Hi. My Name is
With so many speaking coaches out there offering advice it can be very difficult to know who you can trust that will actually deliver the results you are looking for. As a professional keynote speaker with over 20 years of experience in the industry, I remember how frustrating it was to feel stuck and not sure where to turn when I was starting out.
But, I was determined to become unstuck! Over the years I read all the top books, studied all the experts, researched how to find organizations that were hiring speakers, and I refined and improved my presentations. I practiced, tried out new content, took note of what worked, and what didn't. And, I noticed I was getting traction!
Today, I am a globally recognized Branding Expert and Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) who has delivered over one thousand keynote presentations to an impressive list of clients which includes the likes of McDonalds, Procter Gamble, Deloitte, Chase, and Honda.
It has been a truly remarkable journey, and now I want to share with you everything I have learned over the years. I want to give you the tools and foundation you need to consistently deliver phenomenal in-person and virtual paid presentations that will repeatedly get booked, drive more referrals, allow you to break in to new markets, and increase your booking fee.

Stop Wasting Time and Money on Speaker Coaching that Isn't Moving the Needle
In today's market, a single speaker coaching session can easily set you back anywhere from $200 to $500 per hour. If you're looking to craft a standout presentation, you could quickly find yourself shelling out $2,500 or more—and that's assuming the coaching is a success.
Now, factor in the reality that most speakers are juggling multiple programs. Add to that the expectation of today's clients for tailored content to meet their specific needs, and the financial burden of top-tier speaker coaching becomes overwhelming.
The truth is, while personalized speaker coaching can yield impressive results, it's not always the most time-efficient or cost-effective route to achieving your speaking goals.
This is precisely why I founded Your Killer Keynote Academy. My vision is to empower speakers across all levels of expertise, providing them with the tools, insights, and feedback essential to elevate their speaking game.
With our academy, you can craft compelling, bookable presentations without the hefty price tag that can come with traditional coaching models.
So, are you ready to unlock the secrets to delivering powerful presentations that not only resonate with audiences but also increase your bookings—all without draining your resources?
Join Your Killer Keynote Academy today and step into a world where your voice shines, your content captivates, and your speaking career thrives!
