Imagine honing your influence and persuasiveness as a speaker in an increasingly digital world. Take a trip down memory lane with me. Back in the sixth grade, amidst teenage angst, braces and a fan crush on Madonna, I found myself gripped by the desire to be as cool and self-assured as my classmates. The allure of fitting in, whether it was donning Guess Jeans or Outback Red sweatshirts, was enticing, but there was one thing I coveted most - the effortless confidence of Marsha Johnson, who sat boldly in the front row. Like many of you, I felt more comfortable being a silent observer from the back row. I was a quiet participant, terrified of voicing my thoughts for fear of sounding uninformed or appearing foolish. The dread of being randomly called upon to respond was all too real - a fear that encapsulated my classroom experience and extended into my personal life. But everything shifted when I discovered the transformative world of theatre and improv. This space allowed me to liberate my voice, to stumble, to learn, and to revel in my beautifully flawed self. Today, I leverage this experience and the tools I've acquired to help my clients unlock their potential and exude confidence in their professional lives. Connect with me and I guarantee that you and your team will transform into compelling and credible speakers. You'll inspire, educate and leave a lasting impact on your customers and colleagues alike. Drawing on my diverse experiences as an award-winning theatre director, producer, and former Second City improv teacher, I understood the striking parallels between nightly stage performances and daily client presentations. But, there was a missing piece - many professionals lacked the tools to truly bring their narratives to life. Determined to fill this gap, I stepped up to the plate.
