Public speaking made easy
I start from the premise that everyone can be an effective public speaker.
My services can help you achieve your speaking goals.

I offer four types of services.
Pick what works for you.
Asynchronous
Explore my public speaking, communication, small group, argumentation, and debate lessons at your own pace. Lessons incorporate video-based lectures, as well as guided reflections and/or activities. Provided through a Learning Management System, you may take a single module (covering a single topic) or enroll in an entire course at your own pace.
$25-$50 per module*
Individual Instruction
Meet face-to-face or over video conferencing software. Each 1+ hour session is based on your goals and needs and will likely include individual work with follow up as agreed upon by us. We will discuss your goals and needs in our first session. If we determine that we are not a fit, the first session’s fee is refundable. (For face-to-face, I am currently based out of Phoenix.)
$150/session*
Group Classes
Occasionally, I will hold face-to-face or online courses. These courses are similar to an in-person seminar or college course. They are designed for individuals who would like to meet in small group settings for lectures, small group activities and interaction, and activities. A typical session lasts 1.5-2 hours.
$75/session*
Workshops & Speaking Engagements
Does your business, organization, club, conference, class, or team need a speaker, trainer, or facilitator? Contact me to see if I am the right fit for short presentations (1-2 hours) or seminars (half-day to two-day workshops).

*Discounts for educators, clergy, students, and need-based individuals. Contact me for inquiries.
Please note that I do not work with competitive speech & debate competitors, unless arranged directly by the team’s coach. Even then, I would prefer to work with the entire team (or a group of students in a particular event) rather than select individuals. I never want to undermine the Student-Coach relationship or the team dynamic.
“Your feedback on speeches was very helpful and specific, I knew exactly what I needed to improve on as well as what I should keep doing.”
