Hello friends,
2017年底我們決定成立 Presentality Consulting 核心觀點時，我們三人小組（Andrew, Nick, Zona）不知道有多少次在 Andrew 家的客廳坐到半夜，興奮討論所有我們想做的事情，徹底改變產業、新創、政府對國際的溝通方式。但說實在的，畫的餅實在太大，根本不是我們這個小團隊可以做的。所以我們也像大部份新創一樣，先從當時眼前可做，有人能做，跟覺得最該做的開始。
過去幾年，我們很幸運陸續有優秀的夥伴（Leo, Carol, Emily, Lenny, Fangting.) 加入，因此我們可以做的事情也更多了：除了協助大企業打造跨國溝通策略、培訓新創團隊並協助他們募資之外，我們也推出數位內容。透過這些實戰的洗禮，我們的流程、架構、跟心態也不斷演進。
今天想跟大家分享的，就是我們演進過程的下一個里程碑：我們發現如果想要把跨國溝通的專業能力帶給更多需要的人，協助更多的團隊，我們就不能只侷限於自己的小團隊。因此，Presentality Consulting 即將變身成為 Presentality Group - 除了 Presentality 核心觀點本身之外，也會有其他專精於跨國專業溝通的公司、品牌、及團隊加入，讓我們能提供大家更全面的支持。
首先加入 Presentality Group的其實已經是老朋友了 ，熱烈歡迎跨國時尚產業顧問 Sherry Fang，以及她一手創辦的 Executive Plus 主管英文 成為我們的ㄧ員！🥳 Sherry 除了培訓很多跨國企業主管人才之外，大家可能早就聽過她跟我們的 Nick Howard 主持的 Executive Plus podcast，在短短一年內，就讓每一集的聽眾人數從屈指可數的幾個人漲到破萬。
接下來我們希望Executive Plus 的品牌，一如其名，專門針對有國際溝通需求的企業主管及未來主管人才，提供最專業的內容及服務。
至於 Presentality 本身，過去一年，主動來尋求我們協助國內外募資輪的新創爆炸性成長，甚至有投資基金也來請我們協助他們對 LP 的溝通。因此，Presentality 會著重於新創產業的客戶，包括新創企業及創投基金。未來幾個月內，我們也會持續整合與擴充，希望Presentality Group 能夠帶給大家更多的資源。
非常感謝這些年來你們的信任和支持，我們迫不及待想在接下來的日子裡，為大家帶來更精彩的篇章！

Hello Friends,
When Presentality was established back in late 2017, our small founding team (Andrew, Nick, & Zona) spent countless late nights envisioning all the things we could be. We imagined lighting up every corner in the vast landscape of communication. Yet early on, our ambition vastly outstripped the size of our team. Like many start-ups, we needed to focus down on what we could do well, what we could do now, and who we had to do it.
Over the years, we had many wonderful people join the effort and bring unique insights (Leo, Carol, Emily, Lenny, FangTing). As our team grew so did our reach. We moved from working with corporate clients to running start-up workshops to developing digital content. All the while our methodologies and mentality evolved; evolved and expanded with each new member and each new experience.
This brings us to the next era of Presentality. We felt that transforming the world of professional communication was no longer a task for a single entity, but rather a fellowship of like-minded companions. So, now we evolve from Presentality Consulting to the Presentality Group. This group will incorporate companies and brands offering the best in professional communication.
To kick off this group we welcome long-time friend, Executive Plus and founder Sherry to the Presentality Group. Sherry works with executives from leading global companies on their professional communication and language skills. Many of you might know her from the joint podcast run with Presentality Strategy Director Nick. Over the past year, they've grown the podcast from a handful of listeners to an audience of more than 10,000. Going forward the Executive Plus brand will harbor communication content aimed at the working professional.
Over the past months, demand for our help with venture fundraising at home and abroad has exploded, and even venture investors have asked us to help with their own raise. Therefore the Presentality moniker will centralize communication content for startups like pitching and fundraising. Over the following months, we will expand our group to include more communication resources under our umbrella.
Thank you for trusting us all these years, and we can't wait to bring you new wondrous things in the coming year!
