Speaker Coaching

New in 2025!

I've been asked by many how to improve public speaking skills and how I was able to break into the speaking industry. And now, I'm telling you all of my secrets!

Why?

Becuase I think many people have a great story but don't know how to tell it. I also think that there are not enough diverse speakers on stage who have a different type of story.

Maybe you have a specific type of expertise or personal story that also deserves the spotlight but you have no idea where to start. Maybe you're interested in building a personal brand so that recruiters can differentiate you amongst a pool of applicants. Or maybe you'd like to use stages as a way to sell your own products or services. No matter what your end goal is, learning how to speak is a great skill in this AI-driven age.

Who is this for?

C-level executives wanting to improve both vertical and horizontal communication to ensure that objectives are aligned throughout their organization
Engineers and other technical professionals who need to communicate with those from nontechnical backgrounds, as well as people without technical knowledge who need to communicate with engineers and other tech professionals

Title: From Quiet Beginnings to Commanding Stages: Sharon Gai's Journey from Corporate Professional to Acclaimed Public Speaker

Session Overview:

In this inspiring keynote, Sharon Gai shares her transformative journey from a reserved corporate professional to an international keynote speaker. Asian Americans are frequently stereotyped as the "model minority," praised for their hard work and humility but often perceived as lacking assertiveness or leadership qualities. Research indicates that Asian Americans are underrepresented in leadership roles, with studies from the Harvard Business Review showing that they hold only 2% of executive positions in Fortune 500 companies despite being the fastest-growing racial group in the U.S. workforce.

Sharon overcame these challenges by speaking up, taking risks, and learning how to share her expertise confidently. She transformed her corporate experiences into actionable insights, which not only led to promotions but also brought her employers greater publicity, stronger customer relationships, and valuable networking opportunities. Now, you have the chance to listen to her framework for overcoming barriers and creating a powerful presence.

Key Takeaways:

Embracing Cultural Identity: Understand the challenges and advantages of cultural backgrounds that value humility, and learn how to harness these traits to enhance authenticity in public speaking.
Overcoming Barriers: Discover methods to confront and surmount internal and external obstacles that may hinder one's journey into public speaking.
Crafting Compelling Narratives: Learn the art of storytelling to create engaging and relatable content that resonates with diverse audiences.
Mastering Presentation Techniques: Acquire practical tips on voice modulation, body language, and audience engagement to deliver memorable presentations.
Building Confidence: Explore strategies to boost self-assurance and project authority, even when stepping outside one's comfort zone.

Format:

The session will include a blend of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and interactive components, encouraging participants to engage in discussions and practice techniques in real-time.

Duration:

Approximately 60 minutes, including a Q&A segment to address specific audience queries.

By attending this keynote, participants will be empowered to embrace their unique backgrounds and transform perceived limitations into strengths, ultimately becoming compelling and confident public speakers.
