PUBLIC SPEAKING COACHING

Unintimidating, bespoke, FUN public speaking coaching.

—Senior Project Manager, Client

“You’re magic”

Speaking in public can be challenging, sure, but getting great at it doesn’t have to be. Learning the tools and tricks of brilliant public speaking can and should be a joy.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a tech whiz, an account director, or anyone else, speaking in public is an indispensable part of professional and everyday life.

I’ll get you to exude confidence whether you’re pitching to VCs, presenting at a conference, or addressing potential clients.

Onboard me to level up your team.

Or hire me yourself as a communication secret weapon.

We’ll use acting, improv, physical, and vocal techniques, many rooted in comedy, to make you speak authentically, confidentially, and with authority. You will be blown away by yourself :).

Yes, this is for professionals, and yes, we work with comedy. This is for two reasons:

Comedy techniques/games/tricks/tools make this work fun.

Having a light approach/humor makes everyone a much more effective communicator.

Let’s up your charisma and charm! It works.

WIN AT WORK

Anyone can get significantly better at public speaking


I’ve been working with Miriam for the past three months, and her coaching has had a remarkable impact on my presentation skills and ability to influence clients. Since working with her, I’ve received positive feedback from both clients and internal leadership - specifically on how effectively I tailor and deliver messages to different audiences.”

FEEL FREE

Improve overall performance skills giving you a competitive edge on any stage


Miriam, brimming with enthusiasm and verve, led us through a series of exercises that brought out the drama queen in all of us, from introverts to polished C-suiters. By the end, we were presenting with aplomb. We were more entertaining and passionate then I thought a bunch of anxious tech geeks could be. Miriam brought us all together and brought out the best in our interpersonal communication and honed our on-the-fly responsiveness. As a startup founder, I'm thinking it would great to hire Miriam to make our pitch even more effective.This practical, tailored approach ensures that every session strengthens my professional development in a meaningful way.”

TAILORED FOR YOU

These are seriously bespoke sessions based upon who you are and what your goals are


Miriam’s sessions blend engaging exercises focused on dynamic speaking, vocal variety, and infusing enthusiasm, with real-time practice on projects directly relevant to my role. This practical, tailored approach ensures that every session strengthens my professional development in a meaningful way. What sets Miriam apart is how adaptable and buildable her program is. Unlike other public speaking courses I’ve participated in, her coaching feels both highly personalized and immediately applicable. I look forward to continuing to work with her to refine and elevate my skills even further.
