Jerry Weissman Biography

Jerry Weissman is recognized as America's top presentation consultant and speaking coach. He founded Power Presentations, Ltd. in 1988 and later renamed the company to Suasive, Inc. in 2017 to better align with their mission of making an impact and influencing outcomes. Based in California, USA, Weissman delivers his speeches in English and specializes in executive coaching and presentation skills.

Over the past 30 years, Weissman has expanded his coaching services from focusing on IPOs to encompassing both public and privately held companies. He is highly regarded for his work with top executives at major companies such as Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Yahoo!, Intel, Intuit, Netflix, Dolby Labs, eBay, and many others. His books, including "Presenting to Win," "The Power Presenter," and "In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions…When it Counts," have established him as a leading authority in persuasive presentation techniques. Notably, his book "In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions…When it Counts" also has a companion DVD titled "In the Line of Fire: An Interactive Guide to Handling Tough Questions."

Weissman's keynote speeches are renowned for their interactive elements, such as exercises and video clips, to keep the audience engaged. Some of his popular keynote programs include "In the Line of Fire, Part I: You're not listening!" and "The Art of Telling Your Story." His techniques are particularly focused on enhancing active listening, effective response strategies in high-pressure scenarios, and teaching the art of connecting emotionally with any audience to inspire action. Weissman advocates for ditching PowerPoint templates in favor of more compelling storytelling, using illustrative case studies from public figures like Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan. His clients credit his coaching with not only improving their presentation skills but also significantly enhancing their company's stock prices and IPO valuations. Additionally, Weissman's "Power Presentation" keynote outlines five essential factors for effective presentations: Story Development, Graphics Design, Delivery Skills, and Tools of the presentation trade.
