I believe in you, and I also know that our culture and school systems have caused many people to be intimidated by public speaking. Many well-intentioned teachers and other individuals have given the wrong advice, which only made things worse. I teach you the right attitudes, the right way of thinking about your task, and I provide specific assistance in the area of content. Some specific strategies can help with delivery, but you’ll be amazed at how delivery takes care of itself once you’ve freed yourself from wrong teaching. While I offer public speaking classes for children to make sure they get started with the right attitudes and a solid foundation of confidence, I only offer private coaching for adults. Toastmasters groups are available for adults who desire group practice. My role is to work with you as an individual, to prepare you to benefit from such a class, to help you prepare for important presentations at work, and to clear away any hindrances to your success.

”I highly recommend Caryl as an instructor. From the very first class session, she held the students’ attention and interest. She kept each class session moving at a lively
pace with deliberate lesson plans, yet the students were not overwhelmed. In fact,
right from the beginning the students visibly relaxed and enjoyed the positive learning
atmosphere Caryl provided. It was exciting for me as a parent to see how quickly my
children’s abilities progressed under her instruction. I would welcome any opportunity
to place my children in classes with Caryl.”
