Public speaking coaching for groups & individuals

Unlock the power of public speaking

Public speaking is more than standing behind a podium, it’s about influence. Whether you’re pitching to investors, speaking at a conference, or leading a team, your ability to communicate confidently can change the game.

Helping leaders find their strongest voice

If you've ever felt like:

  • Your nerves get the best of you before speaking

  • Your message isn’t landing the way you want

  • You’re not coming across as confident or polished

Whether you want to command the stage, speak up in meetings, or own the camera, we can coach you to success.

Together, we’ll create a customized coaching plan that works with your natural strengths and helps you:

  • Overcome nervousness and self-doubt

  • Develop a compelling presence—on stage, in meetings, or on camera

  • Speak clearly and persuasively in any situation

  • Connect with audiences and keep them engaged



Here’s the truth about great speakers

They don’t read their speech word for word. They prepare, practice, and deliver naturally. We’ll help you ditch the script, overcome nerves, and command the stage.

Coaching trusted by nonprofits, companies, and associations

Working with Jo Ellen at Werking Communication was a game-changer for me! Public speaking terrified me and I've wanted to face this fear but needed personalized attention and didn't know where to start. From our very first session, Jo Ellen made me feel at ease and gave me simple, practical tools that made a huge difference! She helped me understand how to own my own voice and speak with confidence. Now, I walk into any speaking situation knowing how to be prepared and therefore feeling more confident and competent. Jo Ellen is truly the best public speaking coach and I couldn't recommend her enough!
