Public Speaking

Your mastery of Public Speaking will be cultivated by accessing the expressive range of your own voice discovered from within. This creates strong storytelling, which I believe is central to becoming a better communicator and leader. My coaching approach steers you away from rigid academic steps in your head. Instead, I will guide you to experience new vocal freedoms and gift you permission as we venture into the pure joy of self-expression that undoubtedly will emerge.

The distinction to my coaching lends clarity through the actor’s perspective. Less rigid thinking liberates you to reach listeners as an aware insightful storyteller, not a script reciter. Your new found confidence will connect to the true emotion behind your message that audiences will embrace as natural and memorably authentic, not contrived or read.

Testimonials

Matt is a fantastic coach. He does all the small things well: simple scheduling, flexible, professional, etc. More importantly, he takes time to help identify how best you can improve and then works with you to make those changes. He gives real world advice that has made a big impact for me personally. Highly recommend!!

I am having an amazing experience working with Matt. He helped coach me through my first public speaking event and it went really well. Matt is easy going and makes me feel extremely comfortable in helping me reach my communication goals. He is patient and takes the time to understand my needs. I look forward to my next session.

Matt came down to work with my team for a few hours this week. It was by far one of the best investments I have made when it comes to building my brand. We learned so much about how to be better on camera. Will hire him again in the future.

Matt has been a great coach for me. I reached out to him to work on my presentation and delivery execution. My goal was to improve my communication in professional and business settings. I learned some great techniques to help get messages across, but more importantly - how to bring others along and feel just as committed. Throughout the process I've learned a lot about myself and feel armed with tools I didn't know I needed! Thank you, Matt!

-Chris M

-Kat S

I had a great experience and result working with Matt. My event that required me to do a public speaking came to me 2 days prior the event and I reached out to Matt immediately. Fortunately Matt was very responsive and willing to fit me into his schedule. He trained me with effective techniques and my event turned out a great success! Highly recommend.

I found Matt in the 11th hour before giving a Best Man speech in front of 200 people. Not going to lie I was in bad shape mentally second guessing everything about my content and delivery. For months I wrote different versions and used 2 Public speaking “coaches” which helped slightly. I then joined toastmasters, landmark forum, executive presence at Cornell university. All in efforts to strengthen my presentation and public speaking skills. All of which helped me a lot. But one of the best decisions I made was hiring Matt Mueller. He has a gift that words cannot describe. I instantly felt 100% comfortable which allowed me to open up. It was a very difficult time for me I am ALWAYS a confident and outgoing person but the pressure and anticipation of the best man speech in front of so many people truly got in my head and Matt was the last person I talked to days before the wedding. He got me calm, cool, and collected. Of course he helped with preparation, improved my content, showed me how to improve the delivery with more enthusiasm, provided a great amount of “tools” and “lingo” that helped me understand things easily. Eliminated my “work talk” and got me comfortable being uncomfortable. Hands down the best guy for the job. Thanks again Matt
