Communication Skills
These courses are designed to enhance business professionals’ public speaking skills. Through various language exercises, role playing, mini presentations and guided feedback, attendees will improve their presentations and become aware of their body language and posture, while speaking.
These techniques are most useful in all aspects of successful engagements such as speaking at client meetings, 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.
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.
