About the Founder

Anxiety, panic, shame, not good enough…

My clients and I have all felt a combination of all these things when we’ve been asked, forced, or volunteered to speak in public.

Even if we do a good job, we rarely feel satisfied.

“I don’t like being the center of attention.”

“I know my subject but can’t seem to say what I want to say.”

“I’m overwhelmed by the process of putting together a presentation.”

“Lately I’ve lost my confidence.”

“I’m sick of being afraid.”

My clients come from all walks of life, many countries, and disparate backgrounds, but they all long for the same thing: to feel, look, and sound confident and competent.

✅ They aspire to be effective, relaxed, authentic speakers who connect with their audience.

✅ They want to stop feeling like they failed to do their best.

✅ They want to help others and themselves.

Becoming an audience-centric speaker and communicator is the key to all that.

I offer one-on-one personalized coaching in my Oak Park, Illinois office or via Zoom and multi-session packages.

✅ Talking and analyzing

✅ Self-monitoring

✅ Making powerful mindset changes

✅ Eliminating harmful self-talk

✅ Refining posture and body language

✅ Understanding audience psychology

✅ Adding concepts like gratitude, generosity, perspective, and acceptance

✅ Using the ripple effect to make a better world

I also work with teams to improve presentation, communication, and interpersonal skills.

I’m a speaker who can inspire and entertain an audience by sharing decades of stories, advice, and wisdom.

Because public speaking is more than words, I provide more than cookie-cutter solutions. My clients needs and goals–and their audiences experience–are my top priorities.
