Some of my clients have feared speaking for years. Avoidance of public speaking inhibited their ability to obtain promotions, to attain leadership roles, to have their voices heard and, perhaps most importantly, inhibited them in achieving the success of which they are capable. As these clients’ speaking skills and competence grow, their confidence wins out and they start doing things they never dreamed they would.

Other clients have been speaking publicly for years, but want to be more powerful in their speaking. I enjoy helping these clients develop more effective approaches to their communications, so they can achieve that next level of success and satisfaction.

My focus on speaking coaching and training has been especially influenced by my experiences with Toastmasters, BATS Improv, Speaking Circles®, Voice and Speech at Studio A.C.T. and the National Speakers Association®. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Illinois and a Masters of Business Administration in Marketing from Golden Gate University.
