Services & Solutions
Investment Driven by Strategic Insight
Our service model is based on the principle that the value of an executive presentation is directly proportional to the integrity of the research and the expertise of the delivery. We offer a highly focused, tiered structure that strategically links our fee to the intellectual capital and specialised performance training required for each engagement.
Scope: High Stakes, Any Audience Size
Our methodology is built for mission-critical presentations—whether addressing the Board, investors, or a large conference. We price our service based on the complexity of the message, not the audience size. For smaller, bespoke needs (like a critical client pitch or a sensitive internal address), our Tier 1: Messaging Assurance service is the ideal, time-efficient solution for ensuring flawless executive delivery.
Tiered Service Model: Investment Driven by Strategic Insight
Your investment reflects the complexity of the deep research and the integration of professional performance mastery needed to guarantee impact. The premium fee for our high-tier service is justified by the requirement for 4-5 days of specialised research, strategic preparation, and executive embodiment training.

Mandatory Inclusion: The Integrity Firewall Protocol
To ensure your organisation’s reputation is protected and your technical authority is maintained, all EPCS engagements include the following non-negotiable component:
The Q&A Handoff Protocol
The Q&A session is where knowledge and communication skills are truly tested, and credibility is won or lost. We manage this critical risk by structuring a seamless transition:
Delivery Phase: Sarah Coburn, as the Presentation Delivery Agent, delivers the strategic narrative with maximum impact.
Handoff: The floor is transitioned to your designated internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) to handle all subsequent technical questions. This establishes that the ultimate technical authority and deepest knowledge remain within your organisation.
Key Deliverable: Executive Briefing Document (EBD)
For all deep research engagements, we create a detailed EBD. This crucial artifact provides your SME with an executive summary, background information, key findings, and, most critically, a roster of anticipated audience questions with pre-approved, concise, and accurate answers. This guarantees preparedness and high confidence during the Q&A.
How We Work: The Seamless Workflow
Our process is modelled after high-stakes corporate ghostwriting and presentation consulting, ensuring meticulous, efficient execution of your message.
Process Steps




Kickoff and Voice Capture:
We start with deep-dive sessions to capture your authentic executive perspective, voice, and tacit knowledge—the underlying reasoning behind past strategic decisions. We specifically focus on uncovering the 'hidden' knowledge that hasn't been formalised in reports or documents. .
Research, Drafting, and Data Sourcing:
Based on the agreed-upon Tier, we gather the necessary competitive intelligence and data to back up all claims and demonstrate strategic ROI. Our methodology ensures that every proposed action is fully justified by hard metrics and market context.
Embodiment Training & Review Cycles:
The content is polished, and Sarah Coburn conducts rigorous rehearsal, mastering the script and ensuring the delivery style projects competence and confidence using techniques honed in theatre and screen acting. Clear windows are scheduled for your feedback.
Final Briefing & Deployment:
A mandatory briefing session is held with your Subject Matter Expert (SME) to collaboratively review and refine the Evidence-Based Document (EBD), ensuring complete accuracy and alignment. This meeting is critical for finalising the comprehensive Q&A strategy and preparing the SME to confidently answer.

EPCS FAQs
What exactly is EPCS? A: EPCS stands for Executive Presentation Capacity Service. We provide high-level communication outsourcing by blending extensive corporate strategy and data fluency with professional performance mastery to deliver mission-critical presentations with flawless authority.
Why hire an actor/performer for executive communication? A: Effective executive presence is a learned skill. Our foundation in professional acting ensures unparalleled voice control, authoritative pacing, and stage command—turning a data-rich presentation into an authentic embodiment of your message.
What corporate experience do you bring? A: My background includes serving as a freelance Executive Assistant to various companies, and roles within American Express, providing deep fluency in finance, governance, and high-stakes risk management.
Does EPCS handle the technical Q&A? A: No. Our model is built on Integrity and Authority. I deliver the strategic narrative, then seamlessly transition the floor to your designated internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all technical Q&A. This reinforces your team's ultimate technical competence.
What is the "Integrity Firewall" protocol? A: This is our non-negotiable ethical safeguard. I deliver the prepared narrative, and your internal SME handles the technical Q&A, preventing any implication of a knowledge gap and protecting your organization's credibility.
What is the Executive Briefing Document (EBD)? A: For Tier 2 engagements, the EBD is a crucial deliverable that synthesizes our research and key findings. It includes a roster of anticipated audience questions with pre-approved answers for your SME.
Is the client (CEO/Board) always aware of the outsourced delivery? A: Yes. The client (the CEO or Board) is always fully informed and signs off on the two-part delivery model. Organizational leadership is kept fully in the loop.
What is the first step in an engagement? A: The engagement begins with the Kickoff and Voice Capture phase, where we conduct deep-dive sessions to capture your authentic executive perspective, voice, and unique tacit knowledge.
What is the range of your service fees? A: Our fees range from £1,000 to £3,500 per engagement. The price is precisely calibrated to the required depth of research and complexity of the corporate message.
What is the primary difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 fees? A: Tier 1 focuses on expert delivery of your existing content. Tier 2 carries a premium because it includes full, independent deep research, competitive analysis, and creation of the mandatory EBD.
What are your payment terms for an engagement? A: We structure our payments to reflect the phased nature of the work: 50% of the total fee is required as a retainer upon contract signing (to initiate the Voice Capture and Deep Research/Drafting phases). The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the Final Briefing Session, immediately prior to deployment.
How do you address IR35 compliance? A: I understand the Off-Payroll Working Rules (IR35) and ensure all engagements are structured to demonstrably support genuine self-employment ("Outside IR35").
Do you sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)? A: Yes. A robust, UK-compliant Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) governs all work to protect your proprietary strategic data and intellectual property from the initial consultation.
