I’ve been doing public speaking since I was a teenager (three cheers for the Bronx High School of Science Speech and Debate Team). I am an experienced host, facilitator, panelist, debater, and talking head in various forms. I also have lots of experience coaching others to speak in public and for media interviews. I have coached everyone from television personalities and writers to everyday people who happen to have extraordinary stories that brought them into the public spotlight.
I developed an intensive spokesperson training program for LGBTQ rights advocates for GLAAD alongside the late, great public speaking coaching wizard, Joel Silberman. My techniques help speakers maintain focus, stay grounded, and connect to audiences, and I incorporate elements from theater training, breathing technique, meditation and yoga.
