OUR CLIENTS
Who We Work With Online
We work virtually with adults across the United States who rely on communication to do their jobs well, but don’t always feel like “natural” communicators. This work is for you when you care about how you show up in meetings, presentations, interviews, networking events, or difficult conversations.
Mid-career professionals preparing for promotions or new leadership roles
Client-facing professionals (law, consulting, healthcare, tech, finance, nonprofit) who want to sound clearer and more credible
Neurodivergent professionals (including ADHD) who need tools that work with their brains, not against them
High-performing individuals who are tired of overthinking every email, meeting, or presentation
Managers and leaders who want to communicate expectations, feedback, and boundaries more effectively.
Not sure where you fit?
COMMITMENT
What We Can Improve Together
Virtual workplace communication coaching is flexible, and every plan targets specific goals. Here are the areas I help clients with most often:
Speaking up in meetings without rambling
Presenting to leadership or clients with more confidence
Preparing for job interviews and networking conversations
Managing public speaking anxiety and performance pressure
Organizing thoughts so your message is clear and concise
Reducing “overexplaining,” interruptions, or fast talking
Navigating difficult conversations at work (boundaries, feedback, conflict)
Improving clarity and presence as a neurodivergent professional (ADHD, etc.)
Building a calm, grounded executive presence (how others judge your leadership readiness from how you communicate and carry yourself) over time
Does Speak Like a Professional offer virtual coaching for interviews and networking?
Yes. Speak Like a Professional offers virtual communication coaching for job interviews and networking, led by Sydney Parriott, a licensed speech-language pathologist. Each 60-minute video session works on the interviews and networking conversations on your calendar, so your answers, introductions and stories come across clear, organized and confident before the real meeting starts.
Coaching follows The Resonant Communication Method™ and starts with a $175 evaluation that records your baseline. Packages start at $135 per hour, most clients complete 7 to 10 sessions, and your speaking is re-tested halfway through and again at the end. A one-time Communication Analysis of a recorded mock interview is another option.
For group practice, the open enrollment workshops are live 90-minute virtual sessions that cover interviews and networking along with meetings and presentations.
YOUR COMMUNICATION ANALYSIS
How Virtual Communication Coaching Works
Virtual communication coaching works by meeting online (usually via video) on a regular schedule to work on real communication situations from your life using structured tools, practice, and feedback.
01
Free Discovery Call
Book your free discovery call; there is nothing to pay. You tell me your goals, your context and what you are most concerned about, and together we decide which option fits you.
02
Personalized Plan
Based on what you share, we decide on a structure that fits your bandwidth, such as a 5-, 10-, 15-, or 20-session coaching package, or a one-time Communication Analysis if you prefer a focused, lower-commitment option.
03
Virtual Session or Communication Analysis
For 1:1 coaching, we meet online at regular intervals and work on your actual communication scenarios: upcoming meetings, presentations, difficult conversations, or patterns that keep showing up. For Communication Analyses, you send a recording and receive a detailed, written breakdown and recommendations.
04
Practice, Tools, & Feedback
After each session or analysis, you leave with specific tools, scripts, and experiments to try in your real life, not generic “just be confident” advice. We review what worked, adjust what didn’t, and track your progress over time.
05
Ongoing Refinement
As you grow, we refine your goals and support—whether that means wrapping up after your main goals are met or continuing with periodic check-ins, higher-level skill building, or pairing coaching with my Communicate to Advance Comprehensive Workbook for extra practice.
OUR EXPERTISE
Why Work With a Communication Coach Who’s Also an SLP?
A virtual communication coach who is also a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) gives you professional coaching plus clinical insight into how your brain, voice and communication work. At Speak Like a Professional, that coach is Sydney Parriott. She holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), an M.A. in speech-language pathology and an MBA.
That clinical training goes deeper than surface-level speaking tips. It covers the mechanics of speech and voice, the impact of ADHD and anxiety on communication, and the social and cognitive factors that make workplace speaking so stressful for many people. Every strategy is grounded in that science and tailored to how you think, process, and show up at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Virtual communication coaching is just as effective as in-person coaching because I can see and hear exactly how you communicate in real time, review recordings, and work directly with the situations you face at work.

You need a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and access to email and a video platform like Zoom. I send a secure link for each session. Recordings for a Communication Analysis can come straight from your phone, and many clients start with standard Zoom calls.

Coaching starts with a $175 evaluation, a 60-minute session that records your baseline. Packages of 5, 10, 15 or 20 sessions start at $135 per hour, and the per-session rate drops as the package grows. Most clients complete 7 to 10 sessions. The discovery call is free.
-
Yes. Virtual sessions rehearse your actual presentations and Q&A, then work on structure, delivery (rate, pauses and tone) and calming your body’s stress response (nervous system regulation), so you feel calmer and sound more confident in front of real audiences. Many clients start with a recorded Communication Analysis, then practice live in 1:1 coaching.
