How My Public Speaking Training Works
This is where the work happens. You'll learn how to think on your feet, structure an answer before your brain finishes the sentence, and stay steady whether it's a 10-person meeting or a board presentation.
You'll learn how to:
-
Speak on the spot without losing your train of thought
-
Turn a scattered idea into a clear answer, every time
-
Manage racing thoughts and nerves in group settings
-
Replace "I don't know what I'm going to say" with a repeatable skill

“I could see a big improvement in my awareness of my speech patterns.”
"For a long time, I was scared to speak up because of my accent. I had been told before that I needed to fix my accent to sound more professional, so I avoided doing videos, speaking up more, and putting myself out there.
Then someone on LinkedIn invited me to come to her virtual workshop... and OMG ... life-changing

Meet Your Public Speaking Coach
Founder, Public Speaking & Confidence Coach
I’m Sammie Walker Herrera, an executive public speaking coach and ADHD-specialized coach. I know what it feels like to be told to “communicate better” without anyone actually showing you how.
Public speaking training was actually one of the first things that helped me understand how to work with my ADHD brain. It taught me how to slow down racing thoughts, filter the millions of ideas buzzing around in my head, choose what mattered, and communicate it with more clarity and confidence.
Now I help executives, founders, and high-achieving professionals do the same, without asking them to become someone they’re not. My work brings together public speaking, executive communication, neurodiversity, and leadership development so you can communicate with more clarity and authentic confidence.
