Public Speaking coach

I believe that storytelling, vulnerability, a great message, vocal variety, a little levity, and practice will set you free!

For three years, I have been a proud Speaker Delivery Coach for TEDxChicago, where speakers perform yearly in front of over 1,000 people.

I am also an Executive Public Speaking and Performance Coach with Janicek Performance Group and coach clients privately.

Want to give an incredible keynote presentation to your company or a knockout speech at a conference? Want to raise money with donors or pitch yourself as an entrepreneur?

I’ll make sure you deliver a dynamic, clear, and memorable presentation, both vocally and physically. (I can also help with your Zoom set-up, or fix your lighting.)

  • "Transformed my ability"

    “I was tasked with interviewing a NYT bestselling author for an audience of 140 people in person and over 150 on Zoom. Public speaking had long been my singular biggest fear. Dana not only helped me frame the experience with a positive perspective and provided emotional context, she appealed to my interest in mindfulness, and gave me the gift of confidence and support that transformed my ability to pull this thing OFF. I was not only NOT nervous, I ENJOYED it, all thanks to Dana’s help.”
