What does
leadership
sound like?
Great communicators sell, inspire, lead, build rapport, and get results.
Communication is about so much more than just words. Your tone of voice, body language, storytelling, and ability to connect with your desired audience all must be working together.
Communication also brings together the best and the messiest parts of our humanity: reading our audience, dealing with nerves, navigating difficult conversations, advocating for ourselves and our teams, bringing our ideas to life. These are complex processes . . . and you can't "hack" them.
"That was a great workshop, exactly the content and hands-on work we needed!
I was getting feedback from staff throughout, mostly boiled down to “They are amazing!” But I suspect you gleaned that from the smiles, nods, and continued engagement throughout. I’m feeling confident about my role next week, and even though I could fake that before, the stress was always underneath and I was just hoping for the minutes to pass quickly — no more!"
— Sue Merrilees
Great communication is an art, and a “paint-by-numbers” approach isn’t gonna cut it. Our work is different.
We bring the toolbox of the professional actor, the skills of the voice coach, and our own extensive experience and research into human communication culture to develop our clients’ full physical, mental, and emotional instruments. This allows them to enter any circumstance with authentic confidence, ready to respond to what’s happening with grace and ease.
Principles for all situations, not “tips and tricks” to memorize.
Inside out transformation, not “fake it ‘til you make it.”
Dynamic communication with impact, not rigid “perfection”.
We love bringing our expertise to leaders who care about investing in these skills for their teams! Whether you want an afternoon up-skill session for your sales team, a public speaking-focused off-site for the C-suite, or a multi-day residency with the whole company, we’ve got you covered. Below is a selection of our signature offerings, but we love to create customized programs that fit your exact needs. Let’s chat!
"Thanks to Julie and Casey's presentation coaching, our team walked into an important talk confident and prepared, and we won the room over!
They taught us some great ways to understand our voice and our breath, improve our presence, and worked closely with us on our delivery. They knew their stuff, were fun to work with, and kept an easily distracted group fully engaged. We'd love to work with them again!"
