Communication and presentation coaches
People who know the subject and lose the room. The specialist whose explanation is correct and does not convince; the person interrupted in a meeting who never takes the floor back; someone presenting to the board or to an investor knowing they have 12 minutes; someone presenting in a language that is not their own and feeling less intelligent in English. And the leader who has to announce an unpopular decision without outsourcing the blame.
This is not a public-speaking class with a memorized speech and rehearsed gestures. A communication process starts from the question of what you want to happen after the person has heard you, and much of the work is cutting — removing what you put in out of insecurity. Then comes recorded rehearsal, with real material: next week's presentation, not a generic exercise. The first session tends to be uncomfortable, because it involves watching yourself; it is also where progress becomes visible, which few areas offer.
