Client story

“I felt no anxiety at all. I was actually excited to get up and give my presentation. Before working with Jillian, I would not have believed that I could ever write that sentence.”

In his words

I reached out to Jillian nearly two years ago with one goal: stop letting my fear of public speaking make decisions for me. I've had a stutter my entire life, and because of my stutter and anxiety, I avoided the podium whenever I could.

From the start, her coaching was built around me. She worked with me on tempo and delivery, and taught me how to pace myself instead of rushing to get the words out. She also had me record my practice sessions. I didn't love watching those at first, but they showed me exactly what to work on, and her practice plans gave me a clear way to work on it between sessions.

The real test came when I presented to a large audience. I felt no anxiety at all. I was actually excited to get up and give my presentation. Before working with Jillian, I would not have believed that I could ever write that sentence.

Jillian is invested in her clients, and it shows in every session. If public speaking has always been the thing you avoid or you need counsel on communication strategy, give her a call.

How I can help

Coaching & training

01

Presentation & public speaking coaching

For individuals

For the pitch, the panel, the big room. I'll help you get out of your own way, walk in calm and ready, and speak with the confidence your seat at the table deserves.

  • Coaching built around you and the moments that matter most to you
  • Tempo, delivery and pacing, so you stop rushing and start landing your points
  • Tools to move past speaking anxiety, so nerves stop making the decisions for you
  • Confidence in any setting, from the meeting and the panel to the podium and the camera

02

Media training

For companies & leadership teams

The inside view on how newsrooms really work, so your team knows what to expect and has a plan ready for the moment you hope never happens.

  • How the media operates when a story breaks, from someone who covered breaking news for nearly 20 years
  • What to expect from reporters, and how to prepare your spokespeople
  • A crisis communication plan in place before you ever need it
  • On-camera practice so your team stays calm under pressure

03

Social media storytelling

For people & teams

The more you share your story, the more people know you or your business. I'll get you comfortable on camera and show you how to turn an ordinary day into content that builds your brand.

  • The mindset that everything is content, for your personal brand or your business
  • Getting comfortable pressing record, and staying yourself when you do
  • How to turn everyday moments into posts people want to follow
  • A simple way to keep sharing your story consistently
She has a gift for coaching professionals in their development. I cannot recommend Jillian strongly enough! I've already sent one of my employees to her for training and I'm planning another cycle for myself soon.
