VOICE AND PRESENTATION COACHING
Are you ready to talk the talk?
This is voice and presentation coaching like you've never seen it before.
We're here to help you raise the bar when it comes to perfecting your presentation, stopping at nothing to give you the skills you need to own the room.
“This course was illuminating not only as to how we speak in presentations, but also on how we craft stories and build decks. Christine opened our eyes to being more present in the room, to being intentional about our audience and about how to be more personable/relatable.”

Creative Director, B-Reel
YOUR AUTHENTIC VOICE
Own your artistry with powerful story-telling
No one else has a voice quite like yours. As an innovator in your field, your creativity, experience and authenticity are what make you so incredibly unique, and the sound of your voice should reflect that. Whether it’s telling your story, sharing an idea, or boldly going where no creative mind has gone before;
The world is waiting to hear what you have to say.
-
Maybe you're presenting a complex idea to your team. Maybe you’re managing important client relationships, or pitching strategies to major stakeholders confidently and on-brand. Or maybe you’re doing all of the above. Wherever you sit in the process, speaking publicly can feel intimidating and may even fill you with dread. The type of dread that jumbles your thoughts, causes memory blanks, creates awkward pauses that make you lose your flow, or stops the words coming out altogether. Your body and voice may betray you, blowing your cover with uncomfortable body language, shaky hands, a trembling voice and crazy amounts of sweat.
The idea of passionately sharing your creative work to engage and inspire an audience may feel like an impossible task, reserved for only the most skilled Jedi master. But just like Obi-Wan, we’re here to guide you in overcoming your presentation nerves, so you can become the master of your own voice.
Read on to learn how we do it.
