about me
Hi, I’m Meridith, and I have been coaching emerging leaders in public speaking since 2009. I am invested in helping you take your career to the next level by helping you become an effective and compelling speaker who can connect with any audience. I started coaching because I saw a need for people who were not in the performing arts to have someone on their team who could help bring their stories to life by using the same tools actors do. I am looking for clients who would like to achieve career growth and success by cultivating a strong connection through the use of story, and not just through information.
My specialties are in presentation and public speaking consultation, individual training and development, and creative team collaboration using improvisational theatre techniques to build trust, collaboration and creative solutions in communication.
My past clients include:
MERCER, CenturyLink, CU LEEDS School of Business, DePuy, Johnson&Jonson, SurveyGizmo,
CEAVCO, RAPT Media, HDM, Paradigm, Network Affiliates and many others.

I thoroughly believe you will find Meridith a vital resource and after meeting her you will demand she be involved in all future projects.
Marlene N.
Audit Manager at Capital One
Meridith is AWESOME! What I think makes Meridith stand out from other coaches is her guidance on how to add the human element to a presentation - how are you going to engage with the person in the back who has absolutely no idea what you're talking about? I'm very happy that I worked with Meridith and will call her again next time I need her
