Public Speaking & Presentation Coach
Let’s sprinkle personality back into presentations
You hate public speaking.
You have to prepare for your next public speaking presentation. The last time you presented your work, your audience fell asleep. You've considered fleeing the country, but the smuggler you found on Craigslist wants $10,000 and your 'flee the country' fund is $9,784 short.
Bummer.
You search for a public speaking coach instead.
You find me.
I teach you how to give the best presentation in the world.
The day of your presentation arrives. You own the room. People are laughing, smiling (and most importantly, fully conscious). Your boss is floored. Carol from accounting silently weeps. Everyone claps. You get a promotion.
Life is good again.
Soft-spoken rebels, reserved racket makers, and quiet revolutionaries unite
For too long, you've sat on the sidelines, passed over for promotions. Uncredited for your best ideas. Unacknowledged for all the cool stuff you do.
You've got stories to tell.
Pitches to present.
Speeches to deliver.
Existential dread to scream into the ether.
A fear of speaking up to conquer.
I see you. Now let's get the rest of the room to see you too.
According to most studies, people’s number 1 fear is public speaking.
Number 2 is death. Death is number 2.
Does that seem right?
Jerry Seinfeld
No, Jerry. It doesn't seem right at all.
That's why I've spent the past decade perfecting my necromancy and resurrecting people from the dead, so I can permanently cast out the fear public speaking presents for so many corporate and business professionals. Also, I gotta stop referencing a stand-up comedy special from 1998, and I can't do that until I hunt down every public speaking spook in corporate America.
Help me get rid of this dated Jerry Seinfield quote. Work on your fear of speaking up.
Let’s work together on your next presentation, pitch, story, or speech
Buy my Brain
Let me be Mr. Miyagi to your Karate Kid.
Through a tailored 60mins coaching session, we’ll wax your public speaking skills so they shine brighter than a vintage car glinting in the California sun. With me by your side, we’ll hit the dojo (Zoom) for frequent, career-advancing sessions. You’ll walk away with a black belt in confident public speaking.
Company Training
You’re Ferrari.
You and your team roll into a room to pitch and present a multi-million dollar partnership. You know Ford will be pitching to this same client in less than 24 hours. How do you and your team differentiate yourselves?
Your engines. Except, they have identical horsepower to Ford.
Your automotive specs. They’re mirror images of Ford.
Your top speed capacity. Equal to Ford.
When faced with selling similar products and services, reiterating sales pitches a client can read on your website isn’t the way to stand out.
Cars don’t drive themselves around the track. Teach your team how to shine in their own right, to win hearts, minds, and perhaps that championship trophy.
Storytelling Salon
Say goodbye to starting your work presentations with “Hi, my name’s Farah and I work in marketing.”
In the 75-min Salon, we’ll workshop 3-5 of your personal stories and turn them into attention-skewering kebabs you can throw on the proverbial BBQ anytime you need ‘em.
People will eat up your words and lick your fingers for scraps. Warning: devastating persuasion will follow.
Positively drowning in cheering and accolades
Because advice like “imagine everyone in the audience is in their underwear” is about as helpful as a poop-flavored lollipop
If you’ve ever started a presentation with a buzz-killing line like, “Hello everyone, I’m here today to…”, then I can help you.
If you’ve ever ended a presentation by thanking everyone for “their attention”, I can help you.
If you’ve ever crammed a 73-slide presentation deck with 54,984 words in size 10, Times New Roman, then I can also help you.
If you’re still unsure about the extent of my many-tendriled skill set, let’s talk about it on 45-minute Chemistry Call. For 3/4 of an hour, we see if public speaking sparks fly.
Putting the ‘pub’ in ‘public speaking’
(because everyone will be offering to buy you a drink after that speech)
You deserve champagne-flute-glass-clinking celebrations when you pitch
Approved client budgets for your next creative project
Vigorous handshakes with senior management (if you’re into that kind of thing)
And most of all?
You deserve career-advancing confidence, courage to stand out and claim credit for your ideas, and visibility for your excellent work.
I don’t want you to become a good public speaker despite being an introvert, I want you to become a good public speaker because you’re an introvert.
By the time we’re done working together you won’t be able to ignore the difference in your confidence (and neither will anyone else).
Not because I’ve taught you some ‘special framework’ for successful public speaking, but because (like Sherlock Holmes scanning a crime scene for clues) we’ve carefully combed through your talents, hobbies, values, interests and credibility, and turned your uniquely-you qualities into audience-grabbing powers for life.
You’re an asset just the way you are. I want to help you lean right into your natural skills, so you can use the talents you’ve already got to make people sit up and listen your way.
Corporate America’s Deck-Fixing Darling
For 10 years, I gave speeches and worked in roles where up to 85% of my job was giving persuasive presentations to executives. So when I tell you I've been in your shoes, it's no exaggeration.
I've got a pair of your loafers on my desk right now (and the scent of presentation panic on your instep is still fresh).
I started teaching public speaking to frantically pacing colleagues during my lunch breaks. Eventually, I quit corporate America to focus on public speaking coaching full-time.
Now, I coach and teach well heeled VPs, Directors, Presidents, GMs, department heads, managers and professionals to deliver speeches with high-heeled confidence. In my client's words, my "expertise shines brighter than the sun", and I’m “definitely a secret weapon".
