Adding Sparkle to Your Speeches | I help CEOs and Speakers develop and deliver compelling speeches | Public Speaking Coach & Consultant | Public Speaking Workshops | Speaker | Entrepreneur

Hi, I’m Eva—owner of The Speak Shop.

I coach CEOs, leaders, and professional speakers to craft and deliver speeches that captivate audiences and elevate their influence.

For two decades, I worked behind the scenes with bestselling authors, pastors, innovators, and change-makers—producing broadcasts, podcasts, YouTube shows, and writing speeches that reached millions. Along the way, I learned a simple truth:

👉 Even the world’s best speakers have a communication expert in their corner.

That’s where I come in.

You’re too close to your own content to see what works (and what doesn’t). I give you the direct, honest feedback most people won’t—and then coach you to deliver with confidence, clarity, and authenticity. I’m not swayed by titles, fame, or status. My only focus: helping you become unforgettable on stage.

What I’m most passionate about:
✨ Sharpening your thought-leadership so your give the talk only you can give 
✨ Turning your stories into sticky, powerful moments that audiences remember
✨ Helping you weave in humor so your message lands with impact and personality

The result? More standing ovations. Longer book-signing lines. Bigger impact. And yes—more paid speaking opportunities.

Because here’s what I believe: You have a message the world needs. And with the right coaching, you can become the most engaging and sought-after thought leader in your space.

I work with clients 1:1 and also train teams in the art of public speaking.

But don’t just take it from me. Dave Ramsey once said:

“Eva helped me and The Ramsey Personalities with talks for several years while on our team. She is smart, energetic, creative, and fun to work with developing world-class communication!”

Hi, I’m Eva, the owner of The Speak Shop.

I help thought-leaders like you develop and deliver compelling content.

I spent a couple decades working with some of the nation’s top authors, speakers, pastors, innovators, renegades, and rebel-rousers, producing broadcasts, podcasts, YouTube shows and writing speeches.

I learned a lot.

One of the biggest things I learned is that the greatest speakers and communicators in the world have a communication expert in their corner.

You are too close to your content. 

I’m the person who comes in and gives you the honest feedback you need to level up your content and your delivery. I’m not intimidated by your fame, power, or status and I’ll tell you kindly and directly what you need to do to elevate your thought-leadership.  I’ll also coach you through how to deliver it in a confident and authentic way.  

If you hire me I’m super passionate about story-telling and humor. They are the two skills that help speakers make the leap from good to great.  I’ll push you to be better in both because they matter.

I believe you have a message within you that needs to be shared with the world. 

Let me help you become the most engaging and sought-after thought-leader in your space.

Contact me so we can make this happen.

I provide 1:1 coaching and public speaking training for your team.

P.S. I'm also a lot of fun. I'm an enneagram 7 w 8. I'm a mom of four. I've traveled a lot. Cooked a lot. Read a lot. Love being outside more then in.

I’m thrilled to announce my first ever product!

There are moments we perfectly plan our words.

Then there is reality which is full of moments when everything goes off the rails.

For years I’ve worked with clients helping them get better at off the cuff speaking with unexpected and funny prompts. 

I always thought it would be fun to create my own deck of cards.

With the design brilliance of Weylon Smith and a playing card company based in Florida they are a reality!

With directions for personal or group use (they’ve even been fun at our dinner table) I got them just in time for stocking stuffers.

I’d love your answer to one of the questions below: have you ever had a failed DIY attempt? What happened?

P.S. Get your deck here: https://lnkd.in/eYncCXz9

When I became a speech writer for Dave Ramsey, I’d never actually written a speech for anyone else.

I'd been in the radio industry for over 15 years. I’d written hundreds of radio scripts, I'd given plenty of speeches myself, but when it came to writing a full-blown keynote for someone else, I’d never done it.

What I quickly learned is that writing a speech can feel completely and totally overwhelming.

Where do you even start? 🤯

No pressure.

Seven years later, I’ve written (and helped others write) hundreds of speeches. 

Regardless of how big the story, how long or short the time (don’t be fooled by a short speech, they can be harder because you have so little time!), or how much there is to cover, I rarely get overwhelmed.

That’s because I have a process.

The truth (and good news) is that when you break it down into a series of steps, the entire process feels manageable. Take it a step at a time and, before you know it, you’ll have a speech you can deliver.

This series of steps works regardless if you have an hour to prep, a month, or a year. You CAN write a great speech.

This carousel breaks down the six steps I use and guide others through.

I'd love to hear from you - what is your process for writing a speech?

How to Write a Speech in Six Steps

Most people practice for the big presentation. Few practice for the unexpected off the cuff moments. 

Tech fails.

Off-topic questions.

A hostile audience member.

None of these have to knock you off your game.

Impromptu speaking is not a talent that you’re born with, it’s a skill you can hone through practice.

This carousel breaks down 7 ways you can actually increase your credibility in those unplanned moments.

(It's also why I created my new Off the Cuff cards!)

I'd love to hear from you, do you like impromptu speaking? How do you work on it?

7 Ways to Master Off the Cuff Speaking

A personal low was the holiday season in which I was very single and my dad offered to pay for eHarmony. 😂 

I didn't take him up on the offer. 

So, as your friendly speech coach, here are 10 speeches NOT to give to anyone at any holiday gathering this season. 

This is meant to be humorous and to give you a laugh.

And just remember if you're on the receiving end of one of these speeches be grateful for the family you have, don’t dwell on the one you don’t have, and raise your glass to another year spent spinning around the sun (and if needed, spike the cider!).

Any speeches you'd add to this list? 😅

10 Speeches Not to Give This Holiday Season

The very best thing about Linkedin is taking it to real life!

Had an awesome morning hanging with Jessica Lalley talking about life, business, and all the things in between.

I met Jessica here several years ago. We’ve partnered with many clients, and have cheered each other on. I’d never have met her if I’d never said yes to hitting post.

Who is someone amazing you’ve met in real life from this platform? Tag them below!

A lot of my life looks like zooms with clients or watching them speak on stages.

Some days are out of the box.

Today was one of those where I got to lean back on the 15 years I spent in radio and podcasting. 

It was amazing working with Theresa Harper Bruno recording a couple episodes of her show. 

(Also fun to meet Lindsay Lawler and Dave Barnes and to see the Dark Horse recording studios!).

Today made me miss my first professional love of producing interviews deep in my soul.

Radio. Podcasts. Interviews. All will forever be my first professional love.

I’d love to hear from you, what was your first professional love?

I pass “Cow Chow” on the way to my favorite coffee shop and it's some of the best marketing I’ve seen in awhile. Here’s why…

It’s fun to say. 

Go ahead. Say it out loud. Cow chow, cow chow, cow chow. 

Two words, and yet I know exactly what is being sold.

Even though I don’t know who is selling it, it feels totally on brand for the seller. I bet the seller of “cow chow” doesn’t have a slick website, an email marketing series to go along with this, or is spending ANY time working on his personal branding on Linkedin. 

I know who the buyer is. An owner of cows that needs some chow for them.

Clear call to action. Call if you need it. 

Honestly, I think it’s easy to overcomplicate my marketing as a small business owner. I think i need a bit more “cow chow” and a bit less polish. 

What about you? Do you like the “cow chow” marketing method here?

Small business over here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I started The Speak Shop three years ago to make the world a better place one speech at a time.

Here’s what I do:

✅ 1:1 speech coaching

I work with professional speakers and outward facing CEOs to develop and deliver compelling speeches.

I do this through full day keynote catalysts where we knock out your speech in a day, and also through monthly retainer plans.

I give you the clear, specific, actionable feedback you need to level up.

✅ The Speak School

This is my public speaking membership group. It includes two zooms a month which combines live interactive teaching and speech critiques, a monthly custom pdf, and challenges to keep you motivated alongside a group of others.

✅ Team training

I customize a plan and work alongside your team virtually or in person over a series of 4-8 sessions. 

I equip your team on the skills they need to crush their jobs from how to create a presentation quickly, how to deal with nerves, and how to deliver with confidence.

✅ Speaking & workshops

I speak on speaking 😂.

I bring both inspiration and the practical public speaking skills your team or event needs to conquer their next presentation.

✅ Off the Cuff cards.

To be used as an individual or as a team, these cards help your spark creativity, think fast, and speak sharp.

In all my coaching I’m a content-first speech coach. I focus my energy on creating with you the speech only you can give that showcases your unique stories, expertise, and frameworks. Once that’s established I’ll help you nail your delivery.

If you have a business I’d love to hear what you do in the comments 👇

Want to know one thing GREAT speakers do?

They speak with vocal variety.

They don't speak too fast and they don't speak in monotones. 

They understand things like volume, pitch, and tone. 

The good news is this is something we can all learn. 

But...how do you add it and where do you put it?

In this carousel I share seven ways you can add vocal variety to your presentation. 

I'd love to hear from you - do you struggle with adding vocal variety to your talk? How do you add it?

For anyone who has ordered Off The Cuff cards just know each deck was specially packed by Charlie.

I’ve refrained from critiquing the technique or efficiency of his system 😂.
