Public Speaking
Do you want to command the room, captivate your audience, and deliver your message with visible confidence? As your coach, I can help you overcome your fears, highlight your strengths, and develop as a more persuasive, effective speaker.
Together, we’ll work on:
- Identifying and conquering your speaking anxieties (especially stage fright symptoms)
- Developing a confident, authentic presence
- Crafting compelling openings and closings that leave a lasting impression
- Using storytelling techniques to engage and persuade your audience
- Handling Q&A sessions and impromptu speaking situations with ease
Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to take your speaking skills to the next level or a newcomer to the world of public speaking, I’ll provide you with the tools, techniques, and support you need to shine in the spotlight!
You will be ready for anything:
- a large audience in a formal setting (e.g., a conference keynote)
- a smaller group in a business setting (e.g., a pitch to potential funders)
- an intimate event setting (e.g., a wedding toast)
Presentations and Speeches
Are you ready to create presentations that educate, inspire, and motivate your audience? Whether you’re delivering…
- a high-stakes sales pitch,
- an engaging training seminar,
- an energizing motivational speech,
- or a heartfelt personal tribute
…my coaching will help you craft a message that resonates with your listeners and achieves your goals.
From classrooms to boardrooms to the great outdoors, we’ll work together to ensure your presentation or speech is well structured, enhanced by visuals, and delivered with confidence and clarity.
We’ll focus on:
- Identifying your core message and creating a clear, compelling narrative
- Structuring your presentation for maximum impact
- Using visuals that enhance your message and keep your audience engaged
- Mastering transitions and pacing to keep your audience with you
- Incorporating technology at any level — from advanced A/V setups to no tech at all
- Tailoring your presentation to different audiences and contexts
Whether you’re presenting to colleagues, clients, a conference audience, or family and friends, I’ll help you create presentations and speeches that leave a lasting impact — and make what you want to happen really happen!
Using your Voice
Your voice is a powerful instrument, but are you using it to its full potential? And just as importantly: do you like how your voice sounds? I’ll help you find your natural speaking voice, project confidence, and express yourself as your true self.
We’ll work on:
- Discovering your unique vocal qualities and learning to embrace them
- Developing proper breathing techniques for vocal support and projection
- Mastering articulation and diction for clarity and impact
- Using tone, pitch, and inflection to convey emotion and meaning
- Eliminating unwanted vocal habits (filler words, uptalk, monotone delivery, high or low pitch, etc.)
- Protecting your voice and maintaining vocal health during long speaking engagements
I’ll help you develop the vocal techniques and confidence to make your message truly resonate with your audience, make you feel more confident in yourself, and enhance both your personal and professional life.
Your voice shouldn’t just come out of you — it should come from you!
Process: How We Might Work Together
My coaching process is built on collaboration, customization, and a commitment to your success. We’ll work together to achieve a process tailored to your needs, goals, and challenges.
Free Consultation
I offer a free 30-minute consultation with each new client before we commit to working together. We’ll discuss your goals, how I might be able to help you achieve them, and what our work together might look like for your specific situation and needs.
The Personalized Plan
- Discovery Session: We’ll start with an in-depth conversation to identify your public speaking goals and discuss any challenges or concerns you have. This session will lay the foundation for the coaching plan.
- Customized Coaching Plan: Based on your goals and needs, I’ll create a personalized coaching plan that outlines the specific areas we’ll work on, the techniques and strategies we’ll employ, and the timeline for our coaching sessions. We’ll then work together to revise the plan to better meet your goals.
- Regular Coaching Sessions: We’ll meet regularly (either in-person or online) for coaching sessions focused on developing your skills, practicing techniques, and providing feedback and guidance. Each session will build upon the previous one, ensuring steady progress towards your goals.
- Practical Exercises and Assignments: Between coaching sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to practice and apply what you’ve learned through practical exercises and assignments. These activities will help reinforce these skills and build your confidence.
- Ongoing Support and Feedback: Throughout your work, I’ll provide ongoing support, feedback, and guidance to help you stay on track and overcome any challenges that arise. I’m committed to being your partner and advocate every step of the way.
- Celebration and Continued Growth: As you achieve your public speaking goals and milestones, we’ll celebrate your successes and set new targets for continued growth and development. My goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence to continue thriving long after our work together ends.
Flexible
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. My preference is to work in person if your goal is for an in-person event, but I’m flexible and willing to do what works for you.
