Coaching Philosophy
We help people get out of their own way by getting their focus off of themselves somewhat and onto the bigger picture. What impact do they want to have on the world? What do they want people to do after they’ve spoken? How do they want them to feel?
Our calling is to help people find and express their voice. We treat people the way we’d want to be treated, so we coach the way we’d like to be coached or helped or taught - with positivity, empathy, direct honesty, and praise.
With many years of coaching, we have honed our methods using feedback from coachees, success of their talks (i.e. YouTube or TED.com views and comments), and lots of practice. We can help you draw out your content and hone your ideas. That being said, we won’t work with you if your values are out of alignment with ours.
Meet Beth
Principal Beth Wolfer has years of public speaking coaching and teaching experience. She has coached hundreds of TEDx speakers, business executives, nonprofit leaders, and students using her positive, clear coaching style. A number of her TEDx speakers’ videos have millions of views and others are on their way.
Beth got her start in public relations after graduating from the University of Southern California. She has served in the nonprofit world as a Development Professional since the late 1990s, raising money and awareness for excellent causes. She has prepared Executive Directors for media appearances and large presentations and teaches public speaking in Salt Lake City. She also offers classes and workshops to colleagues in Animal Welfare and at the University of Utah College of Medicine.
“Beth was instrumental for me helping truly own my voice and dig down deep for my TEDx training and further for my public speaking growth. She taught me the power that less is more when speaking and writing. She has an innate ability to understand and see that your subconscious has more to say. I encourage anyone who wants to truly express themselves to work with Beth.”
