Why BostonSpeaks is different

Every time you speak, there are two audiences: the room, and the voice in your head. Most coaches train you for the room. We start with the voice.

BostonSpeaks is a public speaking coaching company that specializes in public speaking anxiety. For ten years we've helped professionals quiet the inner critic first, then build the delivery skills on top. The result is confidence that holds up when the stakes are high.

Mindset before skillset.
Sound familiar?

You're good at your job. Speaking is the one thing that doesn't feel that way.

We've heard from 600+ people about their fear of speaking. If one of these sounds like you, you're in the right place.

"People think I'm a great communicator. If they only knew."
"At this stage in my career, I shouldn't feel this way."
"If I know about a presentation weeks in advance, I'm in a horrible mind space for two weeks."
"As hard as I've tried to outwork this, I haven't been able to overcome it."
