Ovation Communication, a women-owned firm specializing in public speaking and communication skills coaching, and Yoodli, an AI roleplay platform, are excited to announce the launch of Bravo 2.0, an innovative AI-driven engine designed to revolutionize how Ovation Communication delivers and gauges communication skills development.

Bridging Human Expertise with AI-Powered Reinforcement

Bravo 2.0, powered by Yoodli, will serve as a scalable, on-demand coaching companion to Ovation’s signature workshops and cohort programs. Now, with Bravo, professionals can prepare for critical events such as executive briefings, conference keynotes, and major summits, as well as stay accountable in progressive coaching programs, and continue developing their skills after live training, all through private, AI-assisted practice and feedback. By offering immersive, on-demand roleplays and data-driven insights, Bravo ensures skills aren’t just taught, they’re tracked, practiced, and honed with objective feedback every step of the way. 

With Bravo, Ovation is reimagining what happens outside of the classroom. From group coaching programs to everyday leadership moments, Ovation leverages Yoodli to scale expert guidance while retaining its hallmark personalized touch. 

A Smarter Way to Prepare and Perform

By integrating Yoodli into its programming, Ovation empowers professionals to:

  • Prepare for High-Stakes Moments: Rehearse for summits, board meetings, and external presentations with AI + human support to increase confidence and readiness.
  • Practice Critical Conversations: Practice introductions, pitches, and leadership updates, in a private environment that mimics real-world dynamics.
  • Craft and Deliver Clear, Compelling Messages: Use AI to refine storytelling and ensure messages land with clarity and impact.
  • Gain Objective Feedback Between Sessions: Track progress with data-backed insights into filler words, pacing, and word choice.
  • Scale Human Expertise: Extend Ovation’s personalized coaching with measurable, repeatable skill-building.
