1:1 COACHING CONSULTATION CALL
You Know Something Needs to Change. Let’s Figure Out What Kind of Support Will Actually Help.
-
Maybe it’s your public speaking.
-
Maybe it’s the way you communicate under pressure
-
Maybe you’re stuck in your career.
Maybe ADHD traits like racing thoughts, overwhelm, or freezing are getting in the way.
Bring me what’s getting in the way. We’ll start there.
Let's Talk Through What's Getting in Your Way
You freeze or ramble under pressure
And you're not sure if it's nerves, ADHD, or just never having a structure to lean on.
Interviews feel like the scariest part of the process
You know your experience. You don't always sound like it, live, under pressure.
You've tried everything else already
Improv, YouTube tips, AI feedback. None of it stuck the way you needed it to.
You get talked over, even when you're the expert
Your best thinking gets associated with the person who says it louder, faster, or more confidently.
You don't know what you actually want next
You can list job titles. Naming your own values and direction is harder.
You're not sure coaching is worth the investment
Or whether it'll actually work for someone like you, in the time you actually have.
Inside Your Consultation Call
1. We start with what’s happening now
Tell me what made you book the call.
We’ll talk about the situations that feel the hardest right now, what you’ve already tried, and what you want to be different.
2. We get clearer on what you actually need
Sometimes the problem someone comes in naming isn’t the whole problem.
-
“Public speaking” might really be organizing racing thoughts.
-
“Career clarity” might be decision paralysis.
-
“Confidence” might be needing a repeatable structure and enough practice to trust yourself using it.
3. If there’s a fit, I'll walk you through the next step
If one of my coaching programs makes sense for what you need, I’ll explain what I recommend and what working together would look like.
If we need another conversation before making that decision, I may invite you to a follow-up call.
About Your Communication Coach
I Built My Work Around the Question “Okay, But How?”
I’m Sammie Walker Herrera, a public speaking and communication coach who helps executives, founders, leaders, and fast-thinking professionals turn vague advice into practical skills they can actually use.
My work combines public speaking, executive communication, career development, and ADHD-informed coaching.
I know what it feels like to be expected to improve without being given a roadmap.
That’s exactly why I don’t want you leaving our conversation with another vague instruction like:
“Just be more confident.”
I want you to be clearer on what’s happening and what the next useful step could be.
“I went from being nervous to post a video of myself talking to now hosting my own workshops and speaking in public with much more confidence.”
"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

Before You Book, Here’s What You Might Be Wondering
“What if I don’t know which service I need?
That’s okay.
You don’t need to arrive with the right coaching package selected. Tell me what’s happening, what you’ve tried, and what you want to be different. We’ll talk through which kind of support makes the most sense
“What if I’ve already tried books, videos, classes, therapy, or coaching?"
Tell me what helped and what didn’t.
More information isn’t always the missing piece. Sometimes you need practice, feedback, accountability, or support built around your actual situation, rather than another generalized or AI-generated approach.
“What if I’m worried I won’t improve fast enough?"
We’ll talk about what you want to change and whether the coaching timeline makes sense for that goal.
I don’t guarantee a specific outcome. What I can offer is a structured process, direct feedback, practice, and support designed around the skills you’re working on.
“What happens if we’re a good fit?"
I’ll explain the coaching option I recommend and what happens next.
Depending on the service, onboarding can include questionnaires, a character-strengths survey, relevant career materials, a baseline speaking video, and a coaching agreement before we begin.
You won’t need to guess what comes next.
How much does coaching cost?
Pricing depends on the service, length of support, and what you need help with.
We’ll start with a consultation call so I can understand your goals and recommend the best-fit coaching option. If it makes sense to work together, I’ll walk you through the investment before you decide.
