Help for Public Speakers

"When a bad helper helps you, you are angry at the helper who wasted your time.
When a good helper helps you, you are grateful and offer praise.
When a great helper helps you, you say, "I did it myself!"*

The job of the helper is to help you be your best self,
using your best gifts, in the service of your best goals.  

How Can I Help You as a Speaker?

I offer individual coaching via phone, video calls, and in person. I am also offering a 3-hour (2 sessions of 90 minutes each) online course in March, 2018. (See below.)

I am an expert on helping you get the most from incorporating stories in your speech—and creating a seamless whole that both moves and edifies your listeners.
