PUBLIC SPEAKING IS MORE THAN JUST STANDING ON STAGE!

To think public speaking is only about delivering speeches is like assuming an executive’s sole role is solely to attend meetings.

 

It’s FAR more nuanced than that.

As a leader, you’re ALWAYS “on stage,” whether you’re addressing a packed conference hall, leading a team meeting, or chatting with a colleague over Zoom.

 

Every gesture, every word, every pause... everything you do is observed, interpreted, and remembered.

Drawing from my experience as a union SAG/AFTRA professional actor and theatre and film director, I know firsthand how to harness the power of presence, connection, and storytelling to captivate any audience.

Great leaders understand that developing a strong stage presence isn’t just for the spotlight.

 

It’s essential for building trust, inspiring action, and creating meaningful relationships.

With my proven three-step Public Speaking Coaching, you’ll master:

  • The secrets of body language to command attention.

  • Confidence-boosting techniques to calm nerves and own the room.

  • Strategies to tailor your message so it truly resonates with your audience.

This is your chance to transform how you speak and connect with those who need your voice.

 

Let’s get you ready for your next big (or small) stage.

We’ll help you refine your authentic voice, ensuring you present with confidence and clarity, whether speaking to a small group or a massive audience.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Arts DuPage partnered with Azizi Marshall on "Mental Health for the Arts," a two-hour workshop that addressed the needs of artists and arts leaders while they navigate their way out of the pandemic. Targeted, relevant, and compelling, the presentation featured examples and situations that resonated with the attendees. Azizi's content was relatable and comprehensive and delivered in the safe environment she created. Participants freely engaged in discussions and felt comfortable asking questions, something often difficult to accomplish when the subject matter is quite sensitive.

I would highly recommend Azizi Marshall as a dedicated professional, proven mental health leader, and accomplished trainer. I look forward to future collaborations with Azizi that will benefit both the artists and the art lovers in our community.
