Isaiah has lived two lives.
By day, he's been a business executive since age 22 and grown 3 startups, consulted over 50 businesses from small business through Fortune 10, led product design for 5-star rated apps, and built dozens of teams from 0 to 50 people. His business superpowers:
- Extract fact from the vapor of nuance
- The courage to do simple
- Anticipate audience and customer reactions and motivate behavior change
- Turnaround struggling businesses (get 200% output at 50% cost)
By night, Isaiah has coached speakers and presenters since 2003. He mixes three disciplines:
- Classical Rhetoric for wisdom and mental models of the ancients
- Modern communication studies for tactics to stand out and identify with an audience
- Neuroscience to break down walls of trust and communicate directly to the limbic system and brain stem
What's that mean? It means you get the habits and skills to prepare for every audience (investors, prospects, coworkers, executives, interviews) and every medium (speeches, hard conversations, email marketing, video) and change hearts and minds in ways that last.
Isaiah has coached 10 national champion 1st place debaters and speakers, CEOs, politicians, and everyday leaders to design effective presentations, build out their marketing automation, secure millions in investment from venture capitalists, and figure out tricky talks. No stranger to high-stakes presentations himself, Isaiah has delivered over 1,000 presentations and is regularly booked nationally each year.
