THOUGHT LEADERS

with Julie Wilson

As an award-winning producer, I have witnessed some of the biggest voices of our time transform written words into captivating performances. What do they all have in common? Authenticity.

​

My goal is to help you craft public performances that feel uniquely you.

​

We each have our own individual reasons for speaking publicly. You may be a CEO who regularly presents to employees and stakeholders. You may be launching a podcast and need help developing your voice. You may be preparing to propose to the love of your life or to officiate your best friend's wedding. You may be shy on camera and adjusting to presenting virtually to your team and colleagues. All reasons are worthy of training as you prepare for the biggest milestones in your professional and personal life.

​

I will personalize sessions to your individual needs and experience levels, and I am delighted to work with newbies as well as seasoned public speakers.

​

Unsure of your voice? Public speaking doesn't have to be intimidating. It can actually be fun and exhilarating with the right training and mindset. I strive to inspire you, be that experienced colleague whom you can bounce ideas off of, and ultimately nurture a memorable performance when you are on stage, in a virtual meeting or boardroom.

New to Public Speaking: Welcome, newbies! No matter how excited or nervous you are about speaking publicly for the first time, we can hone your voice, calm your nerves, and develop a stage presence that is uniquely your own.

​

Seasoned Public Speakers: Developing effective public communication skills is key to inspiring and connecting with wide audiences and ultimately motivating them toward action. We will work one-on-one on crafting, rehearsing, and preparing your performances for success. My goal is to inspire confidence in your presentation skills and give you the tools to deliver during your biggest professional milestones. In 2023 that means preparing for both virtual and in-person engagements.

​

Special Occasions & Personal Events: Milestone events only come around once in a lifetime. I coach clients to prepare for weddings, receptions, proposals, retirement parties, birthdays, and graduations. If you have a special event coming up in your life in which you will speak in front of others, we can hone your performance together. There is an art to finding your voice and standing before an audience with confidence balanced by vulnerability. How you appear on a literal or virtual stage will be unique to who you are as a person. Let's work together to make sure you are prepared to shine during life's standout moments.​
