Public speaking doesn’t have to be terrifying; it can make you nervous yet still be your greatest asset. Whether you’re speaking in a boardroom, on stage at a global conference, or during a virtual meeting with stakeholders, your ability to communicate with clarity, authenticity, and impact can define your leadership. That’s precisely where Executive Speaking Success (ESS) comes in.

Whether you’re in Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, New York, or anywhere else in the world, ESS is here to support you in becoming the confident, influential speaker you were meant to be.

What Executive Coaching Can Do for Your Public Speaking

At ESS, we don’t just “fix” public speaking problems. We unlock your natural ability to connect. Our coaching is grounded in neuroscience and built around the storytelling principles that move people to action.

Executive coaching helps you:

• Understand and harness your unique voice
  
  
• Overcome nerves with proven mindset and breathwork techniques
  
  
• Build leadership presence with TED-worthy confidence
  
  
• Connect with any audience – from internal teams to global stages
  
  

This isn’t one-size-fits-all training. It’s a tailored journey to help you show up powerfully in every high-stakes communication moment.

Why Expert Coaching Makes the Difference

You’ve got the experience. You’ve got the expertise. But if your message isn’t landing, it’s time to fine-tune the delivery. With the right coach, you’ll get personally tailored:

• Real-time, actionable feedback (including video review of your delivery)
  
  
• Confidence-building strategies rooted in neuroscience
  
  
• Clear structure and support to keep you growing session after session
  
  

ESS clients walk away not only with stronger speaking skills, but with a deeper understanding of how they show up as leaders.

Proven Techniques That Take Your Speaking to the Next Level

We teach the techniques used by the world’s most compelling speakers:

• Storytelling that sells your message: You’ll learn how to turn dry data into stories that move hearts and change minds.
  
  
• Body language and vocal presence: You’ll master the subtle (and not-so-subtle) nonverbal cues that amplify your authority.
  
  
• Audience engagement: Whether in-person or virtual, you’ll learn how to keep your listeners leaning in from start to finish.
  
  

These techniques aren’t just nice to have, they’re the tools that build trust, inspire action, and transform you into a go-to communicator.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Take Sarah, a high-potential leader in tech. Public speaking made her anxious until she started coaching with ESS. Today, she leads team-wide presentations and represents her company at industry events with poise and passion.

Or consider Mark, an executive who went from dreading keynote speeches to earning standing ovations. How? He discovered the power of sharing personal stories, asking engaging questions, and showing up as his authentic self. That’s what we call transformation.

Finding the Right Coach Is Key

Not all coaching is created equal. ESS is built for leaders like you, professionals who are already doing big things and want to amplify their impact.

When choosing an executive coach, look for someone who:

• Understands your industry
  
  
• Has a track record of working with high-level clients
  
  
• Offers neuroscience-backed, storytelling-infused strategies
  
  
• Sees and develops your natural strengths—not just your weaknesses
  
  

We’re proud to have coached leaders from NASA, Johnson & Johnson, Google, Intuit, and more.

Here’s what one of our clients has to say:
>Wendy Gu, PhD, Principal Research Scientist and Medical Liaison at Boston Scientific

I’m a Principal Research Scientist and Medical Liaison at Boston Scientific, so clear and effective communication is crucial for both of my roles. I’ve had the privilege of working with John through 1:1 and group coaching opportunities. I had previously taken many presentation skills courses, so I was initially skeptical about how beneficial working with John would be, but it turned out to be life-changing. Not only has he helped me improve my communication and presentation skills, to my surprise and delight, he has also helped me change my mindset, which is the most powerful asset we have. Our mindset shapes everything we perceive and everything we do. After working with John, I have a much more confident and empathetic mindset, which has helped me both professionally and personally.  If you’re considering working with John, my recommendation is to go for it. The only regret you’ll have is not doing it sooner.
