Build repeatable frameworks for future talks, panels, and leadership presentations.
Responsibilities
Conduct an initial assessment of speaking style, strengths, and growth areas.
Co‑create a 3‑month coaching plan with clear milestones and session cadence.

Provide delivery coaching: live practice, feedback, and techniques to manage nerves and increase impact.
Review and refine scripts, slide content, and speaker notes where needed.
Offer specific feedback after practice runs (video review, recorded rehearsals, or live mock talks).
Share tools and exercises for ongoing improvement (e.g., breathing, vocal variety, presence, Q&A handling).
Provide brief progress updates and adjust the plan based on results and upcoming speaking opportunities.
Required Qualifications
10+ years of experience as a communication, public‑speaking, or executive‑presence coach.
Demonstrated experience coaching clients for TEDx, keynotes, or similar high‑stakes talks (links or examples strongly preferred).
Proven track record working with senior professionals, executives, or subject‑matter experts.
Strong knowledge of storytelling techniques, talk structure, and audience engagement strategies.
Ability to give direct, actionable feedback in a supportive, confidential way.
Comfortable working virtually (video‑based sessions) and using recordings for feedback.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with clients in consulting, or leadership roles.
Familiarity with TED/TEDx talk format and curation expectations.
Experience helping clients refine thought‑leadership positioning (signature topics, narratives, and personal brand).
Coaching certifications (e.g., ICF, leadership or communication coaching programs) are a plus but not required.
Time Commitment and Logistics
Duration: 3 months.
Expected cadence: [e.g., weekly 60–90 minute sessions plus asynchronous review of materials].
Availability: Must be able to accommodate sessions during [your preferred windows, e.g., weekday evenings Eastern Time and some weekends].
Engagement type: Independent contractor, invoicing monthly.
How Success Will Be Measured
Completion and rehearsal of at least one polished 10–18minute talk.
Increased confidence and clarity in delivering messages to executive and public audiences.
Observable improvement in delivery (as evidenced by before/after recordings and self‑assessment).
Readiness to apply the tools and frameworks independently to future talks.
