HOW YOU TELL YOUR STORY, IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU SAY.
Public Speaking & Communications Coach for CEOs, Executives, and Thought Leaders
HI, I'M CHRISTINA HELENA
I am an executive public speaking coach, focused on speech, communications, and speechwriting, helping thought leaders like you tell their stories in a way that captures the audience's attention immediately.
Giving a speech is telling a story. And the art of storytelling is about structuring curiosity. Keeping the audience wondering "And then what happened?"
As an executive public speaking coach, I have trained executives, managers, and leaders at Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Apple, AIG, Laika, HP, Cloudflare, Porsche, plus more.
Over the last decade, I have collaborated on projects as a corporate trainer, speech and curriculum consultant, and public speaker for brands such as Porsche, AIG, Lexus, Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Scion, and Panasonic.
I am a storyteller. As a playwright, my solo show SCAR is currently in development for an off-Broadway production. Most recently my talk, My Scar is Sexy was featured by Goalcast receiving over 10 million views.
You can have a powerful story and message, but if it's not delivered in a captivating way, it can lose its power. A speech should take an audience on an emotional experience so they can feel their humanity through you.
THREE WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
I CAN COACH YOU ON YOUR SPEECH DELIVERY
We will focus on your stage or virtual presence, vocal modulation, body language, tone, message, storytelling, and audience engagement techniques. By identifying your speech patterns, non-verbal communication, and core messaging we will help you shift into a captivating speaker.
I CAN WRITE YOUR SPEECH
Through creative sessions, we identify your story, voice, and message. Through a lengthy interview process, we identify the outline, and then I develop a customized TEDx talk or speech for you.
I CAN COACH YOU TO WRITE YOUR SPEECH
We identify your story and message and clarify the speech outline. Then I develop a series of prompt questions to help you brainstorm and write your TEDx talk or speech.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOUR SPEECH NEEDS IS INTENTION.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"Working with Christina has been one of the highlights of my professional career. She is an oratory and storytelling expert with a gift for drawing out the highest potential of those she coaches.
Christina's work has elevated my public speaking to another level, and I highly recommend her to anyone who speaks publicly as a part of their work.
The importance of clearly communicating our messages to elevate others can't be overstated. Can't wait to do more projects with her in the future!"
"There are thousands of coaches out there, but none like Christina! I would like to think the universe connected me to this incredible woman for a reason. She is pure heart.
Her ability to connect with you as an individual and pull out of you all the parts that you want people to see, but you haven’t had the confidence or tools is absolutely amazing. She is just a natural coach, and that is not easy to find."
"Christina was incredible to work with. Her strong background in creating and delivering speeches made her an invaluable resource when collaborating with me to create mine.
She took the time to fully understand the messaging I was looking to deliver and was able to get my creative juices flowing with her strong process.
She made it easy for me to understand what a speech needs in order to make an impact. I cannot imagine a better person to work with when ideating, creating, and delivering my speech."
"Christina is hands down, the most amazing, centered, and fun person to work with. Her style is both personal and professional.
Every step of the way of our time together was intentional and met with such enthusiasm and authenticity.
I will work with Christina again on any of my speaking gigs and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a focused and top-notch coach."
"After I landed my TEDx I went through the "how the hell do I write and give a TedTalk" place.
Enter Christina. From our first conversation, I knew I was in the absolute best hands to move forward. Since then she has been understanding, directive, and has gone above and beyond to ensure that I am crafting the most amazing talk.
I am so grateful that I have Christina in my corner through the process. I can't recommend to you enough that if you want to give the most amazing talk you MUST hire Christina; she's truly next level."
"Christina just knows the pure art of storytelling. What to say, when to say it, and maybe most importantly, what NOT to say, in a way that makes what you DO say even more powerful.
She helped me understand myself and my audience on a deeper level that brought out a more engaging talk with the great overall structure and some stellar individual lines.
Christina is someone you want on your side, in your ear, throughout the presentation of your story. Lucky to be connected to this gem of a person and artist."
