Are you ready to claim your stage, radiate confidence & charisma, and grow your organization, business, or career?

Hi - I’m Adriana.

As a speaking coach, I use my background as a professional theater director to help people connect with their audience and speak with clarity, confidence & charisma in order to inspire their communities, increase their impact, and grow their careers. With practical and actionable tools, my clients improve quickly and permanently.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked and lectured at dozens of regional theaters, colleges, and universities nationwide. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College and a Masters of Fine Arts in Directing from Columbia University.

Do you want to become a skilled, confident, and highly effective public speaker? Taking a holistic view of you and where you are in your specific journey, I work with you 1:1 and also give you a curated set of lessons and resources you can do on your own time to help you nail your fundraising speech or keynote.

Want to work with me one-on-one? Here are your three options:

Star Power Signature

This is for you if: you want to improve your speaking overall or you have a speech or presentation coming up and have a runway of at least 4 weeks.

  • $4,000

    • 8 sessions of 1:1 coaching.*

    • 3 months of on-call text and audio support.

    • Editing of scripts, speaking outlines, and presentation visuals.

Polished Presenter VIP Day

This is for you if: you have a presentation or speech coming up soon, or you want to polish your keynote or signature talk. This is a good match for speakers who already know their topics and have basic scripts or outlines.

  • $1,800

    • You have a speech coming up and it needs to rock. Let’s get it done and dusted.

    • Includes a 1:1 prep session a week before.

    • In advance of our day together, I read over your script or outline, look at slides and visual collateral, and review recordings of past presentations (if available) to get familiar with your style.

    • Based on your needs and priorities, the day can include a deep dive into additional elements like wardrobe, visual design of your online recording space, rehearsal of a work presentation or pitch, mindset tools to practice before “hard conversations,” etc.

    Plus, $1,000 in additional Bonus Content:

    • Free access to my entire online training collection of searchable lessons, audio recordings, video tutorials, and courses like How to Be a Successful Podcast Guest and Create Your Personalized Public Speaking Warm Up.

  • Our VIP Day can be done in person or virtually. We are together for a total of 5 hours which includes breaks. To make the most of our time together, we have a 1:1 prep call and I review materials in advance.

Confidence Curator - Bespoke Program

This is for you if: your needs don’t quite fit the other two offers, but you’re ready to make speaking work for you. Based on your particular needs and budget, I can create a unique program tailored to you.

Our next step is a conversation to answer all your questions and to make sure we’re a good match.
