Confidence is Key to Effective Communication

Leveraging your natural style will bring out a confident public speaker.

I’ll help you tap into your natural communication style and personality traits to become a confident, effective & engaging public speaker.

After working with me you will confidently & effectively communicate your message to a group of people (small or large) in a way that is engaging & comfortable for you and your audience.

Why Coaching Works

image.png

Even the best athletes hire coaches. Coaching helps you level up & reach your goals. Are you ready?

​

Fear of standing up in front of a group, feeling weak in the knees, breaking into a triathlon level sweat or going completely brain dead doesn’t have to be your reality anymore. 

​

Like it or not, audiences often expect speakers to be entertainers, too (thanks YouTube!). It can feel like you're climbing a mountain to get your ideas organized, create engaging visuals AND be a dynamic presenter. 

​

This is where I come in: experienced, empathetic and with strategies that work. 

​

You don't have to climb the mountain alone and you don’t need to be a superstar to be a confident & effective communicator. You just need to understand your natural strengths and have a little support to get you through the tough spots.

The Approach

I help professionals overcome their communication fears and barriers. Through the use of personalized assessments, strategy development and practice sessions, I help you become a confident, effective & engaging communicator.

​

Some Key responsibilities and activities I provide as your communication coach.

​

  1. Assessment: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator[hotlink to description]; Communication Style Inventory; etc.

  2. Customized Training: a tailored training plan to address your specific challenges and goals.
