Communication & Public Speaking Coaches, Events, and Resources

My approach to public speaking coaching blends the artistry of performance with the clarity of business communication. Before earning my MBA at Wharton, I spent years as an actor and performer, taking the stage before audiences of more than 600 people — experiences that taught me how to tell stories that land, use my voice with intention, and stay grounded under bright lights. In my professional life, those same skills became essential for pitching, presenting, and building trust in high-stakes finance and startup environments. I now host a podcast interviewing founders and leaders, a role that requires real-time storytelling, improvisation, and deep listening. I help clients — especially those who don’t think of themselves as “natural speakers” — find their voice, manage nerves, and communicate with confidence. Whether you’re preparing for a pitch, a presentation, or simply want to feel more at ease speaking up, I’ll help you develop a communication style that feels powerful, polished, and authentically yours.

Public speaking and effective communications have been an integral part of my career as a founder, educator, and coach. To date, I’ve been Invited to keynote 18 conferences on 3 continents to total audiences of 15,000+. Through my coaching, I have helped clients prepare for everything from wedding speeches to interviews, difficult interpersonal conversations to stand up comedy sessions. Our work together will include: ✓ Writing & editing support on material development ✓ Video recordings of practice sessions with feedback for improving delivery, tone, cadence, and body language What can the power of better communications unlock in your personal and professional life?
