private public speaker coaching

At the helm of a scale-up, you really need to be able to be there at key moments like team meetings, townhalls, meetings with the board and pitches to investors. Appearing natural, serene and calm was a challenge for me. A lot of digression and not being sufficiently to the point as well. During the sessions with Elizabeth, I was able to practice very focused on my areas of improvement each time. Elizabeth could very quickly assess correctly what input I needed and when. Thus, I made rapid progress in my speaking. And that is very valuable for a busy CEO.

What made the coaching so valuable is that Elizabeth observes closely and shares honestly where attention is needed. So she can find the one thing that will bring your performance to the next level. The most valuable thing I learned is: a speaker is a leader. Speaking is a way to represent leadership. I have grown a lot in how I show up and how I present in webinars. I learned to stretch my speaking style in different styles to bring out clarity, build trust and inspire with energy. With the practices, I feel more confident to go with the flow and stay present.

I started working with Elizabeth to find my voice again. To make my business grow, and it has. Elizabeth ‘rolls with the punches’ during the coaching sessions, to use a boxing term. She changes her approach or switches gears when appropriate. I think that’s really strong and makes the coaching super valuable. I have personally grown a lot during the course and discovered that my perceived weaknesses can also be a strength. I have become much more confident and less stressed. I’ve already passed her name on to many other entrepreneurs because she really helps you in a customized fashion and that’s what an entrepreneur needs.
