Communication Specialist

Become a confident public or debate speaker.

Every job posting, investor portfolio, and business workshop out there calls for outstanding written and verbal communication skills. But what exactly are they? And how do you “get good” at communication?

How to speak to people and be heard? How to make complex ideas easy to understand for everyone listening? How to stand out in a crowd? How to prepare and deliver the winning investor pitch? Often, we are led to believe good communication skills are a quality we are born with; some people just have "it" and some don't. So we struggle…. with our clammy hands, shaky knees, prepared notes we read nervously rather than breeze through them like we wished, and planned. 

Whether on a remote video call, in a conference room, at a press conference, or during an investor meeting; you want your words to make an impact, stay with your listeners, leave a lasting impression.  

Hello and welcome to my website!

I am here to help!

 

Just like playing a sport, mastering a musical instrument, or speaking a foreign language communication proficiency is attainable with training and practice. With my help, you can become a better speaker, a more effective writer, more powerful communicator. 

I have over 11 years of experience teaching communication courses at a college level and consulting with individual clients in the US and in Europe. 

I have worked with Silicon Valley tech employees, helping them land their dream job, and get investors' money. I helped on election campaigns for local school board, city and country commission, getting regular people comfortable with the art of public speaking. I have experience in coaching business owners, academics, politicians, and government employees in presentation skills, managing public speaking anxiety, getting ready for a job talk, research presentation, or a teaching demo. 

I can help you communicate more effectively, reach your target audience, strengthen your persuasive message. Let’s talk and see how much further we can get if we travel together!

 
Barbara helped me identify some unfavorable verbal and non-verbal habits I was recurring to when
public speaking. I was inadvertently downplaying my successes! Barbara’s coaching helped me
present myself and my accomplishments not only more effectively but also with greater confidence and
resolve. I landed a fantastic job! I highly recommend her consulting services.
