How Do I Overcome a Fear of Judgment When Presenting?
"What if they think I'm stupid?" I hear some version of that sentence more than almost anything else in my coaching practice. Sometimes it's said outright. Other times it shows up dressed up a little differently, such as "I'm afraid I'll come across like I don't know...
How Should I Prepare for a College Admission Interview?
If your student is applying to college this year (of you're the student) there's a good chance their essays have already been touched by AI in some way, even if just to brainstorm or polish. Admissions offices know this. And it's part of why the interview, when it's...
Why Do I Sound Uncertain Even When I’ve Prepared?

Can Introverts Be Good Public Speakers?
Yes. Not despite being an introvert, but often because of it. As an introvert who works as a public speaking coach for introverts (along with everyone else), I get this reaction a lot: "Really? You don't seem like an introvert." It's said as a compliment, but it's...
Do I Really Need Business Etiquette Training?
It's a fair question. Your team might be doing okay. You could be reading your targets, or realize that no one has complained about behavior from their colleagues. But sometimes, something feels off and you find yourself searching for more information about business...
How I Help Clients Develop an Authentic and Confident Speaking Style
When I work with clients, my goal isn’t to change how they sound. It’s to help them sound more like themselves - with confidence. I want them to develop an authentic speaking style. Because an authentic speaking style is the foundation for feeling confident. One of...
Why Do I Ramble – And How Do I Stop?
Rambling is one of the most common communication habits people want to fix. And it makes sense — few things undermine your credibility faster than losing your train of thought in front of an audience, or watching someone's eyes glaze over while you're still talking....
