Next to dying, people rank public speaking as the most anxiety-inducing experience they have to face. When we suffer from performance anxiety, our body tenses, we take quick short breaths, while our mind bombards us with negative thoughts. I can help you overcome your anxiety and deliver powerful presentations and speeches.
You could have the best speech writer in the world write a speech for you, but it’s your delivery that will either inspire your audience or bore them to sleep. I can help you master your delivery.
Your accent connects you to your culture and is a part of your uniqueness. But you also don’t want your pronunciation to prevent people from understanding you. You can reduce your accent and make yourself better understood. During one-on-one coaching sessions, I can help you speak more clearly and with confidence.
The anticipation of getting on stage often activated my inner critic, whispering fears of all that could go wrong. Having Alyson Connolly help me address those fears was an unexpectedly fun learning experience. She approaches the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of speaking, so you can understand why you do the things you do. Alyson was always willing to listen to my presentations and gave me feedback in a way that felt positive, that made me want to make the changes she suggested because they made sense. Because of her technique, now I step on stage with skills, confidence, and a robust appreciation for the most effective way to deliver my message to my audience. For anyone wanting to add a professional polish to their speaking, I recommend Alyson’s coaching without hesitation. I will continue to utilize her skill set to support me in my growth as a professional speaker.
