Public speaking skills | Thought leadership consulting for women | Creating scalable offers and keynotes
You’re ready to share your expertise and unique perspective with a wider audience, but maybe your public speaking skills aren’t where you want them to be, or you've been sharing your message without a strategy.
Trust me, I get it.
I know what it feels like to be bursting with a big idea you know will make meaningful progress toward the world you wish to see.
I also know what it’s like to do podcast guesting, presentations, and webinars without a strategy, limiting your visibility, reach, and overall impact.
I’ve learned strategies, tips, and tools to help me along the way and here on the Her Spoken Image podcast, I'm bringing you those lessons and over 15 years of corporate experience in which I’ve taught others how to plan, prepare for, and deliver presentations with confidence.
Think of me as your speaking coach supporting you in your Thought Leadership journey.
Along the way, we’ll also break through some patriarchal barriers and gender norms to help you become the trailblazing feminist entrepreneur you desire to be.
