SOUND FAMILIAR?

You Watch Yourself Back and Something Feels Off — But You Can't Name It.

You've seen the recording. You know it's not where it should be. Maybe the energy is flat. Maybe you're talking too fast. Maybe you can't figure out why you sound confident in person but wooden on camera. You know there's a gap — you just don't have the framework to diagnose it.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

The Blind Spot

You can't coach yourself on what you can't see. Most leaders have never received specific, expert feedback on how they actually show up when they speak.

The Guesswork Trap

Without a trained eye, you're left guessing which habits to break and which to keep. You might be fixing the wrong things — or making changes that actually hurt your delivery.

The Compounding Cost

Every presentation, every video, every meeting where the gap goes undiagnosed is a missed opportunity. The habits you don't address today become the patterns your audience remembers tomorrow.

THE APPROACH

This Isn't Generic Feedback. It's a Diagnostic.

Most speaking feedback is surface-level: "You say 'um' too much." That's a symptom, not a diagnosis. The Video Speaking Evaluation uses the same six-pillar methodology I apply in my private coaching — analyzing your message structure, delivery mechanics, presence, and audience connection to give you a complete picture of where you are and exactly where to focus.

Twenty years of coaching experience and a Dale Carnegie Master Trainer certification give me the trained eye to spot what's working and what's silently undermining you.

HOW IT WORKS

Three Steps. One Outcome: Clarity.

STEP 1

Submit Your Video

After purchase, you receive a link to upload a video of yourself speaking — a presentation, a meeting recording, a practice run, or a video you've produced. You also share context: who was the audience, what were you trying to accomplish.

STEP 2

The Evaluation

I watch your video multiple times, analyzing six dimensions: message clarity, structural flow, vocal delivery, physical presence, audience engagement cues, and overall confidence projection. I document specific timestamps and patterns.

STEP 3

Your Video Review

Within 5 business days, you receive a detailed video evaluation from me — walking you through what's working, what's not, and a prioritized breakdown of exactly what to work on first. No vague praise. No generic checklists. Specific coaching tied to specific moments in your video.

A NOTE ON FIT

This Isn't For Everyone

This isn't a motivational pep talk or a "top 5 tips" PDF. If you want someone to tell you you're doing fine, this isn't the right investment. This is for leaders who want an honest, expert-level breakdown of how they actually communicate — and a specific plan to get better. It requires being open to feedback and willing to do the work.

THE MOMENT

You Already Know Something's Off

You've watched yourself back. You've felt the gap between how you think you sound and how you actually sound. You've just never had someone with 20 years of coaching experience sit down with your footage and tell you exactly what's happening and exactly how to fix it. This is that.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before You Start

What kind of video should I send?

Any video of you speaking — a recorded presentation, a Zoom meeting, a practice run, a podcast appearance, or a self-recorded video. Minimum 5 minutes, maximum 30 minutes. The more representative of your typical communication, the better.

Does the video need to be professional quality?

No. Smartphone quality is fine. What matters is that I can clearly see and hear you. A Zoom recording works perfectly.

What if I don't have an existing video?

Record one. Pick a topic you know well, set up your phone, and give a 10–15 minute talk as if you were presenting to your team. That's enough for a thorough evaluation.

Can my company pay for this?

Absolutely. Many clients expense this as professional development. I can provide an invoice for your organization.
