FREE WORKSHOPS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
These are interactive presentations on public speaking and communication skills. We often forget that our body "speaks" and these non-verbal messages can support or contradict our message. Through physical awareness of posture and voice, breath control, as well as relaxation, and visualization exercises, we can combat the performance anxiety that inhibits us from connecting with our audience.
customized workshops
I offer customized public speaking workshops on a sliding scale to arm community members with the skills needed to communicate effectively. Communication is a 24/7 skill yet when we call it “public speaking” the act often becomes a fear worse than death. I demystify public speaking by framing it in terms of the communication we do everyday. And by employing strong communication skills in our everyday lives we build our communication muscles for even the most intimidating communication tasks (i.e. interviews, presentations, teaching, networking).
Private Coaching
I provide public speaking coaching on a sliding scale to communicators of all ages and in all fields! I had the honor to coaching Rosalie Fish (TEDxYouth@Seattle) and Judy Twedt (TEDxSeattle). Sharing our works with the world and truly hearing a multitude of perspectives is critical for democratic discourse.
