Bio

alan-bio1balan-bio1cI discovered my love of teaching public speaking while pursuing my Master of Arts degree in Organizational Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. As an M.A. candidate, I paid for my education by teaching Public Speaking 101 to incoming freshmen and coaching the Ohio University Speech & Debate Team.

From that point forward, I knew that I wanted to continue to help people become better storytellers and public speakers.

In the years since earning my M.A., I have offered corporate and non-profit clients a range of communication services.

1102721_10153130654695596_551817524_oI have extensive experience in working with individuals to assist them in writing or refining their speeches and improving their delivery. I have conducted numerous group seminars in which I have helped participants learn how to be better storytellers and more compelling speakers. I also have years of experience in writing and producing scripts & speeches for major non-profit fundraising events.

I have also continued to teach at the college level and have helped hundreds of students improve their communication skills by teaching classes in interpersonal communication, public speaking, and proficiency in English as a Second Language.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of corporate and non-profit clients including executives from NBC/Universal, Viacom, Warner Bros., Frito-Lay, Cunard/Princess Cruise Lines, Deutsche Bank, Smart & Final, Bayer, Hoechst, Human Rights Campaign, and Point Foundation, among others.

The services I offer are as unique and as individualized as the clients I serve.
