Show up for the moments that matter.

Maybe you get super nervous on Zoom calls…

Clammy hands, unable to speak, the works.

Maybe the calendar invite for 1:1 meetings with your boss sends chills up your spine.

Maybe you procrastinate your most important tasks and pay for it later—every d*mn time.

Maybe you’re sick and tired of not feeling like you can be your authentic self at work.

Our work together doesn’t eliminate anxiety, stress, or fear forever—we’re human beings, and they’re a part of the experience. The PowerSpeak method invites them to the table as welcome friends.

As soon as we accept these feelings and understand them, they become less powerful, and we can be more intentional in the moments that matter most. 

It all starts with a shift: Instead of letting emotions run the show, we retake control over how we experience our big moments.

Go from performing to being present.

The Mission
Critical Moment

This path is for you if you’re laser-focused on a time-sensitive goal and need help reaching it. Maybe you’ve got a keynote talk to give in six months or a big presentation for the C-suite in one. 

We start with holistic mental reframing to prepare your mind and body for the event, then move to presentation development and asynchronous rehearsals. In a series of more condensed sessions, I’ll help you meet the moment and build a presentation that will captivate the crowd, while you stay true to yourself.

Pricing Starting at $750 USD

The Authentic
Presence Blueprint

Leaders looking for ongoing support, I got you. We’ll develop a plan to get you from where you are now to where you want to be—showing up as your authentic self in the moments that matter.

The Authentic Presence Blueprint is perfect for folks who want to build their public-speaking confidence, understand the ins and outs of networking, defeat procrastination or perfectionism once and for all—anything that involves finding, amplifying, and embracing your authentic voice. This more intensive package spans a custom schedule of weekly 1:1 sessions, often for two to three months.

Pricing Starting at $800 USD per month

kind words from empowered clients

“I had tried Toastmasters, books, and online resources, but nothing truly worked until Greg’s program. He didn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all curriculum—he built a program for me, one that addressed every fear, every pain point, and every goal I shared with him.”

The Intake Process

No stuffy intake form here; you answer some initial questions via an audio file (so feel free to take a walk or cook your favorite meal while you do).

The Kickoff: Safe Space

We meet for 30 minutes to run through the plan and align on your goals. From the start, we create a collaborative space for you to be vulnerable and dig deep while laying the foundation for progress.

step three

The First Session: Visualization

We start with a 25-minute guided meditation exercise that works via top-down mental reframing (i.e. I teach skills that help you engage with the anxieties you feel about your voice in a very controlled setting). By conditioning our bodies to feel emotions in advance, they become a little bit softer in real life. We become ready instead of reactive.

Ongoing Sessions: Retooling

Time to rewire your mind. Through the unique mental, physical, and practical approaches of the PowerSpeak method, we build your custom toolkit to bring power, control, and intentionality into the moments that matter most.

I’m here to help you move from uneasy and unsure to unleashed and unstoppable.
