Coaching
Are you ready to grow in leaps and bounds?
So many people think that they are stuck. Perhaps you don’t like your voice. Or have persistent nerves, dread or anxiety around public speaking. Or can’t seem to get that promotion.
Things can change... and quickly!
In both private and small group coaching, you can expect to receive practical tips, powerful technique, and inspiration in every session.
Before you know it, things will change. You’ll find confidence… presence… and begin to create a bigger impact.
What working together is like
First and foremost, we are your biggest allies and strongest support. Being a speaker or a leader can be lonely - but you don't have to go it alone. Instead, choose to have an expert by your side to help you grow into your next level of impact, and to be on hand whenever you need it.
Private work together takes place over Zoom, or in Santa Rosa, California. We are also available for longer intensive sessions throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and upon request can arrange to come to you to teach workshops and private intensives.
Depending on your needs, priorities and time frame, we can focus on two parallel tracks:
-
Skill building. Grow your skills, from confidence to vocal power. This typically involves learning skills a little at a time, until they’re fully integrated. (Read more about this here.)
-
Crafting talks and presentations. We can dramatically improve a current presentation or craft a new one. Depending on how intensively you want to work together, you can:
-
Do a DYI version, with basic pointers given;
-
Craft it and bring it back for feedback and improvement;
-
Have us work with you every step of the way, to ensure it’s powerful, compelling and enrolling.
-
And, after your presentation is crafted, we can take time to polish your delivery so that your nonverbal communication is as effective as your brilliant words.
Coaching Retainers
Most of our senior and executive clients are served through coaching retainers for a minimum of 6 months. Depending on the intensity of coaching you desire - a slow-growth pace meeting twice per month, vs. a more intensive approach to prepare you for an important engagement - we'll set you up so that you get the perfect amount of support to help you grow your skills, confidence, executive presence and impact.

Coaching Packages
Those paying out of pocket, or desiring to get support with a short-term project, may prefer a coaching package designed to move you forward in a short period of time. Why packages instead of individual sessions? Well, this isn’t therapy, where you go week after week, and have no idea how long it’ll take to change. Instead, based on your needs, we’ll focus our energies over a short period to do great things.
While some clients finish a package and then decide to dive in deeper, these packages fit the majority of our clients. (If not, we’re happy to custom-craft something for you too.)
Get Ready to Transform Quickly!
Something important to know: if you want to gain masterful skills quickly - in months instead of years - we’ll help you gain skills in a smaller number of sessions than most other coaches and trainers!
How do we do this? Two-fold. First, through the WholeSpeak Method’s EPIC approach: we’ve been doing this a long time, and can hone in right on what you need. (Learn more over at The WholeSpeak Method.)
Second, private sessions are supplemented by asynchronous online trainings, including Claim Your Voice: Speak with Power and Presence. One of the reasons it was created in the first place? It’s hard for clients to remember everything they are taught live (look up the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve if you want to know the science behind it). This step-by-step online training greatly leverages our time together by letting you learn the essentials yourself, and then personalize and deepen them with your coach in the sessions.
Note: packages and retainers run several thousand dollars and up, and are for professionals wishing to invest in their future. We can discuss details in a Discovery Session, and also offer discounts for those paying out of pocket.
​
Below are two packages we often use.
​
The Foundations Package: Deep Transformation
Ready to dive in and grow your speaking skills, confidence and presence? This 9.5 hour package is good if you have a couple of core goals. For example, we can help you grow confidence and foundational speaking skills, or put together one talk. Here’s what it includes:
-
35-Point Speaking and Presence Assessment. Present live or provide a video of you speaking for 15 minutes, and discover both your hidden strengths as well as areas of growth. While not required, it’s a great way to start out our coaching together in an initial 90-minute session.
-
8 additional coaching hours. Use them at a slower pace (2-3 times per month, 1 hour each) to grow your skills. Or, we can work on a talk more intensively and meet for longer sessions, completing the package in just a few weeks.
-
Claim Your Voice: Speak with Power and Presence. This 10-week online training powerfully supplements our work together, and helps us leverage our private sessions so that we move far faster than in private work alone!
You will be astounded at how fast things will change in only a few months (hence the name). Yes, it’s possible for you. If you want to jumpstart, restart or overhaul your speaking, this is for you.
Your Powerful Voice: Leadership Presence
Are you ready to invest in becoming a powerful speaker and presence who makes a big impact? Want to craft a keynote or multiple smaller presentations? Desire deep inner work to bring out confidence and presence?
This package includes everything in the Transformation Package, as well as:
-
21 total hours of coaching. Use them more intensively to craft a talk, or over 6 months to slowly grow your skills.
-
WhatsApp support, to give you spot coaching when you need it
-
Even more goodies!
​
Group Coaching
Small groups are an effective way to grow your skills, and are available both for individuals as well as teams seeking to grow their speaking skills and organizational culture. Typically led with live 10 weekly sessions, along with the time-tested Claim Your Voice: Speak with Power and Presence training, you'll receive group feedback and direct feedback in every session to ensure you grow the confidence, presence and impactful skills that are waiting for you.
