
Keep Them Awake
Why your team needs this training:
Let’s face it - technical information is usually boring. But it doesn’t have to be. Boy, do I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard “there’s no way we can make this presentation compelling”. Not true! I believe there’s ALWAYS a story to tell - even if it’s hard to find.
You’ll Learn:
Proven methodologies for presenting technical information in a compelling way
How to adapt your technical info to audiences with different levels of tech knowledge

Why your team needs this training:

You’ll Learn:
A step by step methodology for creating compelling, story-driven presentations
Strategies to put the presenter (not the slides) in the driver’s seat

You’ll Learn:
A step by step methodology to identify your core message
Communication models for effective messages in a global world
How to create messages that make your audience feel something
What to Say in Your
Job Interview
Why You’re Here:
You’re on the hunt for a new job. Maybe you’re looking to level-up. Maybe you’re looking to join a new industry. You need to figure out how to sell yourself. What’s your vision for the role? Why should they hire you? And most importantly - how will you say all this?

Is it even possible to prepare for unexpected questions? Or for those moments you’re suddenly asked to speak off the cuff? The quick answer is - YES!

Hi there. I’m Talli.
Talli Koren
Founder & Principal Trainer
I’m a communication expert who first discovered the undeniable power of communication as a 12-year-old Israeli talking to strangers at my dad’s Toronto-based antique shop. I was still a new immigrant then, exploring the unique cultural mosaic that is Toronto coming together in this busy market. I remember thinking: “How many languages can you possibly cram into one store?!” It was here I realized I had the gift of gab: I could talk to almost anyone who walked into the shop, even if we didn’t speak the same language. Let’s just say sales went up.
Your Slam Dunk Communication Moments
I went on to a career in business development, trotting the globe as I pitched and presented to everyone from deans in top business schools to producers in the performing arts industry. It didn't matter who I spoke to - I was doing my damndest to make sure they not only listen but also act (aka sign the check). For me, that moment when my audience leans in with curiosity, their ears all perked up and their eyes wide open, is the one I relish. That’s the slam dunk moment I live for.
I love helping global teams get their slam dunk communication moments. Teaching has always been in my bones. I love watching teams build effective messages with the tools I train them to use. But it doesn’t stop there because great messages aren’t enough. We also have to find the confidence that was inside them all along and actually broaden their range of self-expression. So that when they deliver their messages, they will actually be heard.
