You've Found Your Confidence
Building Expert
I know what it’s like to lack confidence in your public speaking, to feel like an imposter, and to fear the judgment of others that limits you. I’ve been there! Before my PhD...
We All Start Somewhere
​
As a young child, I never sought the spotlight. In fact, I often hid in my room when the doorbell rang! If someone told little girl me that one day I’d teach 1,000s of people how to confidently communicate in situations ranging from one-on-one conversations to addressing a packed auditorium I probably would’ve stayed in my room. Luckily I didn’t!
​
Through education & experience, I found strength, confidence, effectiveness and the skills to become an effective communicator who gets results. I learned, through advanced education 20+ years of experience, that the most effective speakers honor their strengths and embrace what makes them unique in their presence and power.
This confidence came from learning my strengths, identifying my unique communication style and leveraging these assets to overcome my fears and self-doubt.
Now, this is what I do for others. I help you overcome communication fears to communicate confidently & clearly.
Why Coaching Works
​
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.
