Executive Speech Coaching
Build Your Executive Presence, Share Your Message, and Build High-Impact Public Speaking and Presentation Skills
Do you need to deliver your next presentation with confidence, clarity and power? Fast-track your public speaking skills? Build a new signature speech or keynote presentation? Enhance how you communicate with your clients or team? Then you’re in the right place.
You know that getting your point across in a concise, compelling and confident way is critical if you want to share your expertise, build your reputation as a trusted leader, and make sure that you’re remembered – for all the right reasons.
At the same time, by better understanding the communication needs of diverse audiences and individuals, you can elevate your presentations in a way that allows you to share your ideas more effectively, and create more positive, productive, and profitable relationships.
If you’re ready to take your speaking skills to the next level, and then grow them even higher than that – then Individual Coaching is for you.
Which one of these categories of speakers do YOU fit into?
Just as no two people are alike, so are two presenters are alike. Which category are YOU in?
- You’re NEW to presenting, and wish to work on building your confidence, delivery, and getting clear on your message.
- You’re an EXPERIENCED presenter who speaks regularly, but you’re getting mediocre results from the presentations and speeches they’re already giving (meaning: no follow-up meetings or sales, no team buy-in, and projects don’t move forward as you want them to!)
- You’re a SEASONED presenter, and you know that you’re good…but you also know that you can be even better, and you’re not sure how to get to that next level. Your priority is to polish your message and delivery, and to create a deeper connection and level of engagement with your audience, and inspire them to action!
You may identify with ONE of the above, but all three types of speakers have these goals in common:
- To be an effective, persuasive and engaging speaker
- To make an unforgettable first – and lasting – impression
- To NAIL your presentations – each and every time you speak

The Process
In working together, our objective is to create more focused and powerful presentations and to deliver them with confidence and professionalism every single time.
This is a collaborative partnership with the goal of helping you to communicate in a way that helps you connect with your audience, create a meaningful message, and stand out as a leader.
We work with a strategic process that makes crafting your presentations easier and faster than ever before — resulting in less overwhelm, more audience connection, and a whole lot of YOU standing out as a trusted leader.
Our coaching sessions will address the following three essential areas of speaking:
- Content: How to develop and organize presentation content for maximum impact, and for diverse audiences. This includes strategies to start and end the presentation with impact, storytelling must-have’s, getting to your essential message clearly, adapting the language of your presentation to appeal to the communication needs of diverse audiences, mastering your visual aids, and much more.
- Delivery: The development of your personal speaking style, building rapport with the audience, and presenting with confidence. We will also address how to project expertise, authenticity and leadership in every presentation you give, using the communications skills, style and strength that you already possess.
- Audience Engagement: How to structure your presentation in a way that ensures that your message is relevant and meaningful to your audience, and to enhance audience engagement and connection.

What Clients are Saying…
“Her well-thought out approach resulted in a presentation that was focused, action-oriented and even entertaining! We found ways to weave in stories and analogies that really drove the point home and made it “real” for the audience, and more than that, built a strong level of connection that lasted the entire week of the sales conference. The positive feedback that I received from both my colleagues and management team in the weeks following the conference was absolutely brilliant!”
Allison Rossiter
Executive Director of Sales, Roche Diagnostics
“I asked Suzannah to review my video as part of preparations for presenting part of a Tony Robbins “Business Mastery” seminar in London. The result: the most enthusiastic and sustained standing ovation of my 33 year speaking career. I recommend Suzannah for anyone who wants to fine-tune their presentation skills, and would JUMP at an opportunity to work with her again.”

“I had 3 packed rooms. After the talks the people came to my booth in droves and bought my book. I sold more books in that one day than I had in the previous year! Some of the feedback that I received from the participants was that I made learning fun, I was very inspiring, and they were going to start making some changes to their eating habits right away. Everyone really liked my stories, which you and I worked so hard on to ensure that they had humor and the right amount of detail. All in all, a complete success!”
