I got further on my speech in one conversation with Colin than I’ve gotten in the last 6 months. Colin’s feedback has been invaluable. He helped me sit in the audience and understand what I would want to learn from me.

Team Culture Expert, Greg Kettner Speaks

Colin truly hears and sees the people he works with. He helps you to show up powerfully on stage and open doors for more speaking opportunities. Colin reminds me that people need to hear my unique voice, and helps me remove the barriers in my way. I always leave our conversations feeling more confident in my abilities and more empowered to share my message.

Colin’s approach to coaching, like his own speaking, is powerful because of its emphasis on authenticity. He promotes no formula. He has no “shtick.” He focuses instead on discerning, drawing out, and fully developing a client’s voice and message so that it can be heard. It is what makes Colin a terrific resource for seasoned speakers and for those terrified of an audience.

Executive Director, Change the Story & Vermont Works for Women

I speak a lot for events within my industry, but this past week I stepped out of my comfort zone and accepted a speaking gig for a female entrepreneur group. They asked me to come in and speak as an expert on social media storytelling. I was so nervous–but I’m proud to say I knocked it out of the park and got incredible feedback! It was honestly mainly thanks to Colin’s tip to describe “a scene rather than a movie.” It translated SO well–I built my entire talk around that concept! I wouldn’t have had those tools, or felt nearly as well equipped without Colin’s guidance! And bonus win–they’ve already talked about bringing me back on for future topics!

If you had told me 7 years that speaking and presenting would be a regular part of my business, I would have said you’re crazy. Except that I’m married to Colin. He took me from panic attacks to confidence in a few months time. I never thought I’d get over the butterflies, or know how to shape my message in an impactful way, but here I am getting hired to speak! When he says he can help, he really means it.
