1:1 Speaking Coaching
Telling stories that move people.
Let’s be honest, hiring a speaking coach can feel weird.
You’ve been talking your whole life, right? I get it.
But here’s the truth: People don’t work with me because they
“can’t speak.”
They work with me because they ramble, go blank, sound unsure, hate how they deliver, or lose people halfway through their message.
The good news? Communication is a skill. And skills can be trained, refined, and mastered.
“Working with Bert to prepare my keynote was truly transformative. His coaching and storycraft guidance helped me turn scattered ideas into a confident, powerful story."
–Pajdee
“I couldn’t even tell a story that made sense”
For speakers who want to feel clear, confident and compelling.
1. Freeze, ramble, overthink when all eyes are on you
2. Want to shape your story without sounding scripted
3. Have a talk, keynote, or important moment coming up
4. Want live, constructive feedback that actually helps
My approach
I don’t teach “perfect speeches.” I teach real communication, the kind that feels natural, grounded, and true to who you are.
Story
I help you turn your experiences, ideas, and identity into stories that feel honest and grounded, not rehearsed or performative. The focus is clarity, meaning, and telling your story in a way that actually sounds like you.
Voice
Your voice is a tool for intention, not just volume. We work on pacing, emphasis, pauses, and tone so you can speak with confidence and control without forcing energy or copying someone else’s style.
Presence
Presence isn’t about commanding the room, it’s about how you show up. I help you build presence that feels natural and steady through posture, movement, expression, and intentional stillness.
Sessions are available virtually or in person, making coaching accessible no matter where you’re located.
“Great coach when it comes to confidence and finding your voice. Insightful and inspirational.”
–Kao
One of my favorite quotes from Bruce Lee:
"I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
Some spend six weeks mastering storycraft. Some spend a month unlocking their voice.
Some focus only on presence or delivery.
You don’t need every tool to transform your communication. One skill, mastered deeply, changes everything.
