Can you really help someone like me? Yes! For over 20 years, public speaking made me literally sick to my stomach, so I know how paralyzing that anxiety can be. I also know how powerful and transformative it is to break through that fear, because now I stand on stage quivering with excitement instead of nerves. Not only that, I’ve helped countless clients just like you learn to conquer their own speech anxiety and speak with confidence, many of whom are introverts with intense speech anxiety who thought there was no hope for them. If you’re determined to conquer your speech anxiety, and you’re willing to put in the time and effort it takes to change your habits, I promise you I can help you get there. How much time does it take to become a good speaker? What can we really accomplish in two or three sessions? Becoming a great speaker is a lifelong process, but you can make tremendous progress toward your goals over 2-3 sessions of 1:1 coaching if you’re committed to practicing and changing your habits on a daily basis. I’ve seen clients with severe speech anxiety present with confidence at large high-stakes events after only 4-6 hours of 1:1 coaching. I’m not sure I can afford this. What are your rates? Do you offer payment plans? My current rates are available here . I do offer payment plans for clients who are ready to invest in coaching. My clients are tired of staying stuck in their fear of public speaking, tired of delegating presentations to more confident members of their teams, tired of saying no to promotions that come with greater visibility. If you’re ready to invest in coaching so you can say YES to leadership opportunities, contact me. I can trace my fear of public speaking to my childhood. How deep do we go in the sessions? I’m not a licensed psychologist, so I can’t diagnose your anxiety or offer counseling. Instead, I understand speech anxiety from having lived it for years myself and having coached countless clients through it. We’ll explore the roots of your speech anxiety through thoughtful discussion and then get to work tackling your anxiety through practical strategies, tools, and frameworks that you can implement before every meeting or presentation to calm your body, focus your mind, and organize your thoughts. Do you work with clients remotely? Yes, I offer 1:1 coaching remotely and I also lead remote trainings for teams over videoconference. Is there a best time of day to work together? I’m trying to figure out how to add this into my already busy schedule. I’m based in Silicon Valley and I work with clients on weekdays, Pacific Time. I know nothing about public speaking. Do you work with beginners? Absolutely! I work with speakers at all levels, from clients who have long avoided public speaking at all costs to clients who are accomplished speakers and want to take their skills to the next level. My 1:1 coaching and team trainings are customized to meet your needs, and I meet you where you are. Can you customize a training for my team? Yes! If you don’t see what you’re looking for in my list of trainings or you’re not sure exactly what your team needs, please contact me so I can customize a training for you. One of my favorite parts of my job is working with a client to design a new training that perfectly suits the needs of your team. Do you offer public classes? Not at this time, but if you’d like to learn more about public classes I may offer in the future, please join my newsletter and you’ll be the first to know. I’d like to do this with my partner/friend/co-worker. Could you coach two people together? Yes. Please contact me so we can customize a 2:1 coaching package that matches your needs. Do you work with children or teens? I don’t. My services are designed for corporate executives and teams, so I recommend contacting your local Toastmasters public speaking club to find out about youth leadership and presentation skills opportunities for kids in your area. I need to learn English. Can you help me with that? No, but I do offer presentation coaching to both native and non-native English speakers and have worked with hundreds of clients for whom English is a second or third language. When I work with non-native English speakers who want to boost their impact as public speakers, I often help them adjust their pace, emphasis, and presentation structure to maximize clarity. I want to learn how to be a motivational speaker. Do you offer a package for that? If you need a coach to help you craft a powerful and inspiring talk, I’m an expert at helping you shape your content and nail your delivery. If you’re looking for someone to help you master the business side of becoming a professional speaker, that’s not my area of expertise, since most of my clients are corporate executives who speak at their companies, to clients, or at industry events. Where are you located? Where does coaching or training take place? I am based in Silicon Valley and work with clients both in person and remotely.   learn about 1x1 coaching learn about team training       Don't forget to snag your free copy of MY TOP 5 PUBLIC SPEAKING FEAR BUSTERS...   Five pages of super useful tricks I use prior to every speaking engagement—to calm and center myself. click here to get your free book   Back To Top HOME ABOUT 1X1 COACHING TEAM TRAINING SUCCESS STORIES ONLINE SELF-PACED COURSE BLOG FAQ CONTACT Jennifer Hennings, Executive Presentation Coach, San Mateo, CA, United States [email protected]   Copyright © 2025 JENNIFER HENNINGS.

It is one of the most important investments I have made in my professional development over the course of my 30-year career.” Chief Executive Officer “ Working with Jennifer was a game changer. I’m often the public face of a large arts nonprofit, and I had high-stakes talks to deliver to very different audiences—donors, artists, staff, and media. I tended to overstuff content and rush when nervous. I also wasn’t sure how to balance authority with warmth on stage. Jennifer gave me the confidence I needed and how to keep the audience engaged. We tightened my stories, improved pacing and pausing, and built confident, conversational delivery. Jennifer is strategic, kind, and candid. She blends content strategy with delivery coaching so you sound polished and still like yourself. The results let me advocate for our mission more effectively, rally support, and lead with credibility—without the anxiety spiral. I save time preparing, show up calmer, and deliver consistently across different formats. I’d recommend Jennifer to executives, nonprofit leaders, founders, and board members preparing for keynotes, fundraising events, media interviews, or high stakes internal meetings. Honestly, I just wish I’d started sooner!” Chair of internationally renowned art museum "I decided to overcome my fear of public speaking. I know this is a common fear but it has held me back and I finally decided to find help. Jennifer is a great coach: she is very personable and relatable, she breaks down the issues quickly, and she has solutions in hand that are simple and easy to use. During our first session, Jennifer taught me the 'power of three,' which I still use today. Using this powerful tool through role playing, I became more comfortable speaking in public. She has numerous breathing strategies before a presentation that are extremely helpful. She also helped me navigate working with difficult people and I really liked her strategies on how to respond to difficult situations. We had three sessions and I feel like I am a different person with more confidence. Presentations are still not something I love to do, but I definitely do not avoid it anymore. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs public speaking coaching or general coaching. She is amazing!" Vaneeta V., CFO   |   Venture Fund “With Jennifer, I’ve learned solid tools and techniques to better prepare and deliver a strong presentation. I have better awareness of my gaps, which makes me more conscious at the time of delivery. I now give more impactful presentations and I am more confident delivering messages for big audiences. Big thanks to Jennifer!” Lelia A., Sales Development Director | Adidas “I had never had formal coaching on public speaking, and I get uncomfortable before speaking in large groups, so I wanted tools to help me feel more confident. I gained skills both around how to organize and deliver content, as well as about how to manage feelings and nerves. Jennifer is totally approachable and supportive , and also incredibly helpful with actionable advice and guidance. She listens so well, and I never once felt like she gave me generic feedback--it was always very specific and something that I could start using right away ; and she did it with kindness and joy. The confidence I gained after my experience with Jennifer is extremely helpful to me as we re-enter the world of in-person presentations and public speaking. I can't recommend her highly enough. ” Arjun R., Head of Product | Fortune 500 company “I recently became CEO of our organization, after years in a more internal COO role. I know that external communication will be key to both my success professionally, and to our success as an organization.   Before coaching, I had anxiety around public speaking and was worried about my ability to engage and inspire an audience. Now I have an amazing toolkit to support my ongoing growth as a public speaker : frameworks for honing my message, exercises to reduce anxiety, and Jennifer's voice in my head sending reminders about eye contact, body language, and presence. While I'd recommend Jennifer to anyone, I would especially recommend her to introverts and people who think that the anxiety of public speaking can't be overcome. The fact that Jennifer was willing to share her own struggles with public speaking was particularly empowering for me.” Laura Boudreau | Nonprofit CEO “I highly endorse Jennifer as a highly qualified and seasoned coach to anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills. Before coaching, I tended to prepare at the last minute, resulting in a ‘fail to prepare, prepare to fail' scenario. I had trouble staying focused and relaxed during a presentation and slowing down the pace of my speech for the audience to digest my message. Now I use Jennifer's communication techniques to better control my anxiety and enhance my presentation skills. I enjoyed working with Jennifer and appreciate her advice and counsel. Her high energy and desire to help you are fantastic attributes for any coach. I'd recommend Jennifer to other professionals, young and seasoned, who need excellent coaching by a very motivated and experienced communications leader.” Business Executive “Prior to working with Jennifer, I was feeling paralyzed when I had to think on my feet. I was confident in my knowledge and ideas, but I worried that I wasn’t delivering them in a way that was clear, concise, or compelling—especially in high-pressure situations. Through our work together, I’ve developed practical tools and strategies that have helped me organize my thoughts, communicate more clearly, and respond more effectively in the moment. It’s not just about sounding polished — it’s about ensuring my message is heard, understood, and moves things forward. Developing these skills has helped me feel more confident and in control in situations that used to feel stressful or overwhelming. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who struggles with communicating clearly under pressure, organizing their thoughts, or delivering their message with confidence and impact. Whether it’s a leader looking to sharpen their executive presence, someone preparing for high-stakes conversations, or anyone who feels like their ideas aren’t landing the way they intend — Jennifer’s approach provides practical, thoughtful tools that make a real difference. ” Alexandra H. | Director of Nursing, Private Practice “Before coaching, I was worried about executive presence and presenting skills because as my role grows, I am expected to present at a higher level. I would recommend Jennifer to any colleagues and friends in a similar position. Jennifer has allowed me to practice in a safe space and make mistakes that I have been able to learn from. Coaching has allowed me to have the confidence to feel prepared and that what I'm presenting is clear and concise.

When they see me in front of the room, leading groups with enthusiasm and ease, they can't fathom who I was a decade ago. Back then, I was a public speaking instructor at San Jose State University and the irony is: I was completely terrified about standing up in front of my students. I'm talking barf-before-presenting  level of anxiety. And I'm-pretty-sure-my-heart-is-pounding-so-hard-it-might-actually-explode  level of anxiety. It was awful. I felt like a fraud. I also felt pissed off. Because I knew I was smart and had great things to say. In my mind, I could see myself as I wanted to be, but in real life, my paralyzing anxiety kept me tangled in nervous knots.   All that is to say: When it comes to speech anxiety, I really get it. And I can tell you for an absolute fact that public speaking is a skill that can be learned.  It is. Truly.  I have master's degrees in Education and Communication Studies from Stanford University and San Jose State University. Over the years, I've developed exercises and strategies that have helped me and thousands of my clients understand how to manage our stress levels when the spotlight is on. I've also worked with executives—individually and in groups—at every level of their public speaking journey and have witnessed tremendous success overcoming anxiety as intense as mine.     I can help you change your deeply ingrained habits, fears, and patterns of inner dialogue. If you're willing to put in the time and energy, you can become the leader you envision in your mind. The one who stands up and speaks up with ease and confidence.
