Private Communication Coaching Customized to Your Voice and Your Rooms
Your sounding board and thought partner for the moments your voice disappears, and you can't afford for it to.
“This isn't just about communication. It really is about finding your voice in a world that needs it more than ever.” — Sarah, General Counsel
You used to speak with more ease.
Then something shifted, a promotion, a new role, a bigger room, and now your voice disappears exactly where it matters most.
You're completely yourself with your team. Then a senior leader walks in, and something shuts off. The inconsistency is the exhausting part, you never know which version of you is going to show up.
You've tried:
Over-preparing (scripting everything for hours)
Traditional executive presence training
Recording yourself
Beta blockers
But the harder you try, the worse it gets.
The Method
It's not about becoming a "better" communicator. It's about learning to stay yourself in your hardest rooms, whichever specific rooms those are for you.
In private coaching, your framework gets built entirely around your specific triggers, your specific rooms, and your specific situations.
“This work has helped me commit to my own voice, be present in my life and preserve my ability to value my perspective while taking up space in the world.”
— Director, Systems Improvement
This isn't a program you follow. It's fully customized to:
Your specific triggers (senior leaders? groups? investors? conflict?)
Your leadership stage (first-time manager? director? VP? entrepreneur?)
Your actual speaking situations (presentations, meetings, pitches, interviews)
Your unique fulcrum point (what got you here won't get you there)
How it Works
We work together 1:1 over 3- or 6-month increments.
Each private coaching process includes:
Bi-weekly 1:1 virtual private sessions where we work on your real situations
Unlimited asynchronous messaging support
A visual roadmap with your personal toolbox
A thought partner as you prepare for important moments

What This Work Actually Is
This isn't about fixing you.
You're responding rationally to hierarchical, alpha-dominant cultures, not a personal failing.
This isn't about performing confidence.
You don't need to become someone else. You need structure to find yourself under pressure.
This isn't about memorizing scripts.
Over-preparation perpetuates the problem. You'll learn to organize your thinking on the go instead.
What changes:
You stop obsessively preparing and start preparing efficiently.
You access your authority consistently, not just when you're comfortable.
You speak up in the rooms where your voice used to disappear.
You influence with intention, using your empathy as a strength, not something to hide.
I Created This Work Because I Needed It
I kept meeting brilliant people who were considering leaving careers they loved because of speaking anxiety.
My approach is all about presence, not perfection, because I believe you're confident when you're comfortable.

Contact me above so we can get to know each other.
After signing up, you'll complete an intake form to help me design our process around your goals.
We meet every other week for a 60-minute private session on Zoom.
After each session, I email you a recap and personalized plan so you have full clarity on what to work on.
You're encouraged to be in touch with me between sessions.
-
This work is personalized for your voice and daily moments. We build tools based on what already works for you, so it folds naturally into your communication. It works because it's yours. And if you've had experiences that made you feel like the problem is you, that's usually the first thing we address together.
If executive presence training has left you feeling more exhausted and less yourself, not more confident, that's a sign the approach was the problem, not you.
-
That makes complete sense, and it's more common than you might think. This isn't the kind of work that asks more of you. It's the kind that helps you stop spending energy in ways that aren't working. You don't need to be ready or resourced. You just need to be curious about a different approach. If you're not sure, email me. We can just talk.
-
Our sessions go beyond theoretical. In each one, we're practicing and implementing tools so you feel prepared to bring this work into your biggest moments, whether we're practicing for being put on the spot or preparing for a specific presentation.
-
It's actually the best time. You're building new relationships and establishing how you want to be seen before the patterns of the new environment set in.
