I have always had a passion for speaking, performing in public, and storytelling. And now I bring that enthusiasm into my work by helping clients find their authentic presence and voice to tell a better story – the story of their business, of their life.
A hallmark of my work is my ability to empathize with people and give specific direction in a positive manner. I bring together a background as a professional actor, director, and coach with a lifetime of hearing outstanding public speaking on a regular basis from the pulpit and the podium – my father was a prominent preacher and popular public speaker.
At the beginning of my career, I struggled with a strong southern accent, poor body awareness, and a fear of being judged by others. And through that experience, I learned that in order to succeed I needed to get out of my own way! By focusing on “weaknesses,” I limited my potential.
I am able to “read” people to better communicate with them, and that means my clients get personal attention and feedback. Folks who work with me enter a “safe” place where they learn and grow quickly, free from the fear of harsh judgments.
With positive reinforcement and specific feedback and direction, each client becomes a powerful presenter who communicates with confidence, clarity, and impact. Whether your audience is one person or a stadium full, you can engage and influence your listeners!
From my own experience, I know that it is possible to learn simple, effective techniques that improve your ability to connect with and influence others.
Specific results my clients experience?
- Mastery of presentation anxiety
- Reduction of regional accents and lazy diction
- Development of physical confidence
- Use of effective movement and gestures
- Genuine enjoyment speaking in front of others
As a result, my clients receive respect and gain influence in professional and personal arenas.
American poet, essayist, and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson recognized the crux of powerful speaking: “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.” It is within your capabilities to be just as effective. Call me and let’s talk!
