Public Speaking Coaching
Public Speaking
Coaching
For leaders ready to close the gap between their expertise and their influence.
You’ve built your credibility through results. You know your subject deeply, you’ve earned your seat, and you have a valuable perspective to offer. But when it matters most in the meeting with senior leadership, the presentation to stakeholders, the moment when speaking up could change the outcome, something gets in the way.
Maybe you hold back when you should speak up. Maybe you over-explain when you should be concise. Maybe you’ve been told you need ‘more executive presence’ but aren’t sure what that actually looks like for you. Or maybe you watch colleagues with less expertise command more attention simply because they’ve learned to own the room.
Public speaking isn’t just about big stage moments. It’s about how you show up as a leader every day – in meetings, updates, and conversations where your voice shapes decisions and your presence signals credibility.
The Public Speaking Playbook is a three-month coaching program for leaders navigating the shift from technical expertise to strategic influence. You’ll learn to speak up with intention, communicate with clarity under pressure, and show up as the leader your results say you already are.
The Program
Each session combines strategy, practice, and personalized feedback using your real work, not generic exercises. You’ll prepare for actual presentations, practice navigating real stakeholder dynamics, and build skills that directly impact how you show up in your role.
By the end of the program, you won’t just feel more confident, you’ll have a repeatable process for preparing intentionally, communicating strategically, and showing up with presence in any room. The shift from ‘letting the work speak for itself’ to owning your voice as a leader starts here.
Month #1
Set the foundation
Clarity
We start by getting clear on how you currently show up and where the gap is between your expertise and how others experience your communication. Through a recorded baseline session and targeted assessment, we’ll identify your strengths, surface the patterns that hold you back, and develop a strategic messaging approach tailored to your role and audience. You’ll leave Month 1 knowing exactly what to work on and why it matters for your influence.
Month #2
Skill development
Presence
Month 2 focuses on the shift from technical communication to leadership presence. You’ll refine the delivery habits that shape how people experience your posture, pacing, vocal authority, and eye contact through targeted practice with real-time feedback. But presence isn’t just mechanics. We’ll also work on showing up with confidence in high-stakes moments: managing nerves, holding the room, and projecting calm authority even when the pressure is on.
Month #3
Advanced skills
Influence
In Month 3, we move from delivery to impact. You’ll learn to craft messages that move people to action using story, data, and strategic structure to land your ideas with decision-makers. We’ll work on reading the room, handling tough Q&A, and advocating for your work without feeling like you’re self-promoting. The program culminates in a final recorded session so you can see the transformation and a clear roadmap for continuing to grow after our work together ends
Before working with Coach Summer, I would overthink every part of my talk – second-guessing my topic, overanalyzing my words, and constantly thinking ahead instead of being in the moment. Through her public speaking coaching program, I learned how to structure my message using a clear keynote outline, which helped me quiet the noise in my head. Practicing my talk in real time and receiving focused feedback from Summer was a game changer. I now feel much more confident in how I deliver my content, and most importantly, I’m able to stay present and connect deeply with my audience.
Who This Is For
This program is designed for leaders who:
- ➜ Are navigating the shift from execution to influence, from doing the work to leading through others
- ➜ Have been told they need “more visibility” or “executive presence” but aren’t sure what that looks like
- ➜ Are excellent at their craft but find themselves staying quiet in rooms where their perspective matters

Overview
A personalized, three-month coaching program for leaders navigating the shift from execution to influence. Together, we’ll clarify your message, strengthen your presence, and build the communication skills that shape how others experience your leadership in meetings, presentations, and the everyday moments where credibility is built or lost.
Each session combines strategy and practice using your real work, with recorded sessions and targeted feedback in your private coaching portal. You’ll also get access to the Everyday Presentation Planner™ to prepare intentionally for any speaking moment. Practical, supportive, and designed for transformation that lasts.
Engaging Storytelling
Senior leaders understand how to share information that moves people to action. Storytelling is how you translate complex data, strategies, and technical concepts into messages that land. You’ll learn to craft narratives that create emotional resonance, build trust, and make your ideas memorable long after you’ve left the room.
Confident Delivery
Confidence comes from practice. You’ll work with your real presentations in a safe, supportive environment where you can experiment, get feedback, and build the muscle memory to show up with presence when the stakes are high.
Delivery Skills
How you say it shapes how people receive it. You’ll refine the habits that signal leadership posture, pacing, vocal authority, and body language so every part of your presence reinforces your credibility and your message.
Content Development & Organization
You’ll develop a strategic approach to message architecture, not just for one talk, but a repeatable framework you can adapt to any audience. We’ll structure your content to open with impact, flow with intention, and close with a clear call to action.
Persuasive Speaking
Whether you’re pitching to leadership, asking for resources, or aligning stakeholders behind a strategy, you’ll learn to communicate with influence. We’ll focus on building credibility, creating resonance, and advocating for your ideas in a way that feels authentic rather than self-promotional.
Audience Engagement
Even the best-prepared leaders need to adapt in the moment. You’ll learn to read the room, adjust on the fly, and handle the unexpected – tough questions, shifting dynamics, or moments when the plan falls apart with composure and control.
