There is no cookie-cutter, out of the box, step-by-step program. We customize your program to highlight your strengths, improve your weaknesses, and be purpose-driven to connect with your audience’s core interests. For every speaking engagement you are called to deliver, we will create a custom "AMP", which carefully considers your AUDIENCE and their goals first, your overall MESSAGE, and finally POSITIONING you as the expert.
Through careful consideration of your audience, we will align your talk with your audience’s core interests and goals, thus increasing the effectiveness of your persuasion attempts. We will set you up for success by grabbing the audience with a powerful opening and issuing a closing call-to-action that gets results.
To create a talk your audience will remember, we have got to be organized. We structure and outline your talk around a captivating main idea. We do this by balancing broad themes coupled with compelling details using stories backed by concrete examples and statistical data to reinforce your brand messages.
No matter if your presentation is virtual or in-person, you will be able to deliver your presentation with contagious energy, positioning yourself as the expert. We set you up for success by managing your public speaking anxiety, modeling best practices for gesture, posture, voice, and movement and through the creation of effective visual aids when necessary.
Whether you are a novice public speaker (or just a nervous one) or a career keynoter, 1:1 coaching will improve your presence, perception, and persuasiveness before audiences of all types.
Together we will overcome formidable center-stage obstacles like audience engagement, storytelling, body language, and, of course, stage fright.

I, John Zalepka...
... believe that everyone has a confident, powerful, and dynamic voice inside of them.
... am focused on helping corporate leaders find that voice and effectively communicate brand messages with authenticity.
... am determined to inspire and develop each client I work with to be the best possible presenter they can be.
... believe every great speech is focused around one main idea; has a killer opening, strong supporting stories, and a call to action.
... believe you are still “writing” your speech until you speak your first word.
... believe the only way to become a better speaker is with preparation and practice.
... believe that it's perfect practice that makes perfect.
... know that we cannot become the best version of ourselves, by ourselves.
The quality of our presentations since our workshops have exceeded my expectation. The feedback from our audiences has been incredible… Your specific advice for each presenter on my team was so varied, but spot on for that person.
Very impactful training. My speech was a success! With your help, I was able to get my audience engaged, laughing, and on their feet for a standing ovation! Most importantly, I was able to share my stories naturally... it was authentic... it was me.
I now know easy secrets that make presentations come together. John and I sharpened my keynote message, added touches to better hold attention, and worked on my delivery. Everyone wanted to talk to me afterward; the best was a industry executive who told me my speech made him “proud to be in this field".
I had no idea how much having a coach could make such a difference!… Your MAP strategy for breaking down the sections of my speech gave me such confidence to do the same thing each and every time I speak.
Within a few weeks these our sales team were visibly improving their communication and presentation skills. They were able to apply the enhanced skills to actual client situations immediately. Their skills were noticed by the company CEO during a subsequent client presentation who should also be your client soon.
Until I hired John as a speech coach, I had no idea how much more effective my presentation skills could become. Our work together with how to prepare and what exactly to practice has absolutely paid off.
When creative ideas for my presentations are needed, John is the person I turn to for the results I want. He is trustworthy, reliable and passionate about serving others. I highly recommend John for all of your branding needs.
John never ceases to amaze me with his creativity! His artistic talents coupled with his entrepreneurial skills and strong business ethics is a tremendous combination. I cannot say enough great things about John!
