Public speaking coaching with Ashlee Braxton
Remember who the hell you are.
Then take the mic.
You've spent years making everything work behind the scenes. You know your story, you know your expertise, and you know you're meant to be heard. I'll help you own it, on any stage you choose.
Not ready for 1:1? Start with my guide
I spent years in the wings. I know exactly what it takes to step out.
My career started in LA, backstage at the Grammys, as assistant and talent manager to my aunt, Toni Braxton. I coordinated international tours and Broadway appearances, worked behind the scenes on Braxton Family Values, and every so often jumped on stage as a backup vocalist.
In 2014 I moved to Paris without speaking a word of French. A few years later I was supporting the CEOs of Ledger and OpenClassrooms, running all-hands meetings and becoming the company's unofficial emcee.
Today I'm based in Barcelona. I produce and manage global events, I host international conferences, and I coach women who are ready to be heard.
For a long time my job was making other people shine. Now I help you do it for yourself.
How I coach
Public speaking is a tool. Practice it with me and it becomes yours
1. We rewrite the story you tell yourself.
Somewhere along the way you decided you're "not a speaker." That belief has been running the show. We reset it first.
2. We face what's in the way.
The nerves, the doubts, the reasons you stay quiet. We sit in the awkward part together, because that's where the change happens.
3. We shape your own voice.
Your audience wants the real you. We find what you actually want to say and how to say it like yourself.
4. We practice in real time.
Pitches, keynotes, panels, media, leadership moments. You get direct feedback and tools you can use in any room.
