one-on-one coaching
Public speaking can be scary, but here’s some good news: the muse that will help you succeed is the one you already have. It's YOU.
Successful public speaking is about finding yourself in the speech that you make. Anyone can do it. And everyone who does it well succeeds it their own unique way. It doesn’t have to be flashy (but it could be, if that’s where you find your joy). It doesn’t have to be big (but it could be, if that’s what you’re into). It just has to be the you that wants to take the audience on a journey.

HOW DO WE GET YOU THERE?
In a fun, safe, environment of constructive feedback, we give a chance to get some reps in while building your awareness and finding some new possibilities. You will walk away with a polished presentation ready for an audience.
A public speaking lesson package will consist of a series of 45-minute sessions that work on technical skills and individual creativity.
Through playful exercises we’ll hone your physical approach, building skills like:
poise (standing plainly and powerfully)
body language (what to do with those pesky hands!)
eye contact (generosity with your audience)
vocal expression (using rhythm & tempo to keep it interesting)
If needed, we’ll also work on the content of your speech, focusing on:
speech construction (so that everything makes sense)
healthy setups (so the audience can relax and enjoy the ride)
powerful imagery (so they get caught up in the action)
Our techniques will help you find that authentic YOU that engages with audience, turning your public speech from a "test" you think you need to pass into a gift you can't wait to give.
The sessions will involve a lot of hands-on work, a lot of fun, and a lot of self-discovery.
