Speak Up Speak Out with Confidence.

I love the Henry David Thoreau quote to “go confidently in the direction of your dreams!” But what if you’re not exactly sure what that dream is or if you do, you're asking yourself how do I get there . . . confidently. As a public speaking and life coach with over 20 years of experience I have helped men and women using specific tools and strategies that assist in creating a clear roadmap. My 5 Element System for clear, authentic, confident communication is key in every life endeavor, whether you’re giving a presentation, contemplating a career pivot, wrestling with challenging relationships (family, work, friends), want to feel more confident, are overwhelmed with parenthood, caregiving, or an 'out of whack’ work/life balance or just restless with the status quo, my role is to help you create and navigate a life map with clear actionable steps for a successful outcome. Using a holistic model I integrate the various tools I have learned along the way as an educator, public speaking coach, professional actor, mindfulness practitioner, workshop leader and mother. Every person is unique, and every plan uniquely customized. Within these big life issues clients come to me with specific needs which often include: Strategizing work flow: organizing, prioritizing, communicating effectively and efficiently How to address time sensitive matters which require Immediate actionable steps Gain confidence in communicating in groups, one on one and in difficult conversations Explore and break through limiting beliefs that are obstacles to success Get guidance and support for the demands of parenthood and/or caregiving Determine and implement a healthy work/life balance In addition to coaching I offer the following workshops: *******Building Resiliency: The Power of Play and Compassion *******Beyond Technology: Communicating in the 21st Century *******Inside Out - A Group Poem Collaborative for non-native English Speakers *******Speak Up Speak Out with Confidence “. . . live the life you’ve imagined.”
