Private Public Speaking Coaching

I taught 2-3 public speaking classes per year for 22 years. I have coached 2 dozen TEDx speakers and have privately coached CEOs and executives to improve their presenting skills. I know I can help you.

Are people riveted by your speaking?
Do your presenting skills allow your message to resonate?
Do your speaking skills live up to your leadership skills?
Do you expect to speak effectively or ineffectively?

A great message isn’t always enough to move people. The presence & power of the speaker to bring that message home completes the picture.
