About Me
As your dedicated coach, I am passionate about helping you enhance your public speaking and presentation skills. Focus on your communication abilities. Together, we will build your self-assurance and confidence, so that you can deliver your presentation professionally and with ease.
We will showcase your strengths and position you as a recognized leader who always delivers their best. Let’s get started on this journey.
I’ve been interested in improving my overall speaking skills for the past year, particularly in a professional capacity,
and was lucky enough to work with Dorothea privately over the course of a month. Dorothea truly cares about her clients; before we began, she took the time to understand my challenges and learning goals to create a personalized course for my unique situation. She brings her immense wealth of knowledge and expertise to each of our sessions to bolster understanding and confidence. I especially appreciate her practical approach to coaching as she ensures there is plenty of time for in-session practice, critical feedback, and real-time tips for improvement. It’s been a wonderful experience working with Dorothea
and I would highly recommend any woman looking for a safe, encouraging environment to practice speaking,
to consider working with Dorothea!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME
As your coach and partner, my goal is to help you in your public speaking and presentation skills. Every coaching session will take a client-centred approach. This means my agenda is your agenda. I will fully support you as you work toward achieving your speaking goals: sharing your vision, telling your stories, delivering your message.
As your coach, I will draw on my experience, education and training to best serve your needs, to help you craft what you want to say, and how to say it when it matters most. I will listen intently, be open and honest in all our communication. I will ask questions, offer feedback, as well as ask you for yours. I will make suggestions to help you improve your speaking and presentation effectiveness. As your coach, I will encourage you to stay focused on the steps you need to take to get the outcome you are looking for.
Unless otherwise directed, know that I will hold our coaching sessions and progress made in those sessions in confidence. My commitment is to helping you achieve your speaking best.
What I Expect From You
That you will work toward, and are committed to, creating the best possible outcome of our coaching process. That you will allow me, as your speaking coach, to challenge, guide and support you in this commitment. That you will honour our scheduled sessions and give advanced notice if you are unable to follow-through. That you will enter into every session with a positive and forward-thinking mindset. Because the coaching process is a process that has been co-created between you and me, you also understand the results you get are linked directly to your participation in this process.
From the start of our sessions working together, you will let me know what you need from me to help you to achieve your speaking goals. As we move through our sessions, you will let me know if you are having difficulty with an exercise, or a topic we are discussing, or an issue with assignment completion.
Thank you for helping me create, craft and deliver my
TEDx talk, “Show Up To Rise Up”
and my recent keynote presentation,
“Take Care of You”
which was a tremendous success.
Thanks Dorothea. You Rock!
