Communication Skills
These courses are designed to enhance public speaking skills for business professionals. The Find Your Voice curriculum consists of language exercises, role playing, mini presentations and guided feedback. Attendees will improve their presentation skills and become aware of their body language and posture, while speaking.
These techniques are useful in all speaking engagements, from small interactions such as speaking at client meetings, to larger scale seminars and conferences. For lawyers, these are most advantageous in opening submissions, at mediations, motions and trials.

Testimonials
Stephanie’s coaching reinforced the importance of delivering content in an effective and compelling manner. To ensure these lessons resonate, she takes it one step further, and takes the time to ensure you understand the strategies and tools to achieve these goals.
As a senior management consultant, public speaking is just part of the job. However, the key to delivering a good message, is not just the speech, but it’s your hands, your feet, the speed of your voice; it’s your entire body. For me, Stephanie has helped me realize that I was taking away from my message with a lot of body movement, and a very fast delivery. Focusing on standing tall, looking at my audience and connecting with my spoken word, has been very beneficial, both in a small group settings and in a large townhall forum.
Stephanie was instrumental in preparing me for my first TED talk. While I am not a stranger to being on stage, this presentation was my announcement to the world that I am going to dedicate my life to technology and education. Stephanie worked with me during the sometimes stressful process of writing and delivering a talk worthy of being on a TED stage to prepare me to deliver my idea worth spreading.
The nature of the litigation practice has changed over the years with the result that we are in court less frequently. To prevent ourselves from losing our oral advocacy skills, a group of us retained Stephanie to work with us and practice those skills. The process was very successful and we continued attending weekly sessions with Stephanie for almost three years.
Stephanie created exercises for the group and provided feedback on performance issues that we considered very valuable. It was so valuable that we arranged for her to continue working with our young lawyers.
Stephanie is an excellent public speaking teacher who always brings enthusiasm to her classes, and provides valuable constructive feedback to help you develop as an effective communicator.
Public speaking can be an uncomfortable exercise, but Stephanie encourages you to push your boundaries and step out of your comfort zone. With Stephanie’s coaching, I have become more confident when delivering presentations and oral arguments. Over the past three years, she has taught me how to avoid bad habits, use my voice effectively, and capture the attention of my audience.
Stephanie shared some great tips with me as I prepared for some of my upcoming public speaking engagements. Applying her simple yet impactful suggestions made a significant difference in both my preparation and delivery. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone in business who is preparing to speak to a small group or large audience. Her thoughtful approach provided me with specific pre-speaking grounding tools and also high level enhancements to consider throughout my entire delivery. My overall experience working with Stephanie was very uplifting.
