Communication & Public Speaking Coaches, Events, and Resources

10+ years of public speaking at conferences and on webinars and coaching students in the art of communications and public speaking. 10 years of training students to present and lead in small and large groups with confidence and poise. It's not just picturing your audience in their underwear, it's doing it with style and vibes that get them hanging on every word you're about to say. Working in Student Affairs for nearly 10 years, I coached college students of all levels in leading small teams of 5-or-fewer people, and large trainings of 20-or more. And it wasn't just about having a loud voice, or holding eye contact (both of which can work), it was about what they said AND about how it was said. It was knowing the audience, knowing the material and knowing how to deliver it in a way that made an impact. I'll walk you through how to do this, whether your a college student, an entry level professional or a seasoned pro that just hates getting in front of your colleagues to lead a presentation. It may not become your favorite thing to do, but together we'll make sure it's, at the least, less terrible and, if we're really lucky, something that you can actually enjoy.

Throughout my 10+ years in Big Tech, from Software Engineer to Senior PM and Coach at Microsoft, I've seen firsthand how critical strong communication is. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it. I’ve helped people who were nervous about presentations, unsure how to get their ideas across in meetings, or struggling to connect with their audience. My own journey involved learning to present complex technical ideas clearly and persuasively to executives, peers, and customers. I’ve taken those lessons and combined them with my coaching experience to help you: - Speak with clarity and confidence: We'll work on structuring your thoughts, refining your message, and delivering it in a way that feels natural and engaging. - Conquer public speaking anxiety: I’ll share practical techniques that have worked for me and many others to help you feel more comfortable and in control, whether you're speaking to a small group or a large audience. - Tailor your communication: Learn to adapt your style for different situations, from team updates and one-on-one conversations to formal presentations and interviews. If you're ready to improve how you communicate, present your ideas more effectively, and lead with greater impact, I'm here to help you find your voice and make it count.

I founded TalkMaze, a public speaking and education platform that grew to 20,000 members, 4 million video views, and over 5,000 participants across North America. I've delivered 4 TEDx talks, won the national Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, and received the Princess Diana Award for my work in youth education. I've spent years helping people go from terrified of speaking to confident on stage. Whether you're preparing for a presentation, a conference talk, a panel, or just want to stop dreading every meeting where you have to speak up, I help you structure your ideas, find your voice, and deliver with confidence. I grew up shy, and public speaking changed the trajectory of my life. I coach because I've seen it do the same for thousands of others.

I've been speaking in high-stakes settings since I was 12 years old — starting with campaign events in national politics and eventually presenting to policymakers, investors, and executives. I currently serve as an appointee to Governor Newsom and attend Stanford GSB where clear, persuasive communication isn't optional. I've also pitched to VCs, presented investment committee recommendations at a PE firm, and navigated the kind of rooms where how you say something matters as much as what you say. I coach people who need to get sharper for a specific moment — a big presentation, a job interview, an admissions interview, a pitch — as well as people who want to become more confident and deliberate communicators overall. I'm direct with feedback and I focus on structure, delivery, and presence rather than generic tips. If you want someone who's done it in real rooms, not just read about it, let's work together.

As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) with extensive experience in communication coaching, I am passionate about helping individuals express themselves effectively and build influence. With a background in commercial Broadway theater and executive coaching at BetterUp, I have guided over 200 clients, including those from Fortune 500 companies, to enhance their communication skills and leadership presence.

I have provided communications and speechwriting support to federal elected officials and c-suite executives.

I work with professionals who already perform at a high level. What brings them to me is the sense that something important is getting lost in translation, culturally as much as linguistically. 100% of my clients report improved workplace communication and I have trained over 20 nationalities. We start with what is real and current: a board presentation, a difficult email thread, a team that feels "off." You leave able to say what you mean and have it land. I have done this with clients at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. Before that, I ran global content at On through its IPO. If your work depends on people in different places understanding you clearly, book a session.

Throughout my career, I’ve spoken to audiences of over a thousand and coached clients preparing for interviews, panels, and presentations. I know how important it is to not just communicate clearly, but to communicate in a way that’s memorable and impactful. I've trained staff to become more confident and effective public speakers, equipping them with practical skills to engage audiences and share their stories with ease. As an ICF-Certified Coach, I help clients build confidence in their voice. Whether you’re preparing for a major presentation, looking to improve everyday communication, or simply want to feel more comfortable speaking up, we'll work together to build the strategies you need to own the room with confidence.

Public speaking is my favorite thing to do. A theater kid growing up, I've always loved capturing other's attention with the spoken word. Now, I public speak daily for work education adult staff at a large university and hospital. Together we will talk about overcoming fears, practice strategies to hold an audience's attention, and prepare your next speech.
