Let’s get you thriving in your public speaking. Are you a professional speaker looking to level up? Are you a manager or HR director hoping to train your team? Our work together will take you or your employees to new heights. Speaking in public is an indispensable facet of professional life, whether you’re presenting at a conference, engaging with VCs, leading a team, or addressing an all-hands meeting, the desire to exude confidence in the spotlight is universal, and essential.
That’s where I come in. With my background as an actor, improviser, acting coach, and writer, I bring more than 20 years of experience in empowering individuals across various professions to speak publicly in a way that feels genuine and helps them achieve their goals.
Whether we meet in person or on Zoom, my sessions are personalized to suit your specific needs. We’ll enhance your overall performance skills through engaging acting and improv exercises, and attune your vocal tone, physicality, and stage presence so you can command the room.
Together we can craft a pitch from scratch or fine-tune an existing presentation by exploring: How can you speak more clearly and persuasively? Can you add humor? Where can we add more authenticity to the content and performance of your talk?
I guarantee that we will elevate your comfort, confidence, and enthusiasm for public speaking.
