Why come to Authentalk for communication coaching?

Better results.

I’m a national communication champion. I’ve coached over 1,600 students, from third graders in Beijing to trial attorneys in Los Angeles, to public speaking championships—plus over 200 national placements.

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 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.
