Private Public Speaking Coaching

I taught 2-3 public speaking classes per year for 22 years. I have coached 2 dozen TEDx speakers and have privately coached CEOs and executives to improve their presenting skills. I know I can help you.

Are people riveted by your speaking?
Do your presenting skills allow your message to resonate?
Do your speaking skills live up to your leadership skills?
Do you expect to speak effectively or ineffectively?

A great message isn’t always enough to move people. The presence & power of the speaker to bring that message home completes the picture.

Increase your confidence and triple your impact on your audience

One-on-one, we examine your speaking skills and give you exercises to help you improve. Discover innate confidence by adjusting your thinking. Learn dozens of mechanical skills that help audience members connect with you. Being a strong speaker isn’t rocket science but can make your message come alive, make your presentations fun, and be one that people take to heart. 

Meet Charlie

A twice-tenured professor of communication and theatre for 22 years, Charlie has learned to compose and deliver inspiring messages on how to make employees feel more valued. His presence is engaging and makes you forget you’re listening to a speech. His experience makes him enthusiastic and compelling, yet down-to earth. He has coached 30 TEDx speakers and given two of his own. He has three degrees in theatre and loves lighting an audience on fire.
