You probably wouldn't hire a chemist who lacks safety training. You surely wouldn't partner with a software engineer who can't code. So why do we expect ourselves to excel at public speaking without training? PS Public Speaking will tailor your workshop to your organization's specific needs — so that you can truly show what you know.

Individual coaching
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, you may be eager to take your public speaking to the next level. There are many ways to be an effective communicator - your approach needs to match your personality and your specific purpose. Pending availability, we can take on a small number of individuals for one-on-one coaching sessions. We will tailor the format to your needs, but typically you will give one or more talks and receive detailed feedback and exercises for reinforcing your strengths and expanding into new areas of presentation excellence.
