How We Work Together
I provide personalized coaching on the vocal and physical mechanics, content and audience engagement strategies for effective and memorable presentations.​ You will receive immediate, practical feedback and instructional activities that you can implement as you practice on your own.
​
The first step is to schedule a Match Call, a brief conversation to see if we are a good fit and can work together to meet your goals.
I can help you with...
Crafting Your
Speech
Engaging Your
Audience
Strengthening Your
Vocal/Physical Presence
Telling Your Story
Traverse
"short journey from point A to point B"
(One hour)
$300
This one-off session will provide you with some basic insight into the skills and engagement strategies you can implement to make a positive impression.
​​
If you have an important interview, want to brush up on your presenting skills or have a short presentation to prepare, this is an ideal package for you to consider.​
Trail Mapping
"choosing and planning your route"
(90 minute session)
$400
This is a deep-dive conversation where I will get to know everything about your approach to public speaking – what you’ve done, where you want to go. We'll discuss your strengths and how I can make you a better presenter.
We'll explore your vocal presence and physicality --"What do I do with my hands?!"
We will also discuss how you strategize and structure your speeches for maximum audience engagement to reach your desired destination.
Then you can implement any suggestions on your own or hire me to work with you to get you traveling on the path to impactful presentations.
A portion of the cost ($100) of the Trail Mapping is applied to an extended package (see Tour or Trek) if you move forward. Many people just invest in this package because it’s valuable on its own.
Tour
"a guided, organized multi-day journey"
(3 one-hour sessions)
$600
These three sessions will allow you to implement and receive feedback about your use of the techniques and strategies discussed in the Trail Mapping. We will work intensively with focus on communicative purpose -- that destination you're trying to reach with your audience --presentation strategy, including use of support materials, vocals, physicality, audience engagement and your CTA (call to action).
​
If you have a conference presentation, a marketing or investor pitch or a wedding speech, this is an ideal package for you to consider.
​
MY MOST POPULAR PACKAGE!
Trek
"a vigorous, extended journey"
(6 one-hour sessions)
$1200
These six sessions will entail a more intensive exploration of the strategies and techniques discussed in the Trail Mapping, with more extensive practical application of persuasive structure, vocal and physical dynamics and "choreography" and a LOT of immediate feedback.
​
If you are a keynote speaker, a TED speaker, leadership coach, corporate trainer, or simply do a lot of public speaking and want to elevate your skills, this is the best package for you to consider.

"You can read all the Brené Brown books and educate yourself on communication, trust, and team building, or you can take Patrick's class and truly develop those skills. I learned more about myself and working with others than I have in many other forums, including the college classroom where I taught for 30 years. The impact from taking Patrick's classes is making a difference in both my work and personal life, and I will continue to sign up for his classes whenever possible to improve my skills and continue to grow. I know the people with whom I work will benefit, and most definitely so will I."
