You CAN speak concisely, courageously, and authentically

You’re smart. You're prepared.

You're speaking daily to clients, colleagues, or senior leadership.

  • Still feel your heart pounding, palms sweating, stomach churning, or mind racing when it’s your moment to speak? 
  • Secretly dread forgetting what to say, going off topic, or losing your audience? 
  • Worried you’ll pace too much, run out of breath, gesture too much, use too many ums, well, you know, or look like an unprepared, sweaty, amateur speaker? 

    I get it. Because I've been there. This is why I’ve curated the strategies and techniques from three decades as an Off-Broadway, film, television, voice over actor and storyteller, and created the Talk and Be You™ method—a simple, repeatable storytelling framework from the stage so you:

Speak Concisely

Stop rambling, going off topic, and getting into the weeds with my Tightrope Story Walk™ strategy

Ditch the fear

Quiet your inner critic and convey executive presence by learning and implementing an actor's mindset EVERY time you speak

Lead the room

Command attention by getting rid of distracting pacing, gestures, vocal patterns, and filler words

Speaking like the boldest, clearest version of yourself matters to me. 

What many don’t know is that I grew up around domestic violence, where my voice was ridiculed, diminished, and dismissed. That experience shapes what I do now as the CEO at Center Stage Connections, and why my clients call me The Confidence Whisperer: I help you reframe the stories that hold you back, shape the stories that move you forward, and step fully into the work and life you imagine. You CAN experience the joy of human connection at work, at home, and in life.

Through my Talk and Be You™ method (not therapy, but deeply therapeutic), I guide you to connect the dots between who you are in life and how you show up at work...with what you say and how you say it—in keynotes, presentations, and conversations. 

Here's what a corporate participant said after my signature talk, Make Your Authenticity Your Superpower: 

"I almost cried when Julie shared her personal story. Her story really touched me, and I felt seen by what she shared."

Dan H., Senior Director, Pfizer

I’ve worked with a lot of presentation and public speaking coaches. But this was a completely different experience and way more valuable because I’ve learned things I can continue to apply. Learning how to be clear about what you want to accomplish-it’s tremendous. You’ve helped change the narrative for me. Not just in my presentations. But this experience is going to help me in everything I do.

Katherine C., CEO

Working with Julie is akin to a masterclass in telling your organization’s story concisely and compellingly — while simultaneously bringing your true self to public speaking. She makes feeling vulnerable a superpower, and working together is simply put - so.much.fun.

Senior Director, Top 5 Fortune 100 Company

I worked with Julie for over two months on a high-visibility opening talk at our annual meeting, which was a hybrid event for all stakeholders. I am effective in a conference room, but I needed to do much more than just deliver a speech. This opportunity was way out of my comfort zone. I am extremely nervous on stage and on camera, and needed to push past my deep self-consciousness so it wasn’t obvious to everyone else. Julie’s help was invaluable. She did an amazing job of reframing the whole experience and building my self-confidence. After the event and days after, I received many accolades from my colleagues and senior leaders on how much they enjoyed the content of the talk itself and my “confident stage presence.” Statements that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago. It all felt so natural and smooth. I am grateful for Julie for walking me through the preparation and supporting me every step of the way

Alan G., Managing Partner

At the start, I was a nervous, tentative presenter. By incorporating Julie's lessons and lots of her very specific, actionable "director's notes" I was able to bring my presentations to a whole new level. This will be a game-changer for my career and my role at my firm. Literally, anyone who presents or speaks to audiences at high-stakes meetings should take her course. Public speaking is a skill that can be learned, and Julie at Center Stage Connections is a fantastic teacher!
