When you invite Lou Heckler to assist you by being a part of your special event or your career trajectory, you avail yourself of his unique blend of knowledge, integrity, experience, humor, and heart.

Most of Lou's speaking and coaching assignments come to him as repeat or referral business. This is because he takes a personal interest in the success of each event and individual.

It is also because the face-to-face time he spends with a group or person is a fraction of his preparation and follow-up time. His constantly updated presentations are researched and tailored to fit client needs. He interviews (usually by phone) key personnel ahead of the engagement to discover current directions and concerns. He arrives the day before a meeting or convention at which he will be speaking. He attends the sessions leading up to his slot so that he will add to his understanding and appreciation of the specific business area. He takes time to socialize at scheduled functions. He allots time after his speech to mingle informally with the group. In the weeks following the event, Lou stays in the picture by forwarding key, helpful information to the client as he finds it.

As a speech coach, Lou is noted for endowing the people he teaches with: confidence, recognition of effective performance structure, and enhanced skill in storytelling. His coaching clients include both professional speakers and executives.

Word of mouth has propelled Lou Heckler through two successful decades of speaking and coaching in hundreds of cities. Through it all, he has kept current and kept his life balance. For a speaker and coach you will enjoy, respect, and long remember, get to know Lou.
