I am a Communication Consultant & Speaking Coach/Trainer with over 20 years of experience as a Speech- Language Pathologist. I’m also a recovering shy person, and fuse those aspects of my background to train speakers, professionals, and teams to feel comfortable and confident when communicating so you stand out as an expert. How? I teach you to work with the design of your body and brain so that you can control your nervous system instead of it controlling you- even in high-pressure, high-stakes communication situations. When you are calm, collected, and confident, you can be fully present in each interaction, allowing you to access all your unique human resources (your knowledge, education, training, skills, preparation, and wisdom) so you can achieve peak communication performance!Once you have established the habits that keep you feeling calm and confident when you communicate, I show you how to use simple voice and speaking techniques to capture and hold your listener's attention so you stand out as an authority in your industry, connect effectively with others, and make a bigger impact. I believe that anyone can learn to feel and sound clear, confident, and in control when they communicate! Whether you have stage fright or love an audience, you can learn to make one simple shift at a time in how you speak in order to captivate your listeners, grow your business, and achieve your goals.
