Speech Instructor

Highland Community College

Highland Community College serves the needs of the community.

It is my personal mission to help leaders, emerging leaders, and politicians transform their nerves and vague messaging into clear, confident, and unforgettable presentations.

What you say matters; how you say it matters just as much. 

Have you ever experienced that uncomfortable feeling of dry mouth and clammy hands right before giving a speech?

Have you struggled to find the right words to connect with your audience or have trouble landing your message in a succinct way?

Are you tired of dreading your speeches?

If so, I can help!

Being able to effectively communicate is not just a “nice to have” skill -- it’s a requirement for any leader. It makes or breaks your legacy. Done effectively, it can improve morale, set the tone for the company, and inspire action among your employees. 

I have two areas of expertise: helping leaders speak confidently to stakeholders and business development. I enjoy connecting businesses to opportunities.

I have worked with many leaders, just like you. My proven techniques help you get to the root of your performance anxiety and overcome it! As an award winning speaker, my signature course Writing Influential Speeches: A Guide for Highly Effective Professionals is designed to help you feel confident speaking so you can increase employee engagement, inspire your leaders, and increase profits. 

Whether you are practicing for a specific high-stakes event or seeking overall professional development to become a more effective leader, I will meet you where you are and personalize a plan to meet your public speaking goals. 

I offer a digital course, 1:1 and group coaching for leaders and their teams. I get to the root of their public speaking fears and cover advanced public speaking techniques so that my clients have unforgettable speeches.

My clients tell me:
“Melissa is not only an expert in speaking skills, but she is an expert in how to coach, teach and train as well.”

“Using Melissa’s coaching and suggestions allowed me to speak more confidently and boldly”

It’s my mission to help leaders overcome performance anxiety and use advanced public speaking techniques to get their message heard.
