Meet Your Coach.
My name is Colin. I’m a 10+ year humorous financial speaker and author, and I’ve given over 1,000 speeches in my career, and spent years now teaching what I’ve learned to others. I believe that public speaking nerves and dry information are easily solvable problems, and that you’re only a few hours of coaching away from being a significantly better public speaker.
I can show you how you can be authentically funny, tell memorable stories, and engage even the most intimidating audience, and so that public speaking becomes something you love to do, not something you have to do.
Leaders are often public speakers, whether we like it or not. You can easily be a better public speaker with the right support, but that can be hard to find:
-Your team will usually just tell you what they think you want to hear.
–Your self-assessment will usually make it harder for you to improve, because the drive, perfectionism, and insecurities that got you here in your career will work against you.
-General internet articles will give you 1000 techniques to use, but won’t help you identify your unique voice, or motivate your specific audience, or stop re-living a past bad public speaking experience. (You’re not alone on this one!)
The Public Speaking for Leaders podcast explores public speaking mindsets & techniques to help you take your speaking/presenting to the never level!
This limited series gives you actionable steps and inspiring stories on creating: confidence, income/impact, and unforgettable presentations.
Here is what a few of my clients have to say:
I can’t say enough good things about Colin’s coaching. Colin helped me add so much to my presenting. I wasn’t connecting and wasn’t telling a story the way I wanted. Not only did he help me create that (very quickly!) he also helped me come up with a mantra I will use from now on. When the day of my workshop arrived, I was confident and poised!”
Colin truly hears and sees the people he works with. He helps you to show up powerfully on stage and open doors for more speaking opportunities. Colin reminds me that people need to hear my unique voice, and helps me remove the barriers in my way. I always leave our conversations feeling more confident in my abilities and more empowered to share my message.
Colin’s approach to coaching, like his own speaking, is powerful because of its emphasis on authenticity. He promotes no formula. He has no “shtick.” He focuses instead on discerning, drawing out, and fully developing a client’s voice and message so that it can be heard. It is what makes Colin a terrific resource for seasoned speakers and for those terrified of an audience.
I got further on my speech in one conversation with Colin than I’ve gotten in the last 6 months. Colin’s feedback has been invaluable. He helped me sit in the audience and understand what I would want to learn from me.
I speak a lot for events within my industry, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and accepted a speaking gig for a female entrepreneur group. They asked me to come in and speak as an expert on social media storytelling. I was so nervous–but I’m proud to say I knocked it out of the park and got incredible feedback! It was mainly thanks to Colin’s tips, especially the tip to describe “a scene rather than a movie.” It translated SO well–I built my entire talk around that concept! I wouldn’t have had these tools, or felt as equipped as I did, without Colin’s guidance! And bonus win–they’ve already talked about bringing me back on for future topics!
If you had told me 7 years ago that speaking and presenting would be a regular part of my business, I would have said you’re crazy. Except that I’m married to Colin. He took me from panic attacks to confidence in a few months time. I never thought I’d get over the butterflies, or know how to shape my message in an impactful way, but here I am getting hired to speak! When he says he can help, he really means it.
