Speaker Coaching
If you want to share your ideas more clearly and confidently on stage, Linda offers coaching to help you develop your talks and grow your speaking opportunities.
As an international keynote speaker and TEDx speaker, Linda brings real stage experience to every coaching relationship — helping you develop your talk, strengthen your delivery, and grow your speaking opportunities.
Speaker coaching is available at different levels depending on where you are in your speaking journey — from a free monthly gathering to private 1:1 coaching.
Who This Coaching Is For
1:1 Speaker Coaching is for leaders, entrepreneurs, and subject-matter experts who want focused support developing and delivering their talks.
Whether you are building a keynote from scratch, refining an existing talk, or preparing for an important stage, coaching gives you the clarity, structure, and confidence to show up and deliver with impact.
Speakers come to coaching to:
Develop a keynote or signature talk.
Design a workshop or training program.
Refine storytelling and message clarity.
Strengthen delivery and stage presence.
Prepare for an important stage or presentation.
Grow speaking opportunities and positioning.
What you can expect to achieve:
A polished, well-structured talk ready for the stage.
Greater confidence and clarity as a speaker.
Stronger storytelling and message impact.
High-value speaking opportunities.
A clear direction for your speaking business or career.
Consistent action toward your speaking goals.
How Speaker Coaching Works
Every coaching journey begins with your talk.
Linda works with you to identify where you are, what you want to say, and the priorities that will have the greatest impact on your audience. Each session is focused on helping you think clearly about your message, make confident decisions about your content, and leave with a clear plan for what to work on next.
Throughout the coaching, sessions may include:
Clarifying your core message and talk structure.
Developing and refining your stories and key points.
Working through delivery, pacing, and stage presence.
Strengthening your opening and closing for maximum impact.
Building accountability and momentum toward your speaking goals.
Celebrating progress and adjusting the plan as your talk evolves.
Why Speaker Coaching?
Dedicated time to develop your talk is one of the most valuable investments you can make as a speaker.
Whether you are stepping onto a stage for the first time, building a keynote business, or preparing for your most important talk yet, coaching gives you the structure, accountability, and expert guidance to show up fully prepared and deliver with confidence.
Moving Forward
The first step is a complimentary consultation call with Linda.
The conversation covers your goals, where you are today, and where you want to go — and whether 1:1 Speaker Coaching is the right fit for you. There is no pressure, just an honest conversation about what is possible.
Investment
Virtual: $2,997
In Person: $3,497
Sessions are flexible and designed to fit your schedule. The default format is 12 weekly sessions, with the option to adapt the structure — including 6 two-hour sessions — depending on what works best for you.
A Bonus Worth Noting
Every 1:1 Speaker Coaching client receives complimentary access to Speakers Business Group for the duration of their coaching.
Speakers Business Group is an online community for speakers who are building their speaking business. The group meets every Tuesday from 12–1pm CT — a consistent, focused hour dedicated to the business side of speaking.
It is a natural complement to private coaching. While your 1:1 sessions focus on developing your talk, Speakers Business Group gives you a room of peers who understand the work and can support your growth beyond the coaching relationship.
Each week covers topics like:
Pitching your talk and landing speaking opportunities.
Pricing your speaking and knowing your worth.
Writing proposals that get a yes.
Strategy for building a sustainable speaking business.
The mindset of promoting speaking as an income stream.
Thought leadership and using speaking as a marketing platform.

“Having the opportunity to workshop ideas, and actually go through the speech writing process, helped me gain the confidence to move, motivate and inspire others - more than I ever thought possible."
I had no idea what to expect when it came to working with a public speaking and speech writing coach; which is a bit ironic considering it's something I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity to do quite regularly.
From the moment we hopped on a call together, the insight Linda was able to share was really eye opening. It allowed me to take a few steps back to unravel the inner workings and details of a very complex story, and understand how to deliver the key messages in a succinct and memorable way. I was able to hone in on the most impactful version of my story in the way I had hoped.
Having the opportunity to workshop ideas, and actually go through the speech writing process, helped me gain the confidence to move, motivate and inspire others - more than I ever thought possible.
I will tap into Linda’s services again in the future for public speaking opportunities; especially when the topic is something I’m personally and deeply connected to.
Linda was an invaluable pillar and resource for me, and I’m appreciative of everything she offered. To be able to work with her is something I’d highly recommend time and time again.”

So thankful for the support and friendship.

“I wouldn't have delivered a talk that I felt proud about if it wasn't for Linda's guidance and coaching!"
Working with Linda helped me to have clarity on the important points of my talk for CreativeMornings Winnipeg.
I have so much to say about my topic, and I could have easily used up my allotted time and not arrived at the important details I wanted to mention.
I felt confident after my initial meeting with Linda, and hashing out all the ideas I had in my head.
She is a good listener and was able to reflect on what she was hearing from me and provided solid advice on my next steps in writing, editing and polishing up my talk.
I wouldn't have delivered a talk that I felt proud about if it wasn't for Linda's guidance and coaching!

Linda's talent for writing is truly remarkable.
When I embarked on launching my podcast and needed assistance, she was the obvious choice.
I hired her again for her expertise in perfecting my signature talk, and Linda transformed my initial draft into a captivating narrative, enhancing its storytelling and flow beyond my expectations.
Now, as I prepare to step onto the stage, I'm filled with excitement and confidence, all thanks to Linda's invaluable contributions.
I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate their content and delivery.
