Public speaking & presentation coaching

Your expertise deserves to be understood.

I coach business owners, leaders, and technical experts to turn complex ideas into clear presentations, pitches, and client conversations.

Bring a message you need to deliver. We’ll shape it and rehearse it so your audience understands why it matters and what to do next.

For example, we can turn a technical upgrade briefing into a clear recommendation your client can act on.

“I came in with something that was fine. I left with something the audience could truly feel.”

Work with David

Coaching for you. Workshops for your team.

Choose one-to-one coaching, a team workshop, trainer development, or a place to practice regularly.

For you

Individual communication coaching

Bring a presentation, sales pitch, networking introduction, interview, or leadership conversation. Work one-to-one with me to organize your message, strengthen your delivery, and rehearse with specific feedback.

See what a coaching session looks like

Bring a real message. We can start with rough notes, a draft deck, or a pitch you already give.

Try it aloud. For an upcoming presentation, we might sharpen your opening, simplify a slide, and rehearse your close.

Leave with a practice plan. You’ll know which changes to make and what to rehearse before you speak.

For your team

Team communication workshops

Help your people explain complex ideas, communicate recommendations, and make the value of their work clear. Workshops use relevant examples, participation, and practice around your team’s goals.

See a sample workshop

Help clients make a decision. In a sample workshop for a technical team, participants bring a real client recommendation and explain the business issue it addresses.

They practice presenting the recommendation in plain language, answering a likely client question, and asking for a clear next step. Each person uses feedback to refine their explanation before trying it again.

Recognize these moments?

You have something valuable to say. Make the point easier to follow.

“I explain the details. They miss the point.”

Identify the main idea, choose the details that support it, and connect your explanation to what your audience needs.

“I know my value. Finding the words is harder.”

Describe your work through familiar situations and useful examples so people can see why it matters to them.

“I want to feel ready when it’s my turn.”

Practice aloud, work through the difficult parts, and develop a delivery approach that fits your message and your voice.

How we work together

Prepare your message. Practice your delivery. Put feedback to work.

We work with communication you actually need, from a short introduction to a presentation or training session.

Clarify the outcome.

Who are you speaking to? What matters to them? What should they understand or do afterward? Those answers give your message direction.

Shape the message.

Organize your ideas, choose relevant examples, and develop an opening that earns attention and a close that points toward action.

Rehearse and refine.

Try your message aloud. Receive specific feedback on your words, voice, pace, presence, and audience engagement. Make adjustments and practice again.

Grounded in the Eight Principles of Engagement™. My approach draws on adult learning to help you make ideas relevant, invite participation, and give people opportunities to apply what they learn.

A few questions you may have

What would help you get started?

Can we work on one important presentation?

Yes. Bring your presentation, pitch, speech, or meeting agenda. We can focus on the message, structure, delivery, and response you want from your audience. We’ll discuss your deadline and the support that fits your needs.

What if I know my subject but get nervous speaking?

Coaching gives you a place to prepare, practice aloud, and receive constructive feedback. We can work on pacing, breathing, your opening, and other speaking behaviors that help you approach the situation with greater confidence.

Do you offer online and in-person coaching?

Online coaching is available, along with in-person support in the Atlanta area. We’ll discuss your location, schedule, and goals to determine a suitable format.

How are team workshops different from trainer development?

Team workshops focus on how your people communicate in presentations, meetings, and client conversations. Trainer development focuses on how trainers and facilitators design and deliver learning experiences. Both use your goals and relevant material to shape the work.

What happens during Virtual Coffee with David?

In this free 30-minute conversation, we’ll talk about what you want to improve, who you need to communicate with, and what success would look like. Then we can consider whether individual coaching, a team workshop, trainer development, or ongoing practice is a useful next step.

Engage From Any Stage

What do you want your next conversation to accomplish?

Bring the presentation, pitch, meeting, or training session that matters to you. Let’s talk about your goals and the support that would help you move forward.
