Professor McCann is a master public speaker that is also a master teacher OF public speaking. He helped coach my colleagues and I on everything from best practices to the most detailed of subtle nuances of developing effective presentations, writing captivating speeches and more-than-effectively delivering one’s message via public speaking. Professor McCann also has a unique gift of being able to give feedback in a very neutral and respectful tone. Anyone can critique form or function, but not everyone can give feedback in a way which the recipient feels respected and uplifted as a result of receiving it. UCLA Anderson is lucky to have Professor McCann as a member of their roster, and if you every have an opportunity to take a course with him there or in his consulting firm, I highly recommend it.

We take presentations for granted because we do them so often, but there is a world of difference between a presenter who understands how to reach his audience and a presenter who thinks he simply needs to convey information. Working with Dr. McCann helped me to realize just how many presentations by experienced managers have cluttered slides and dry content that ultimately prevent them from being engaging or persuasive.

Dr. McCann’s advice and guidance are extremely useful to me in communicating complex, technical and sensitive topics under intense, high-pressure situations. He helped me focus on the core of the message clearly and strategically set the stage for negotiations. Dr. McCann’s excellent speaking skills, approachability, multicultural awareness, and his unique personal and professional background will make him a great coach and a mentor for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills.
