I prepare people for high-stakes speaking opportunities by turning anxiety into a superpower.
Discover how I can help you maximize the limited time you may have to engage your audience during a TED talk, Shark Tank appearance, investor pitch, customer meeting, keynote speech, board meeting, or even a job interview. I will guide you in connecting with your audience emotionally and making the most of each precious minute as the clock ticks away.
WHO AM I?
Since 2008, I’ve had the privilege of coaching companies such as Bill.com, SLIDO, Kahoot, and GetAround, helping them refine their ability to communicate their vision and present with clarity, emotion, and impact. I've also worked with global leaders such as DELL, IBM, Kaiser Permanente, DXC Technology, and Blue Prism, empowering their teams to craft messages that resonate, influence, and drive results in high-stakes environments. My passion for effective communication extends to the classroom, where I teach future business leaders at Gies College of Business, Santa Clara University, and Wharton Entrepreneurship how to harness the power of compelling presentations. As an Industry Fellow at Hong Kong Baptist University and UC Berkeley, I inspire the next generation leaders to use communication as a powerful tool for achieving success.
“The Alumni TINCer’s were absolutely right. The time spent with you, has been invaluable! I (and the rest of our team) highly appreciated your pitch training, concrete guidance, and honest feedback. We had three pitches after the program as well, and one of them led to capital raised! After your training, we are better equipped and trained to communicate our value proposition, opportunities, and values. Thanks a lot again for your contribution and support! ”
