Leaders Are Speaking To People Who Are Already Overloaded, Distracted, And Moving Fast.

If the point takes too long to find, the story has no structure, or the presentation dumps information without meaning, even good ideas disappear. 

Your Audience Doesn’t Need More Slides.
They Need a Story People Can Follow.

THE STORYTELLING DEEP-DIVE

Executive Speech Coaching Built Around One Rule: Message First

The Storytelling Deep-Dive helps you learn what to keep, what to cut, and how to shape the message so people can follow the idea, remember why it matters, and know what to do with it.
 

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO: 

 

✓ Build a habit of building speeches using various storytelling structures

✓ Tell stories on the spot in and outside the office

✓ Use stories at work in specific settings

Everything Included in Your 1:1 Executive Speech Coaching Program

THE MOMENT WE START

✓ Baseline Presentation Review 

I watch how you present today: pacing, structure, where the message gets lost.
 

✓ Character Strengths Assessment 

We build from what's already working, not just what feels broken.
 

✓ Your Coaching Plan 

We build around your real meetings, pitches, and decks, not a generic curriculum.
 

✓ 1:1 Kickoff Call
A 45-minute call to map exactly what we're working toward. 

THEN, EVERY WEEK YOU GET

✓ Structured Practice
Point, reason, point, applied to your real material.
 

✓ Written Feedback on Every Practice
What to cut, what to keep, sometimes a quick Loom.
 

✓ A 1:1 Coaching Call 

We work on your hardest moment first: the Q&A, the pushback, the data slide that loses the room.
 

✓ Real Rehearsal
Your actual deck or update, pressure-tested before it's live. 

You'll never wonder what to work on next. Every week has a plan, and every practice gets a response.

I had a great experience working with Sammie. She is thoughtful, practical, and very supportive, and in just a few weeks helped me improve how I organize my thoughts, structure my speaking, and communicate with more confidence. I especially appreciated how personalized the coaching felt and how actionable her feedback was. I would definitely recommend working with her!

AI Feedback? A Public Speaking Coach? 

AI can only respond to what you type in. Executive communication coaching is built around the actual meeting you're walking into. 

Portrait-photography-of-a-focused-professional-practicing-a-presentation-in-a-minimalist-o

You can get public speaking tips from AI, books, videos, and coworkers.

​

Those resources can’t always tell you why your message isn’t landing, what to cut, what to keep, or what will make the biggest difference in the room you’re actually preparing for.

​

That’s where expert coaching comes in.

MEET YOUR EXECUTIVE SPEECH COACH

I Used to Think Energy Made Me a Great Speaker. Then I Learned Energy Isn’t the Message.

I could make people laugh, and I could bring energy into a room.

​

And for a while, I thought that meant I was communicating well.

​

Public speaking taught me something far more valuable: how to identify what matters, structure ideas, and make messages clear. It slowed my racing thoughts, filtered noise in my head, and brought intention to my expertise.

​

Now I help leaders and teams do the same.

My approach to executive speech coaching combines public speaking, executive communication, leadership development, and a strengths-based understanding of how different brains communicate. I’m not here to turn you into someone else. I’m here to help you make what you already know easier to follow, remember, and act on.

Who Public Speaking Training Is For

Executive Presentation Coaching FAQ 

How much time does this take each week?

Short, structured practices, not another class on your calendar. You send me your practices when they work for you, and I send back feedback before we meet. It's built around your schedule, not the other way around.

 

My presentations are technical and data-heavy. Does storytelling coaching actually work for that?

Yes. In fact, it matters more. Stanford research found people remembered just 5% of statistics they heard in a presentation, versus 63% when the same information was told as a story. Data doesn't need to disappear from your presentations. It needs a message wrapped around it so people remember it after you stop talking. 

 

How much does executive presentation coaching cost?

[Price here, once confirmed.] Many companies have a professional development budget. Worth asking yours before you decide.

 

Do you offer refunds or a guarantee?

I can't promise a specific outcome, since it depends on the practice you put in. [Her policy here.] That's also why we talk first, so we both know it's a fit before you commit.
