I offer personalized coaching options, including one-on-one sessions and cohort/team training, available in person or virtually. Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, board presentation, sales conference, or aiming to enhance your ability to lead meetings, I’ll design a customized program tailored to your unique challenges and goals.

Absolutely! I’ve designed a unique virtual program that blends video-based learning with live virtual coaching, making it ideal for individuals and teams who prefer learning in manageable, bite-sized sessions over several weeks. This approach consistently delivers the most transformative results.

For those seeking a more traditional option, I also offer tailored one-on-one virtual coaching packages. Whether you need help with structuring your presentation, mastering effective storytelling, creating impactful PowerPoint slides, or any other specific goals, I’ll customize the coaching experience to meet your needs.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching professionals across a range of industries, both within and beyond the Fortune 500 landscape. Much of my work focuses on healthcare and oil and gas sectors, particularly with technical teams. These teams often excel in their expertise but face challenges in communicating complex information to leadership, cross-departmental audiences, or external clients. I specialize in helping them convey their knowledge in a way that is clear, concise, and easily understood, ensuring their message resonates with any audience.

It depends on your goals. One-on-one coaching is ideal for individuals preparing a specific presentation and seeking personalized support with its development and structure. It’s also perfect for those who want a fully customized coaching experience tailored to their unique needs.

Cohort-based (or team) training, on the other hand, is best suited for those looking to elevate their overall presentation skills. This approach provides the added benefits of observing others practice, experiencing live coaching in action, and exchanging constructive feedback with peers—all of which foster a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.

Presentation anxiety is one of the most common challenges I encounter in coaching—even seasoned C-level executives aren’t immune to nerves when speaking publicly. The good news? Overcoming this fear is entirely possible. I provide a range of proven tips, techniques, and tools to help clients manage anxiety and build confidence. Whether it’s reframing nervous energy, practicing effective breathing techniques, or developing a strong preparation routine, I’ll equip you with strategies to feel more at ease and deliver your message with impact.

Over nearly two decades of coaching, I’ve found that mastering presentation skills is much like learning a new instrument or sport—it requires commitment, practice, and patience. Most clients work with me for 2–4 months, during which we focus on building and refining their skills. After that, many reach out on an as-needed basis, often when preparing for a specific presentation and seeking expert feedback to fine-tune their delivery.

Absolutely! I have extensive experience delivering cohort-based training to large groups and entire organizations. For example, companies like HCA Healthcare have trusted me and my team to coach hundreds of their employees, providing tailored programs that meet the unique needs of diverse teams at scale.

Having coached thousands of professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds, many of my clients have achieved remarkable success—some have become professional speakers, while others have advanced their careers, leveraging their enhanced communication skills to lead and influence more effectively.

Unlike many training programs that focus solely on delivering fundamental presentation techniques like confidence, clarity, and competence, my approach goes deeper. I teach clients how to genuinely connect with their audience—even when presenting dry or routine material. Every audience member is a human being seeking connection, and with the right tools, speakers can deliver impactful solutions while fostering a meaningful connection. This allows audiences to leave not just informed, but inspired and fulfilled.

Measuring a client’s progress is essential for assessing their growth and demonstrating the program’s effectiveness. Here are some ways I measure progress:

1. Self-Assessment Tools Pre- and Post-Coaching Surveys:

Have clients complete a survey before and after the program to gauge improvements in confidence, clarity, and overall presentation skills.

Reflections on Goals: Ask clients to review the goals set at the beginning and reflect on how well they’ve achieved them.

2. Peer and Manager Feedback

Feedback from Colleagues: Encourage clients to gather feedback from their peers or managers on noticeable changes in their presentation style and effectiveness.

Audience Evaluations: If applicable, review feedback forms from the client’s actual presentations.

3. Observations and Recordings

Before-and-After Videos: Compare recordings of their presentations from before the course and after completion to evaluate improvements in delivery, tone, and engagement

Live Presentation Reviews: Attend or request access to a live presentation to observe their skills in a real-world setting.

4. Real-World Application

Presentation Impact: Assess whether their presentations lead to tangible outcomes (e.g., securing deals, gaining stakeholder buy-in, inspiring teams)

Follow-Up Assignments: Assign a presentation project post-course and evaluate their performance based on course objectives.

5. Quantitative Metrics

Reduction in Preparation Time: Track whether they’re able to prepare presentations more efficiently

Engagement Metrics: If applicable, measure audience engagement levels through Q&A participation, post-presentation surveys, or feedback.

6. Confidence and Comfort

Comfort Levels: Have clients rate their comfort with presenting before and after coaching

Handling Questions: Assess their ability to confidently handle audience questions or unexpected scenarios during a presentation.

7. Long-Term Check-Ins

Progress Interviews: Schedule follow-up sessions at intervals (e.g., 3, 6, or 12 months) to discuss how they’ve applied the skills and identify any ongoing challenges

8. Continuing Development:

Track whether clients are actively seeking out additional presentation opportunities.

Absolutely! In addition to presentations coaching, I offer a range of workshops and training programs designed to enhance team dynamics and workplace effectiveness. These include team-building workshops, training on psychological safety, mastering difficult conversations, negotiation techniques, customer service skills, and more.
