Authentalk
Five-time national champion speaker Dr. Iain Lampert turns introverted professionals into compelling communicators.
Trusted by clients from…
Your expertise shines in spreadsheets, product specs, or strategy decks.
But the moment you have to explain it out loud, the room tilts. Jargon slips in. Your pace speeds up. You start reading the slides instead of reading the room.
That communication gap can stall promotions, sour client pitches, stunt teams’ growth, and dim the influence you’ve earned.
I’m Dr. Iain, and my trainings close that gap..
In 2025, 400+ clients competed in speech contests; 95%+ won awards.
Authentalk’s training program blends national championship technique with business-tested strategy, so you can:
Handle curveballs like a champion — answer objections before they’re even asked
Tell stories that stick — using the E.P.I.C. system
Lead with confidence — in pitches, meetings, and keynotes
Presentations featured by TEDx, Toastmasters, the National Speech and Debate Association, and more.
I like breaking records with rhetoric. Victories include…
National champion competitor
American Mock Trial Association (x2)
International Public Debate Association (x2)
Professional Speech and Debate Association
National champion coach
American Association for Justice
American Mock Trial Association
National Speech and Debate Association (x9)
Why come to Authentalk for communication coaching?
Better results.
I’ve coached 1,600+ speakers—from Beijing third‑graders to L.A. trial lawyers—to first place awards in speech tournaments. My methods earned me five national titles and 75 contest championships. They’ll help you do the same.
Better feedback.
I’ve spent over 15 years analyzing 10,000 feedback forms on effective public speaking from evaluators of all backgrounds. I know what messages work for audiences, what makes them stick long after the speech is over, and how to guide mentees to get there.
Better experience.
TED talker. Keynote speaker for Toastmasters leaders. Five‑star podcast host. Whether it’s interviews, internal comms, spontaneous speaking, acting, oratory, debate, or trial advocacy, I get what it takes for you to shine in any setting.

Kevin Yang, Senior Product Manager, Google:
“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.”
