I hail from the San Francisco Bay Area and travel the world coaching people on how to prepare for high-stakes speaking opportunities and how to harness speaking anxiety. I do this through keynotes, interactive workshops, live streaming, and 1:1 sessions, both in person and online. The Wall Street Journal called me, “An elevator pitch expert.” for 5 days in a row on WSJ.COM while coaching the top 5 finalists in the actual WSJ elevator in NYC. I am also an Industry Fellow at UC Berkeley and Hong Kong Baptist University, a guest lecturer at Wharton Entrepreneurship, featured on The Kauffman Founders School and a two-time published author.
