Authentalk
Supercharge your confidence by speaking like a national champion — so you’re valued, trusted, and promoted.
You’ve mastered your subject matter. But when it’s time to communicate your ideas?
You ramble or rely on notes.
People miss the point.
You miss out on promotions, funding, and trust.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Dr. Iain Lampert, a five-time national speaking champion, coach to 28 national champion teams, and trainer of 1,600+ contest winners.
Authentalk’s training program blends national championship public speaking technique with business-tested strategy.
I’ve taken the systems used to build debate champions and adapted them for experts, executives, and emerging leaders from organizations like:
Presentations featured by TEDx, Toastmasters, the National Speech and Debate Association, and more.
National championships from the American Mock Trial Association, International Public Debate Association, Professional Speech and Debate Association, American Association for Justice, National Speech and Debate Association, and Tournament of Champions.
-
I’ve coached 1,600+ speakers—from CPG executives in Latin America to engineers in Shanghai—to first place awards in speech tournaments. My methods earned me five national titles and 76 contest championships. They’ll help you do the same.
-
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.

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.”
