Improve Your Impact, Secure Your Success!

If your speech or presentation must be powerful so you can inspire action, increase sales, or instill confidence during struggle, I’m here to help.

As an electrical engineer, I used to be the typical “geek who doesn’t know how to speak”! Now, after having won multiple speaking contests, and after having helped hundreds of coaching clients become highly successful speakers, I’m amazed how easy it can be to transform a speech or a presentation from boring to breathtaking.

There’s no magic. It’s a simple process that can create magic results.

I’m grateful to my extraordinary teachers and mentors who taught me excellent presentation skills and storytelling techniques, based on which I created specialized training and coaching programs that I customize to fit your specific needs.

You’ll benefit from my multifaceted experience, as I’ve coached a variety of presenters, from professional members of the National Speakers Association NSA, to shy novice speakers from Toastmasters International.

Also, you’ll find my 20-year experience in managing and training international teams very useful, as I show you better ways to communicate and connect with any diverse audience you may have.

My corporate customers called me “Miss Make It Happen” because of the high quality results I helped them achieve in a short time.

By working with me, I’ll “make it happen” for you, to be the Star Speaker who delivers influential and memorable presentations.

To your greater success!
