I am seeking a public speaking coach to help me build confidence and improve my skills for both in-person and virtual presentations. Public speaking is a regular part of my role, and I often facilitate trainings, lead meetings, and present to both internal and external audiences. I have two upcoming speaking engagements I'd like to prepare for:

• A training I'll be facilitating at a team meeting in August
• A leadership meeting where I'll be leading a training session

• We currently have outlines of upcoming trainings, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a clear understanding of my speaking challenges and goals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.

This project will save us $8,660
, allowing us to invest more resources into staff development, improve training materials, and enhance the support we provide to the community through our IMPACT 211 program.

Public speaking is a key part of my role. I am responsible for training new staff, leading meetings, and representing our program. Strengthening my public speaking skills will allow me to communicate more clearly, confidently, and effectively—ultimately improving how I train, support, and lead our team. By becoming a more effective speaker, I can help foster stronger engagement, build trust, and ensure our mission and goals are communicated with clarity and impact.
