Scaling Your Confidence
Many professionals feel confident in one-on-one conversations but struggle when speaking to larger groups or in high-pressure situations. I help you bridge that gap by teaching you how to scale your confidence. We'll work on techniques to expand your natural confidence, strategies for managing nerves in front of larger audiences, and practice with real-world scenarios. You'll learn to take the ease and assurance you have in individual settings and apply it to any speaking engagement, whether it's a team meeting, a client pitch, or a presentation to leadership.
Mastering Your Mindset
True communication confidence goes beyond just learning techniques; it starts with how you think about yourself as a communicator. My coaching helps you master your mindset by reframing fears, eliminating negative self-talk, and building confidence from the inside out. This isn't about faking confidence—it's about developing a genuine belief in your own voice and abilities. We'll use tools like self-affirmations, breathwork techniques, and mental reframing strategies to create lasting change and empower you to communicate with authenticity and conviction.
Fear-Proofing Your Process
Speaking with confidence means feeling prepared for anything that might come your way. I help you fear-proof your process by teaching you how to take control of the speaking environment, the tools, and the moment itself. From handling microphones and technology to anticipating audience questions and managing unexpected challenges, you'll learn practical strategies to eliminate distractions and feel confident in your ability to handle any situation. By mastering these skills, you'll walk into any speaking engagement feeling ready and in control.
About Me
Early in my career I belonged to a businesswomen’s group, and they held a speaking contest. First prize was $100. I entered, I prepared and was disappointed when I didn’t win first prize, I didn’t even place in the top 5! A mentor of mine who was in the audience, gave me the following feedback: “You had a death grip on the podium, did you think it was going to run away? You stumbled over your words and the two stories you told didn’t connect to the topic.” I was devastated. It was all I could do to not cry on the way home in a car full of other women. But I was determined to conquer my fears, create stories that make an impact and craft a presentation that would wow the audience. Fast forward 10 years and my then employer sent me to present our safety program at an industry conference. This time the prize was based on the impact of the program not the presentation, yet when people approached me afterward and gave me compliments on my delivery and the stories I shared; I knew I’d moved well beyond that timid young woman losing a speech contest years before.
My coaching isn’t about generic speaking tips or polished performances—it’s about real-world confidence, practical adaptability, and mindset-driven transformation. I believe that public speaking isn’t just for stages. It’s for boardrooms, networking events, and every business interaction where your voice needs to be heard.
