You’re a smart, confident, and accomplished individual.

But when it comes to communicating or speaking in public, your heart rate goes up. You:

Have butterflies in your stomach (and elsewhere)

 

❌ Feel like your mouth and brain don’t connect

 

❌ Constantly second-guess yourself about the way you speak

 

❌ Over-prepare (but it doesn’t help)

 

❌ Under-prepare because you are anxious and don’t know how to prepare effectively

 

❌ Worry about how your accent will be received and whether you will be misunderstood

Well, not anymore.

How would it feel to work without speaker anxiety, breaking out in a sweat, and fear of personal rejection?


What if you could convert your speaking challenges into joyful opportunities and:

Live up to your maximum potential by fully communicating your expertise and value

 

Amplify your impact by mastering your true voice

 

✔  Be respected for who you are and appreciated for what you have to say

 

Cut through the noise and stand out from the crowd

 

 Experience the joy of being recognized for your speaking success

This can be you…

Great speakers are NOT born…They are MADE!

Hi, I’m SJ

A Global Voice & Performance Coach of 15+ years,

and I’m here to tell you everyone can learn how to speak and communicate with ease and joy regardless of their culture, environment, or background.

Ranked in the Top 1 % of Voice and Public Speaking Coaches, I trained at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and I’ve worked for 25 years as an awarded actor, playwright, and producer in 3 countries. 

As a mother of two and the head of a multicultural, bilingual household I am highly attuned to matters of identity. 

As a coach with clients from many different backgrounds, ethnicities, and countries, I understand the desire to stay true to one’s cultural context and be clearly understood in the global environment. 

And as an internationally trained performer with a strong background in organizational culture, I have a wide range of tools at my disposal to help you develop  your physical and psychological voice.

Let me meet you where you are at and help you unlock your unique speaking voice.

SJ is a member of VASTA (Voice & Speech Trainers Association)

Love From Former Clients

“Before working with SJ, I tried everything to improve my confidence and skill in  public speaking.  SJ’s approach led me to feel a sense of ownership over my transformation.  I am now expressive in my body when briefing senior leaders, my voice is confident and I no longer feel less than.”  
Mimose P.

“My colleagues have commented on my presence when I am speaking to large groups, my sense of ease and command of content. Since working with SJ, I have found my voice, and this has been life-changing.  I cannot recommend SJ enough.”
Katherine D.

Along with how to ground my voice, SJ helped me with how to structure meetings and set boundaries to allow for more productive outcomes.  I never in my life imagined I would look forward to speaking opportunities, but now I do!  I not only found my physiological voice, but my spiritual one as well!” 
Melissa S.

“I primarily came to SJ for my accent. But I have gained a lot more than I expected. I became better at communicating, speaking, and being heard. This helped me tremendously in my professional life.  My confidence has opened up new doors & opportunities. I think that’s really powerful!” 
Somtirtha R.

Transform your public speaking experience today

As a voice and performance coach who has worked with over 300 people from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds, I know you want to make an impact and be heard and respected in all roles in life.

To do that, you need to develop a powerful, authentic speaking voice. But every time you get on stage or start an important conversation, a teeny tiny voice in your head hampers you. This is the voice of past experiences, blocks, and familiar emotions all working together to create a vicious cycle.

I passionately believe that anyone can develop a powerful speaking voice. And it’s my honor to help you find that voice and expand your speaking success. The victories I’ve seen are the reason I do this work!

That’s why I have a wide range of tried and tested tools at my disposal to help you succeed. Together we join the puzzle pieces to form a clear picture of your personal and professional strengths – as well as identifying your obstacles to finding your authentic voice. 

Let’s work together to leverage who you are – your cultural, professional, and educational background – instead of letting it hold you back – and start communicating your value to the world with a voice that shakes the rafters.
