Why is Authentalk better at communication coaching?

Dr. Iain Lampert is a 71-time communication champion (including five national championships). He’s coached over 1,500 students, from third graders in Beijing to trial attorneys in Los Angeles, to public speaking championships—plus over 200 national placements.

Better feedback.

Better follow-up.

Every client—from one-on-one mentees to group training attendees—receives both on-the-spot feedback and/or personalized, post-training action plans tailored to their unique goals for growth—specificity guaranteed.

Read about Authentalk’s backstory.

Trusted training for speech success at scale.

From the first session, I learned structure and concepts that had an immediate impact on my communication and presentation effectiveness. I recommend Iain to any company looking to amplify their message through more effective public speaking.
— Dan Baker, VP of Global Commercialization and Sales, Cardinal Health
Iain is a pure genius when it comes to speech...I’ve lost track of the number of national and international awards our students have to thank him for. He seems to be an expert in everything public speaking related.

More importantly, we’re grateful for Iain’s charisma, humor, and passion. He knows exactly how to motivate our students, and I’m constantly amazed by Iain’s empathy and patience for ESL mentees.
— Max Wang, Partner, Stoooges Education
Iain is truly extraordinary at teaching how to give compelling, impromptu presentations in a professional setting. Previous to my work with Iain, my presentations were not only less clear and fluid, but would also induce a ton of anxiety. After working with Iain, senior stakeholders on my team have noticed how much more calm and coherent I’ve become. I highly recommend you work with Iain if you want to be a clearer communicator in the workplace.
— Kevin Yang, Senior Product Manager, Google
Each one of us has a hero we don’t deserve. Iain has been an incredibly positive influence in my public speaking development.

It has always been a positive experience being around Iain, whether listening to him in front of the debate podium or outside of the classroom. He is genuinely interested and open-minded about any topic. I always have something to learn from our conversations. He also has a uniquely creative mastery of tone, articulation, and language that engages the audience.
