Elevate your leadership presence to speak with empathetic authority

I work with empathetic leaders who have deep knowledge—often technical—and want to elevate out of the details to speak with authority.

In private and group coaching sessions, I handcraft tools to align attention and decrease anxiety so you can think on your feet under pressure.

I design a process for your voice so you get personalized, actionable feedback and tangible custom-built tools to put into practice in real time so you can speak with ease immediately.

These science-backed, simple tools have been crafted and tested with thousands of leaders over the past decade. PresentVoices clients report 94.3% improved confidence when communicating and 92.5% improved speaking up in meetings.

Our sessions simulate your most important meetings and moments while providing supportive coaching to strengthen your ability to articulate your authority.

 

I’m Lee

As a Leadership Communication Coach, I’ve spent the past ten years coaching mostly technical, empathetic leaders to speak with more presence in their most important meetings, interviews, and presentations.

In deeply connected sessions with individuals, groups, and teams over the past decade, I’ve witnessed thousands of leaders—software engineers, technical leaders, data analysts, scientists, physicians, and product managers speak with more comfort and ease.

This work has helped leaders in nearly every industry elevate out of the details of their expertise to articulate their vision—and use their voice—with more intention and clarity.

Comfortable Confidence

This approach leverages your expertise to be more fully present under pressure. It’s about channeling habitual fillers and fidgeting and unlocking your voice from perfectionism and over-thinking:

Anchor and align attention to get out of your head

Regulate nervous system to increase hormonal confidence

Practice frameworks for when you’re put on the spot

 

Each session is designed from the ground up to help you:

  • Communicate confidently with a personalized framework of practical tools designed just for you

  • Manage nerves and anxiety by aligning brain, breath, and body so you can regulate your nervous system and focus your attention

  • Take up more space or make space for others in conversations by cultivating conversational comfort and pausing on purpose

  • Focus your attention so you can think on your feet and speak off-the-cuff without losing your train of thought

  • Stop over-working and prepare in an efficient and effective way

  • Practice for upcoming presentations, meetings, and challenging conversations

  • Introduce yourself and your work with clarity and confidence

  • Organize ideas strategically when put on the spot and respond in a cohesive, concise, and compelling way
