What if...
What if
you could think clearly, sleep well, and actually start to look forward to your upcoming public speaking adventure?
You could consistently experience the second experience? What if that time leading up to your presentation was charged with/full of / brimming with creativity, curiosity, and confidence?
What if you started to care more about the audience's experience and cared less about what they might think of you?
What if you knew how to brainstorm, organize your thoughts, create an easy-to-use script, and rehearse effectively?
What if you knew how to prepare to introduce yourself in a way that felt natural and not fake or boring, knew how to be comfortable being on camera, knew how to really connect with your audience when telling a story? For that matter, what if you knew how to tell a really good story?
It would feel much better, right?

I love helping innovators and visionaries to speak with power and ease so they can change the rooms or zooms they are in without self-doubt or losing precious sleep.
Through one-on-one coaching and customized corporate workshops, I help these game-changers experience public speaking as an adventure with exciting risks, discoveries, and massive rewards rather than as a horror movie with terror, hiding, and dread.
I have coached a wide variety of individuals who are making waves in their industries - scientists, entrepreneurs, executives, activists, doctors, chefs, lawyers, artists, a top dog trainer, and also a mountaineer who completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam (think Everest, the Poles, and more!)
