Priya’s Communication & Public Speaking Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
200+ people coached for Communication & Public Speaking
As a trained psychologist and executive coach, I bring a deep understanding of how communication both reflects and shapes leadership. I’ve coached hundreds of leaders on how to speak with greater clarity, confidence, and presence—whether they’re delivering a high-stakes keynote, navigating a tense boardroom conversation, or inspiring their teams through change. My background in narrative psychology and emotional intelligence allows me to help clients craft messages that not only inform but move people. I focus on the inner game of public speaking—addressing the fears, mindset, and mental habits that get in the way—so that what comes out externally is authentic, compelling, and grounded in your values. What sets me apart from other communication coaches is my ability to connect your speaking style to your leadership identity. I don’t believe in forcing anyone into a performance persona—instead, I help you become more of who you are, with skill and intention. I also draw on decades of experience as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and storyteller working with C-suite leaders, professional firms, and global teams. Whether you're preparing for a pivotal presentation or seeking to elevate your day-to-day communication, I help you find your voice and use it with purpose.
