I love my work as a speaking, story performance and presentation skills coach/trainer; and a strategic brand messaging consultant. I have the great joy of working with corporate CEOs and management, entrepreneurs, professional advisors and nonprofit leaders coaching them to bring forth their natural style and authentic voice. They learn to connect with their audiences through compelling content and organization, powerful stories, creative expression and emotional engagement techniques. My approach to coaching is driven by extensive experience as a performer on stage reaching local, national and international audiences. By performing on more than 1,000 stages and traveling with the international organization, Up With People, (performing at the Super Bowl halftime show and the Indianapolis 500), I can assist my clients in avoiding the pitfalls of the platform and shine brightly!My specific areas of focus include keynotes and presentations, sales and marketing presentations and messaging, internal presentations and communication strategies, and executive presence. I train groups in presentations skills, story performance, business presentation interpersonal communication, meeting effectiveness and strategic brand messaging.As a business leadership speaker and motivational speaker, I combine the practical experience and expertise I've gained in the worlds of business and nonprofit leadership and share stories of transformation. I have authored two books -- Ah Ha! 100 Flashes of Insight and Inspiration from Your Authentic Voice and Finding Your Authentic Voice: Seven Practices to Free the Real You and Experience Love, Happiness and Fulfillment, about her Your Authentic Voice® System.
