Speak Clearly.
Be understood.
Improve your verbal communication.
I'm Jennifer
My goal is for you to be easily understood and to feel confident when you are communicating!
As a board certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, I will work extremely hard to help you accomplish your goal of presenting yourself with effective, confident communication skills.
Because communication has a multitude of channels, my coaching experience is broad and includes: presentation skills, speech writing, Standard American accent training, preparing for a TV interview, helping people with their 30-second self-elevator pitch, helping to organize an internal corporate communication plan, helping people who have a fear of speaking in a group setting, and coaching people who speak too quickly.
Our clients are brilliant people that are limited by communication challenges.
If you drastically improved your ability to present ideas to colleagues, in meetings, and to clients, what would that change in your levels of success and happiness?
Public Speaking
and Accent
COACHING
- Do you remain quiet in meetings because you are unhappy with your communication skills?
- Are you concerned about the way you say certain sounds?
- Are you asked to repeat yourself?
- Are you responsible for presenting to a group of individuals?
- Do you struggle gaining a group’s attention?
All individuals can benefit from public speaking coaching. Whether it is an annual sales meeting or a regular conference, learning how to deliver a concise, clear message will pay for itself over and over!
Corporate Communication
TRAINING
- Are your employee’s communication styles holding them back?
- Do you value investing in a company’s learning needs?
- Would making sure everyone is on the same page regarding the value of outstanding communication important to the success of your organization?
Business Communication
CONSULTING
- Are you losing sales or clients because of communication breakdowns?
- When is the last time you thought about how your employees communicate with each other and clients?
- Do you feel that communication mistakes are an obstacle to collaboration and team work?
As an organization hierarchy, people, and processes change, the company needs to change and increase communication or get left behind. If not, there are lots of prices
A change in communication culture benefits individuals and overall organizations.

📢 Important Announcement 📢
Dear friends and followers,
I hope this post finds you well. Today, I wanted to share an update about my life that will impact my availability and engagement for the next couple of weeks. I have been undergoing major changes in my personal life that require my full attention and energy.
These transitions are of utmost importance to me and I kindly request your understanding and patience during this time. Some of these life changes are extremely positive (graduation) and some are very challenging (losing a friend to cancer). And because my job is all about communication, I thought it important update you on my current situation.
Life is full of changes and challenges and I believe that this process will ultimately lead to personal growth and new opportunities. Thank you for being a part of my journey and I look forward to reconnecting with you all soon.
Best, Jen

I’m onsite at a convention - and with over 80 speakers presenting over the next 3 days, I’m going to be busy!
Why should you have a speech coach onsite the days leading into a big speaking event?
- To offer advice on speaking rate, projection, tone, emphasis
- To offer a fresh perspective
- To watch body language, facial expressions, gestures
- To ease nerves!!
The goal is for all speakers to present in their own style while projecting certainty and poise.
And I’m here to make sure that happens!

Oops, I did it again.
Mistakes are not fun.
But they happen.
I am lucky enough to have a support group that feels comfortable and confident with me to TELL ME when I need to make a change. And I have to be OPEN to other people’s perspective.
How hypocritical of me to be a speech coach and train people how to add, change, and delete speaking and listening habits if I didn’t respect when people give me lessons!!
Have you ever had someone tell you that you messed up at work? Comment below ⬇️

There are many areas in which I am extremely grateful when I look back at 2022.
But nothing compares to the number of outstanding PEOPLE I met and worked with this past year!
This is Tiffany Slavik! It`s actually hard to believe we met 12 months ago, because it seems like we`ve worked together for YEARS. She understands exactly what I offer and the value that it brings to clients! Without an advocate like Tiffany, my 2022 would not be as successful as it was.
And Tiffany is just one of many who I received advice & support from and who has my back. Thank you Tripper Ortman, Larry Nonn, Shawn Scanlon, Jack Zwissig, Bobby Ochse, FMP,Scott Wine, Laura Overall, Marcia Zizek, Richard Trietley, Sonia Sethi-Kohli, Katie Schwartz, CCC-SLP, Diandra Apoyan, CCC-SLP, Laura Lachance, Jose Aguilar, MS HRM, SPHR, Denise Ortega Hernandez, MS HRD, Adrienne Wallace, MBA, M.S., CCC-SLP, Mary Diligent, Joelle Kupras, Kelly Bayani, Garrett Damron, David Shoup, Troy French, Angela King, Rebecca Jorgenson, Erin Haubner, Leslie Morris, David Morris, Don Garman, Parag Garg, Dean Hallett, Dan Peeples, Daniel Walls, Vince Han, Colum Lundt.
We all need champions on our side! And you were mine.
And if you or anyone you know needs Speech Coaching for an event or just to level up your communication & listening skills, give me a shout!
Happy New Year to all!

This new year is going to be a good one!
🌟Continue making positive changes in your life.
Here are some common New Year`s resolutions:
1) Exercise more
2) Lose weight
3) Get organized
4) Learn a new skill or hobby
5) Live life to the fullest (This one is my favorite)
I think number 4 - to learn a new skill or hobby - is also excellent! And if your goal is to learn the skill of improved communication, then that`s where I can help!
✨You`d be amazed all of the areas that communication covers. I get calls to assist people with their rate of speech, clarity of speech, listening skills, being more concise, vocal quality, fear of speaking. . .and so on!
And the reward I get = when clients tell me the major, positive impact that communication coaching has made in their life!
Bring it on 2023! I have a good feeling 💫

❤️🎄 For me, Christmas is a moment in time where I look back at the year as a whole with gratitude. Some years, feelings of appreciation and joy flow easily. Other years - not so much and I have to dig deeper (i.e., 2020- the dreaded year of Covid-19 ).
This year, my list of thanks is lengthy and takes no time at all to create.
Thank you to all who supported my business. Even the simplest “like” of a post or comment was encouraging. ❤️
Whichever holiday you celebrate this season, my hope is that it is filled with kindness, love, and many moments to add to your book of memories!
