1:1 Speaker Coaching

Take the Stage

Being a great speaker takes practice, skill and a willingness to be seen, heard and take up space.

If you’ve been asked to speak at an event, or have a workshop or keynote you’re planning - even a podcast to record - I’ll make the process so much easier. And fun.

I’ll help you

  • Draft the outline

  • Decide on your key message

  • Choose the story to highlight

  • Structure the talk

  • Write the speech (Or some of my clients get me to write it for them!)

  • Practice the delivery

  • Boost your confidence on why you’re words matter!

I’ve been on my own speaking journey since I started my business.

At the time, my mom, a formidable public speaker, was losing her ability to communicate from cognitive decline. As I navigated this heartbreak, I found myself at a Toastmasters meeting, brushing up on my own public speaking skills - determined to take the stage and carry on her legacy.

If you have a desire to take the stage with confidence, I’ll help you deliver a talk that connects you to your audience in the most powerful way possible.

Let my Speaking & Speech Writing Clients tell you their results

  • “I had no idea what to expect when it came to working with a public speaking and speech writing coach; which is a bit ironic considering it's something I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity to do quite regularly. From the moment we hopped on a call together, the insight Linda was able to share was really eye opening. It allowed me to take a few steps back to unravel the inner workings and details of a very complex story, and understand how to deliver the key messages in a succinct and memorable way. I was able to hone in on the most impactful version of my story in the way I had hoped. Having the opportunity to workshop ideas, and actually go through the speech writing process, helped me gain the confidence to move, motivate and inspire others - more than I ever thought possible. I will tap into Linda’s services again in the future for public speaking opportunities; especially when the topic is something I’m personally and deeply connected to. Linda was an invaluable pillar and resource for me, and I’m appreciative of everything she offered. To be able to work with her is something I’d highly recommend time and time again.”

  • “Working with Linda helped me to have clarity on the important points of my talk for Creative Mornings - Winnipeg. I have so much to say about my topic and I could have easily used up my allotted time and not arrived at the important details I wanted to mention. I felt confident after my initial meeting with Linda and hashing out all the ideas I had in my head. She is a good listener and was able to reflect on what she was hearing from me and provided solid advice on my next steps in writing, editing and polishing up my talk. I wouldn't have delivered a talk that I feel proud about if it wasn't for Linda's guidance and coaching!”

  • “Linda's talent for writing is truly remarkable. When I embarked on launching my podcast and needed assistance, she was the obvious choice. I hired her again for her expertise in perfecting my signature talk, and Linda transformed my initial draft into a captivating narrative, enhancing its storytelling and flow beyond my expectations. Now, as I prepare to step onto the stage, I'm filled with excitement and confidence, all thanks to Linda's invaluable contributions. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate their content and delivery.”
