"I hired Casey to coach me for my TED talk and credit her as the #1 factor in the success of my talk with nearly 2 Million views on TED.com. She is flexible, wise and efficient. She helped with everything from polishing the language to building presence and confidence. You won't regret hiring her and you will be lucky if you can get her."

It takes a lifetime to master the art of public speaking, but my clients will see real improvement after just one session. I meet weekly with my clients until they've reached their immediate goal: whether that's a speech they need to nail, a pitch deck they need to perfect, or an important meeting they need to run.

Let’s Get You Ready to Present so What Do We Do Now?

1: Learn how to introduce yourself to a crowd.
2: Learn how to navigate typical public speaking pitfalls
3: Learn how to present your speech, pitch, or presentation like a pro.
4: Learn how to prepare for your next speech, pitch or presentation.
5: Learn mindfulness practices and rituals to counteract stage fright.

The best presenters are the best listeners: my pedagogy is geared toward helping you stay present as you present. I also will sharpen and edit your content. My teaching style is very interactive and gentle, but be prepared: no matter where you are in your process, I'll have you present your material to me as soon as we meet. Then, I'll give you some pointers and we'll work to integrate those pointers together in the session.

What to expect at your first meeting?
Our first meeting is a diagnostic session: come prepared to articulate your challenges and goals regarding public speaking. Please be sure that you sign into our sessions from a private space where you can move your body and express yourself fully. Please bring any content you're working on, and be prepared to present it, even if it feels very raw. We won't spend too much time talking about what you want to say. Instead, I want to hear you say it! Once I do, I'll have lots of ideas to share about how you can say it with more passion and clarity.

I got my start at the Moth, working on their Peabody Award-winning radio show as well as their programming, which won a MacArthur Award for creative and effective Institutions in 2012. The Moth showcases people around the world telling true stories live without notes, and I've been leading official Moth workshops all over the US for close to a decade now. As a private speech coach, I've shaped award-winning pitches, British Vogue interviews, speeches that got my clients elected to office, and TED talks that were selected for the TED website, resulting in 2 million views and a podcast deal. I graduated summa cum laude from Middlebury College and received a full scholarship to attend Union Theological Seminary, where I received my Masters in Divinity and learned to listen with the intensity of chaplain: a skill I bring to all of my clients.
