Coaching & Training
-
Become a successful speaker.
-
Learn how to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you.
-
Land the job with your perfectly polished public speaking.
Our first impression in the workplace is controlled by our ability to present well and project a professional image. Successful speakers tell good stories, 'break the script,' use appropriate humor, value visual aids, and help the audience solve a problem. Stephanie prepares clients to exceed audience expectations each time they speak. Videotaping, feedback, and practice move speakers from the status quo (or worse) to meaningful and memorable.
