Travia coached me in preparation for a speaking engagement at a major conference last fall and helped me focus my storytelling capabilities to ensure I had a powerful message.

She is a wonderful coach, and I highly recommend her to become your trusted advisor on future speaking engagements!. -Je'Nen M. Chastain, Marketing Manager

 

Travia is more than a speaking coach. She is a leader who is passionate about transforming the public presence and voice of others. She has helped me with both the technical aspects of public speaking as well as the mindset shift needed to remove the internal doubts and barriers that stand in the way. I highly recommend her. Bilen Mesfin Packwood, Founder

 

Travia is a great trainer and coach. I have attended two of her workshops recently and they helped me to prepare myself better for speaking and marketing opportunities. She is a good listener and judge of ways to improve techniques, but also is obviously very knowledgeable about strategy and theory. Jim Bergdoll, Urban Planner 

 

Travia is a phenomenal speaking coach. I attended one of her workshops and it was highly informative – who knew public speaking is both a science and an art! Travia’s one-on-one coaching has helped me prepare for important client presentations as well as for classroom instruction. I went into all situations both confident and with a plan thanks to our sessions together. Carrie Maultsby-Lute, Marketing Consultant
