Companies lose millions, if not billions, of dollars a year because of poor communication. And yet to this day, communication skills training typically takes a backseat to development programs that are seen as having a direct impact on the bottom line. But what could be more bottom line than enabling people to make more sales, speed decision making, drive successful projects, run efficient meetings, and boost employee engagement? Read More > There are many communication training firms. But few of them customize their offerings to your team’s needs. Nor do they offer research-based, targeted training for specialized groups, such as content experts who need to communicate highly technical data or pitch ideas to senior management. Fewer still offer a proven communication framework that can be used across your organization. Our expertise is in knowing how to turn ordinary communicators into superstars in the shortest possible time — and then, offer support and resources to ensure they can continue their learning journey. The result: People who know how to cut through the data fog, drive decisions through the pipeline, sell products and ideas, slash meeting times in half, and forge stronger relationships inside and outside the company.

As Dr. Gwen Acton (author of Leadership for Scientists and Engineers ) explained during a recent PowerSpeaking Live! , moving into a leadership position turns your voice into a megaphone. Your words, once just data points among peers, are now amplified and scrutinized. And their impact often has much more to do with human behavior than data.

Guides, Tools & Articles Equip yourself with proven techniques for high-stakes communication and leadership engagement Why Choose PowerSpeaking, Inc We believe that everyone’s voice deserves to be heard, and that everyone can learn how to become a more powerful communicator. What sets us apart 40+ years of working with Fortune 500 companies that trust us to listen and deliver 1.5M individuals and teams upskilled worldwide 99.5% of our clients say they recommend us to colleagues Engaging workshops, personalized coaching, and on-demand resources Describing our “secret sauce,” one client said, “Working with other vendors is transactional. Working with PowerSpeaking is transformational.” Teams come to us with impressive skills in their areas of expertise. Yet they often lack the confidence, skills, and mindsets they need to be powerful presenters and communicators. Their managers know that ineffective communication wastes time and money. Critical decisions are stalled, projects veer off course, and working relationships suffer. When people learn to communicate effectively, share ideas and perspectives, and listen actively, everyone in an organization benefits. Good ideas are more likely to find wings, critical projects move faster toward completion, company goals are met, and people feel heard and valued. In other words, transformation. How we do it Our expertise is knowing how to help people make the transformational journey from ordinary to extraordinary presenters and communicators—in the shortest possible time. Whether your team needs fast, focused skill development from one of our 2-hour PowerBlox™workshops or a more comprehensive, tailored, multi-program Learning Journey, they’ll benefit from: The most recent research in business communication, plus our primary research and interviews with executives and industry experts Sophisticated adult learning models The most recent research in business communication Step-by-step behavioral techniques for learning that lasts Video recording with private, personalized coaching in our comprehensive programs Proven programs in varying formats: face-to-face or virtual, small to large groups Personalized feedback and coaching Your team can expect an unforgettable experience led by Facilitators and Coaches who thrive on seeing clients transform their communication skills. What’s it like to work with us We’re a fun, innovative, diverse team of expert facilitators and business people, many of whom started out in different careers. Just to name a few: a lawyer and pharmaceutical sales rep; several engineers, stage actors, corporate managers, and journalists; a math teacher; executives in banking and sales; a psychologist; and a number of organizational- and learning-development leaders. Different experiences, different perspectives—but everyone at this woman-owned business shares a passion for PowerSpeaking, Inc.’s mission: We empower technical teams and leaders to drive business success through clear, confident, and impactful communication. Learn more about our Management and Staff , our global Facilitators and Coaches , our Board of Advisors , and our complete Program and Services offerings . Our commitment to an inclusive, sustainable world Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is woven into everything we do—from the way we design and deliver our programs to how we collaborate with our customers, partners, and employees. PowerSpeaking, Inc. is active in, and CEO Carrie Beckstrom is on the board of, ISA–The Association of Learning Providers (ISA-ALP), the leading industry association for learning providers, whose mission is to improve the world of work. We’re also dedicated to taking meaningful actions toward a net-zero business and sustainable practices. Here are a few examples of our ongoing efforts: We’ve partnered with premier carbon accounting firm Rye Strategy to measure and reduce our carbon footprint, and to invest in a diverse range of global offset projects. We’ve created an internal Green Committee to drive and monitor ongoing sustainability initiatives. Staff is given one work day per year dedicated to Volunteer Day, where they contribute their time to everything from local food banks to conservation projects. Our story It started in 1985 when founder Rick Gilbert left his corporate training job in Silicon Valley to start his own company. His passion was helping people break through their fear of public speaking, find their voice and their own passionate message, and deliver it in a way that moves people. Four years later, Rick’s partner Mary McGlynn joined him in running the young company. They worked out of their ground-floor den, and Mary says, “We’d often be working to the raucous sounds of our small daughter and our office manager’s daughter playing upstairs.” From the beginning, we strove to create an energizing environment for expressing ideas, creating community, and sustaining connections with the extended PowerSpeaking family. Fast-forward to 2025, when President and Owner Mary McGlynn retired, transferring ownership of the company to PowerSpeaking, Inc. CEO Carrie Beckstrom and Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing David Azevedo. With this next-gen leadership transition, the company is primed for growth and an expanded global reach. With more than 1,500,000+ people trained worldwide—and counting!—we carry on the same passionate drive to help teams and leaders boost their impact on the business by becoming clear, confident, high-impact communicators.

BIOTECH: How to Pitch a Biotech Proposal to Decision Makers How to Pitch a Biotech Proposal to Decision Makers by the PowerSpeaking, Inc. Team     Apr 30, 2026 6:57:35 AM Tweet To present complex biotech data to senior executives, lead with the bottom line, speak to business impact, and structure your message around what decision makers actually need to approve your proposal. Scientists who master this shift win faster approvals, stronger executive relationships, and more resources for their work. What You'll Learn This article breaks down how biotech professionals can communicate high-level science in a way that resonates with executive decision makers. Key topics include: Why the executive mindset is fundamentally different from a subject-expert mindset. Four strategies for framing biotech data the way executives think: leading with outcomes, using the Executive Framework, demostrating executive presence, and managing difficult dialogues. How our program, Speaking Up: Presenting to Decision Makers®, help presenters develop these skills. A step-by-step framework for preparing your next executive presentation. The Challenge: Executives Don't Think Like Scientists In the biotechnology sector, progress is measured in data. A spreadsheet showing positive results from a Phase II trial or a chart detailing enhanced bioavailability can represent years of dedicated research. But the data alone rarely moves decision makers. The disconnect isn't about intelligence or interest. It's about mindset. Executives are focused on business outcomes, risk, and strategic alignment to company goals. They're not in the room to be educated on methodology; they're in the room to make a decision. As Markus Zirn, SVP of Strategy and Business Development at Workato, puts it: "You have to throw out everything you learned from traditional presentation training. It's not about making a speech that inspires, persuades, or leads. It's about raw decision-making." When biotech presenters walk in loaded with data and walk out without a decision, the science isn't the problem. The communication is. Four Strategies for Presenting Biotech Data to Decision Makers Effective executive communication isn't about watering down your science. It's about framing it in a way that maps to how executives think, decide, and act. 1. Lead with the Bottom Line Most scientists are trained to build toward a conclusion, walking the audience through methodology before arriving at findings. Executives need the opposite. Start with where you want to end up. Don't say, "We've been studying the pharmacokinetic profile of this compound and have some promising early results." Say, "We're requesting $750,000 to move this compound into Phase III, based on a projected $2M return and a clear path to FDA submission within 18 months." That's the framing executives can act on. State your ask and your outcome up front. Then support it with only the clear, brief data that matters to the decision—not everything you know. 2. Use the Executive Framework to Structure Your Content Data and your ask need structure. Without it, important findings get lost. The Executive Framework taught in Speaking Up: Presenting to Decision Makers® gives presenters a clear way to organize their content around what executives care about most. The structure works like this: open with your bottom line (the decision you want from them), then provide the minimum critical data needed to justify it. Organize supporting points around business impact—revenue, risk mitigation, competitive position, or patient outcomes. Anticipate the questions you're likely to face and address them proactively before they derail the conversation. For biotech leaders, this might mean translating a positive trial result into what it means for the pipeline timeline, what regulatory risk it removes, and what commercial opportunity it creates. Instead of explaining the mechanism of pharmacokinetics in full, describe it as "the journey a drug takes through the body," and connect it directly to why it improves patient adherence and reduces dosing cost. Keep technical detail available for questions—but don't lead with it. The 10/30 Rule is a practical guide here: in a 30-minute slot, plan for 10 minutes of structured content and leave the remaining 20 for dialogue. Executives expect and value that space. 3. Develop Executive Presence How you show up matters as much as what you present. Executive presence is the combination of confidence, credibility, and authenticity that signals to decision makers that you are someone whose recommendations can be trusted. For scientists presenting technical data, this often means shifting from "presenter" mode — where you are delivering information—to "facilitator" mode, where you are guiding a conversation toward a decision. That shift changes everything: your pacing, your eye contact, how you handle interruptions, and how you respond when an executive challenges your assumptions. Relatable analogies are a tool for presence, not just clarity. Describing an mRNA vaccine's function as delivering a "recipe" to a cell doesn't just make the science accessible, it signals that you understand your audience. Clean, purposeful visuals reinforce the same message: you have done the work of translating your findings into something decision makers can use. 4. Prepare for Dynamic Dialogues and Disruptions Executive meetings rarely go as planned. A board member may push back on your timeline.

Well then, welcome to an exciting journey toward your stretch goals!’” -- > Gwen Acton, PhD CEO, Vivo Group I work with scientists, engineers, and technical leaders in expert-driven organizations where authority comes from expertise, not hierarchy. In these environments, smart, capable people can still get stuck, not because they lack skill or motivation, but because leadership capabilities aren’t keeping up with growth and complexity. My own journey bridges science, business, and leadership. I earned a PhD in biology at MIT in a Nobel Prize-winning lab, taught at Harvard, and then shifted from research to helping organizations unlock the potential of their leaders. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked with more than 5,000 leaders across the SciTech sector—from Fortune 100 corporations to mid-sized innovators and research institutes. Today, as CEO of Vivo Group and author of Leadership for Scientists & Engineers, I focus on strategic leadership development: • Preparing R&D leaders to navigate complexity and influence across functions. • Equipping technical experts to step into leadership roles with confidence. • Leveraging AI-powered leadership practice tools to embed skills that stick. What drives me is simple: helping science and technology organizations succeed by ensuring their leaders are ready to inspire teams, break down silos, and bring innovation to market. -- > Shveta Miglani, PhD HR Talent Leader/Learning & Development Executive Shveta is a seasoned talent development executive who has dedicated her career to empowering individuals and organizations to reach their full potential.
