What My Clients Say

Stephanie Wright, Strategic Management Coach/TEDx Speaker

For years, I bulldozed my way through speaking engagements—part anxiety, part adrenaline, and 100% chaos courtesy of my ADHD. But working with Patrick at Connect Public Speaking changed everything.


He didn’t try to strip away my quirks or tone down my fire. Instead, he helped me harness my energy—teaching me to pause with purpose, move with meaning, and breathe like the message mattered (because it does). He turned my pace into power and gave me tools to turn my mental ping-pong match into a focused, intentional delivery that still felt 100% me.
 

Patrick doesn’t just coach. He transforms. He finds what’s uniquely you, then designs a strategy around it. With his guidance, I didn’t just gain confidence—I reclaimed my stage presence. He teaches you to own your voice, silence your inner critic, and how to embrace the space between the words and breathing.
 

If you’ve ever feared public speaking—or felt like your brilliant ideas got lost in your delivery—run, don’t walk to Patrick. He’ll challenge you, inspire you, and absolutely will not let you walk away unchanged. He’s not just gifted—he’s a game-changer.

It doesn't matter if you're a sixth grader or a CEO, fear is fear and public speaking still tops the list of what most people in the world fear.

If this applies to you, let me help.

Some favorite quotes about speaking:

 

"Never say anything that will not improve on silence."

Richard Yates

​

"It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

Maurice Switzer

​

“A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something.”

Plato

​

“There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.”

Dale Carnegie​​

​

So if you are going to "face the dragon" and put yourself out there to be heard, do the work to give yourself the best opportunity to be a success and make it memorable!
