Making You Sing

Do you remember the scene in Harold & Maude when Harold sings for the first time in his life, prompted by Maude’s enthusiasm?

That’s what public speaking coaching feels like to me.

I’m seeing people feel like themselves and be free, sometimes for the first time in their lives.

I’m watching people get past blocks and defense mechanisms to speak naturally and comfortably.

I’m witnessing people feel like kids again, all while bringing them leaps and bounds further in their professional capacity.

It’s really beautiful to see.

I love meeting other public speaking coaches. There’s so much enthusiasm and passion for the work because it is actually possible to help people express themselves more freely, in their particular way. And when you see the glimmer of that and then an even fuller expression of it, it feels incredible. And I know it feels incredible to live it.

We’ve all had moments of being weird! But the right speaking coach can bring you back to yourself, which helps with everything— work, love, interacting with family, friends, baristas. And it can happen fast.

Hire yourself a public speaking coach, or date a sprightly eighty-year-old woman. Either way, live your life.

“Harold, everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You can’t let the world judge you too much.”

Sending love!

“Shall we have a song?”

“I don’t sing.”

“Oh come on, I’ll show ya!”
