We create "presentations that impress and impact". "A Bona Fide Presence, LLC" is the brainchild of Dr. Patricia Lieveld. Many professionals are too busy or lack the expertise to create quality presentations. Add to this the fear that many people have relating to public speaking and that is where "A Bona Fide Presence" is needed.

Pat developed her New Orleans-based company to aid busy professionals in creating memorable, effective presentations. She has 20 years of academic experience at the university level and has given numerous PowerPoint® presentations. In addition, she has Microsoft® Office Specialist Certification in PowerPoint®. Her expertise on the speaking circuit has enabled her to identify a critical need — namely, to make presentations that audiences will remember!

As a presenter, your credibility and the credibility of your company or organization are on the line when you give a less-than-memorable presentation. Creating high-quality onscreen presentations is essential for professionals to convey their messages to target audiences.

"A Bona Fide Presence" focuses on the integrity of your professional image and the visual and verbal content of your message. We can help you to dispense information clearly, accurately, efficiently, and effectively, and where it’s appropriate- entertainingly.

Our presentations give you “A Bona Fide Presence” among your peers. We also create presentations for various types of businesses and offer presentations skills workshops and PowerPoint® training sessions for those new to the public speaking circuit.
