If you want me to coach you for a public speaking engagement, or want to work with me on developing a presentation, you don’t have to be in Washington, DC! I can coach you via Skype. As long as you have a decent camera and microphone on your computer or iPad, we can accomplish nearly as much as if I were with you in person. Just think of the advantages: you don’t have to travel anywhere, you can have a mug of your favorite herbal tea nearby, and you can pet your cat to make public speaking less stressful. Only one thing I ask that you don’t do: work with me in your pajamas!

So, if you’ve got a presentation coming up that you want some coaching for, you need another pair of eyes and ears helping you develop a talk, or you want to refine your unique speaking style, just remember that I am available to help you, no matter where you are, via Skype.

I look forward to working with you!

Last night we went to the Shakespeare Theatre Company here in DC to hear a conversation with James Earl Jones.  I had forgotten, until he reminded us, that he is a stutterer.  We always think of him as the voice – the voice of Mustafa, the voice of Darth Vader, the voice of CNN, and so on. But as an adolescent, he didn’t say much because he didn’t want to stutter.  A high school teacher discovered that he liked poetry, and had him read his own poetry to the class.  Something about the rhythm of the words kept the stutter at bay.  Jones said that if there’s an underlying pattern, or truth, to what you’re saying, then it overrides the stutter – whether the pattern is vocal, or if it’s an idea.  Interesting stuff!  It shows that anyone who want to can be a great speaker, no matter what you’re dealt!
