Giving a speech is like doing a monologue on the stage. My unique artistic and performing skills are effective in  coaching business and organizational professionals preparing to give a speech in either a corporate, conference or public setting.  Each session involves feedback as you give your speech and may include vocal, physical or mental exercises designed to aid you in discovering a more relaxed, fluid and confident presenting style.

 

​Goals​​​

• Build confidence and personableness.

• Empower speakers to engage listeners at a deeper level.

• Create exceptional and memorable presentations by drawing out your natural passion for your subject.

 

Technique

• Increasing awareness of how movement and physicality can be adjusted to improve audience focus and engagement. 

• Increasing ability to communicate effectively through the understanding of the concepts of dynamics, tempo, articulation and phrasing and how they can be manipulated to more effectively convey ideas and build energy. 

• Clarifying content, enhancing content format and maximizing the flow of ideas.

​

​Sessions

• Recommend 2 to 4 with time in between sessions for personal practice and edits of material. 

• Packages designed and priced based on number of sessions required and location of practice session.

• I can be available to work with you at the presentation site within Chicagoland for maximum confidence in presenting.

"Mary helped me to prepare for a speaking engagement at a professional conference

held in CA.  She gave me feedback on my vocal inflection and body movement and

was able to streamline my content. She helped me to see how my movements could

be distracting to listeners and made me aware of ways to enliven my speech so it

sounded more natural. As a musician, I was able to grasp suggestions and musical

omparisons she made and apply them right away.   It was an invigorating process  

to work together."
