Executive Speech Coaching

You’re a powerful person: a doctor, an executive, an on-air talent, a lawyer, an author, a performer. You know your field. Your work is respected, and so are you.

But you’re compelled to step forward in a new way. Your presence and your message need to resonate with a wider audience, with greater clarity, with more persuasive energy. You need to bring your personal power and expertise to bear through an important speaking opportunity where the stakes are higher—possibly because you yourself have raised them: a high-stakes pitch, an inaugural address, a keynote speech, a launch, a boardroom presentation.

Or perhaps you foresee leadership opportunities that require you to refine and embrace your executive presence, so that you may effect change. Will your message resonate with key decision makers? Will your credibility and confidence compel others to join you? 

Whatever the size of your stage, you want to feel self-assured and connected to your audience in the moment. Will people truly see you? Will your message be clear? Will it make an impact? Will you leave the impression you intend to leave? Will they remember you?

Our work together is designed to deliver a YES to each of those questions. At the intersection of brain science, classical acting techniques, narrative techniques, and physical self-awareness, our work together will uncover your powerful story, your authentic voice, and a presence grounded in your individual strength and charisma, setting you and your message apart from all of the others.

Executive Speech Coaching

One-hour coaching session (3-5 sessions to start for best impact)

In person, on-site for a live event, or over Zoom

I structure each session around your specific needs, enabling you to craft a narrative tailored to your strengths and styles as a communicator. Through individual presentation and feedback, you’ll gain tools and practice to convey your messaging succinctly and to enhance your presence — whether live or through a virtual meeting. I’ll also teach the art of staying on topic, regardless of an audience’s agenda, as well as techniques to ensure that your content lands.

Media Training & Messaging

One-hour coaching session (1-3 sessions per media engagement)

In person or over Zoom

Every media appearance is an opportunity to showcase yourself and your business. During these sessions, you will learn to crystallize your narrative, make your soundbites sing, and understand the art of taking control of the conversation, regardless of the interviewer’s style or agenda. Customized rehearsals will leave you feeling prepared, confident, and ready for the director to yell, “Action!”

“Brush up” Presentation Coaching

One-hour coaching session

In person or over Zoom

Sometimes, consistent practice isn’t possible, and communication tools can become rusty. The Brush Up reconnects you to your live presentation skills, with particular focus on physical techniques to mitigate anxiety and to enhance your presence, as well as vocal techniques to ensure that your message is heard. Consider it as a complement to your previous training, when you might need a refresher.
