Who we are

Speak Like a Professional, LLC is a communication coaching practice founded by a licensed speech-language pathologist with an MBA in education and a nationally ranked background in public speaking. We are not general life coaches—we are credentialed clinical professionals who bring a research-backed, emotionally intelligent approach to professional communication.

Whether working with individuals, executives, or entire teams, our mission is to empower people to speak with clarity, confidence, and cultural insight. Every session is rooted in both clinical expertise and real-world leadership experience. We understand the neuroscience behind communication—but we also know how it feels to freeze in a meeting, to feel misunderstood, or to second-guess your voice in high-stakes situations.

Based in the Kansas City metro area, Speak Like a Professional offers 1-on-1 communication coaching, group workshops, and company retainers both virtually and in person, depending on location. Clients across the country trust us when searching for the best communication coach near me—and we’re proud to deliver meaningful, measurable results.

Let’s work together to move you from anxious to articulate, from hesitant to heard.
