Story & Voice Coaching

Personalized Public Speaking Coaching

Leaders, Entrepreneurs and Creatives.

  • WHY THIS MATTERS

    When you speak: on stage, in a boardroom, or in front of a camera
    People aren’t just listening to your words. They’re listening to you.

    Your story, your voice, your presence. That’s what builds trust and creates impact.

    It’s about:
    Owning your story with confidence

    Speaking with authenticity and presence

    Turning nerves into fuel, not fear

    Using your voice to move people

  • WHO THIS IS FOR

    If your role demands more than “good communication,” this is for you.

    Story & Voice Coaching is designed for:

    Leaders preparing for high-stakes talks and presentations

    Entrepreneurs and creatives who need to share their vision

    Change-makers with a message the world needs to hear

    Anyone ready to speak with clarity, confidence, and power

THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR VOICE, NOT YOUR SILENCE

Your story matters. Your presence matters. People don’t connect to perfect words, they connect to the real you. When you stop hiding and start speaking, people see you differently and you start seeing yourself differently too.

THE COACHING EXPERIENCE

First, we find your story
You already have it: the experiences that shaped you, the values that drive you, the truth you keep inside. We start by bringing that story to the surface and putting it into words.

Then, we face what’s in the way
The fears, the nerves, the doubts, the reasons you hold back or stay quiet. Together we uncover what blocks your voice and learn how to move through it.

Next, we shape your voice
This is where your story becomes something you can stand in. We work on presence, delivery, and the ways you naturally connect with people. It is not about polish, it is about being real and being heard.

Finally, we practice in real time
We bring it into the situations that matter most to you, presentations, pitches, media, leadership moments. You will get direct feedback and tools you can use immediately, in any room or space.

  • My journey in entertainment spans every aspect of the industry.

    • Reality TV show production and appearance

    • Major book launch events

    • International tours

    • High-profile media appearances

    • Album production and promotion

    This wasn't just about performing – it was about understanding every angle of how to command attention, from intimate theater settings to stadium-sized crowds. Working with industry legends taught me the subtle techniques that separate good performers from unforgettable ones.

 FAQs

  • This is not about polishing a script or memorizing lines. It’s about finding your story, learning to trust your voice, and showing up with real presence. We work on what makes people listen and connect to you, not on being perfect.

  • That is exactly where we start. I help you uncover the story you already have ( the experiences and values that make you who you are) and shape it into something you can share with clarity and confidence.

  • Nerves are normal. We don’t try to erase them, we learn how to work with them. I’ll show you how to turn nervous energy into focus and power instead of fear.

  • Yes. Some of my clients are CEOs, others are creatives or entrepreneurs. You don’t need to be a performer, you just need to be ready to use your voice.

  • Anything that matters to you: boardroom talks, keynotes, pitches, panels, media appearances, or even everyday leadership conversations. We work on real situations, not hypotheticals.

  • Yes. You have direct access to me before the moments that matter most. So you never walk into a room unprepared or alone.

  • Not at all. Your story doesn’t have to be dramatic to matter. It just has to be yours. People connect to honesty more than they connect to perfection or performance. Even the simplest story, told with truth, can move a room.

Your stage awaits. Your voice is ready. Let’s begin.
