Speak, Lead &
Present with
Confidence

Overcome fear and excel in all aspects of your role

Speaking, leading, and presenting confidently isn’t just a skill; it’s the cornerstone to advancing your career and achieving professional success. 

Yet, public speaking anxiety is one of the most common fears worldwide, and being in the spotlight can feel like a nightmare. 

You are a skilled expert, but public speaking nerves, lack of confidence, or an ineffective message can cost you valuable opportunities. 

I’m here to help. 

Through my step-by-step public speaking coaching process, you will gain the skills, structure, and support you need to deliver clear and impactful messages with authentic confidence.

No matter what the situation. 

Having overcome anxiety and panic attacks in my own professional life, helping professionals and leaders speak confidently in all aspects of their roles has become my passion.

Wherever you are at, it’s my joy to help you reach your goals and fulfill your potential. 

3 steps to confident public speaking & leadership communication

Presence. Power. Purpose.

Presence

First, I will teach you skills to help you transform public speaking nerves into a genuine connection and cultivate a leadership presence.

Power

Then, you will learn techniques to improve the quality of your voice and persuade, motivate, and inspire your listeners.

Purpose

Finally, we will ensure you feel clear delivering your messages and have a preparation plan to feel confident both in-person and virtually.

Coaching & training

Whether introverted CEOs, professionals with neurodivergent learning styles, or women leaders finding their authentic voice in male-dominated industries, clients share one thing in common: they are experts in their field with phenomenal contributions to make.

Based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, I offer public speaking coaching and training both in-person and online across Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

Build capacity and nervous system resilience

Having worked in organizations for decades, I know how demanding your role is.

It’s your responsibility to solve complex problems in a high stress and fast paced environment.

You have to constantly adapt to the needs of different stakeholders. 

It’s challenging to lead, communicate, and influence effectively when you’re grappling with workplace stress, burnout, and overwhelm.

Your message comes through you. Your well-being and resilience support your capacity to reach others.
