  • Spoken with Authority provides presentation skills and leadership communication training and coaching to new professionals, subject-matter experts, emerging leaders, leaders, and executives at law firms, professional services firms, associations, nonprofits, corporations, and government. We elevate the presence and expand the influence of professionals who are novice, intermediate, and advanced while promoting inclusion in their organizations.

    Our clients are focused on improving outcomes in a wide range of interpersonal, small-group, and large-group communication situations that take place online, in-person, or as hybrid events. They include: presentations, briefings, reports, lectures, conferences, pitches, TED-style talks, ceremonial speeches, toasts, meetings, phone calls, panels, networking events, job interviews, performance reviews, casual conversations, and difficult conversations.

    We have a track record of success supporting a diverse range of speakers, including those who have a deep-seated fear of public speaking, are non-native English speakers, or are neurodiverse (ADHD, Autism spectrum disorder, etc.).

    We do not specialize in helping professionals overcome shyness, improve written communication skills, script word-for-word speeches, or understand the nuances of communicating with listeners outside Western business culture. We can, however, connect you with highly regarded specialists in these fields.

  • First, learn about our qualifications and values.
