our Services

Individual sessions

Our 1 on 1 private sessions are designed to help you meet your specific public speaking goals. Sessions target a variety of areas such as: body language and gestures, voice pitch, speech preparation techniques, anxiety management, effective delivery and more. During the first session of individual consulting, Shira provides each of her clients with a unique assessment inspired by the “role theory” of the drama therapy pioneer Robert Landy. She believes that this technique helps her to meet them where they’re at. According to Shira, who we are as individuals and who we are as presenters is very much interconnected and there are great psychological and social benefits to practicing flexibility in the various roles we take on in life. In the interest of improving public speaking skills, Shira finds it beneficial for clients to view their role as “the presenter role,” as this helps at creating a perceived distance enabling clients to get in and out of their role.

Life Coaching

Similar to our 1 on 1 sessions with a broader touch, our coaching sessions are built to help our clients unveil and set their life goals, and formulate a plan to achieve them across different domains. In these sessions Shira works with her clients on cultivating awareness and a deeper sense of self. Our technique’s focus is to understand the patterns that motivate us as individuals consciously or subconsciously. Once habits are better understood, we will discuss desired outcomes and we will craft an action plan, targeting areas of life each client wishes to improve.
