Personal Coaching Program
This program gives you a personalized blueprint, with detailed adjustments, to consistently come across on top of your game. You’ll use these skills for a lifetime.
My personal coaching program is over the course of 2 private sessions and 2 practice sessions, and gives you the background to fully take advantage of the buy-in of your customers and colleagues, and move forward in your business because you nail those 5 elements.
We’ll focus on how you come across, how your words land, what your presence conveys, and give you the ability to phrase thoughtful answers to questions inside someone else’s attention span.
- 2 Private Coaching Sessions: We meet twice, each time for an hour, in-person or via Zoom, for a private, one-to-one adjustment session. During these sessions, I break down every element of your voice, presence, and online image. And we assemble techniques to adjust for quirky speaking habits, public speaking nerves, intonation crackles, accents, pacing issues, interview nerves, less-than fully confident voices, and more.
- 2 Group Practice Sessions, with in-the-moment, live feedback: We meet two more times at Monthly Practice Sessions. Here you practice what you’ve learned, and I give in-the-moment, straightforward feedback. Our goal is to ensure that you’re comfortable using speaking & presence adjustments in real situations. This is a safe-zone in which I lead you to nail your elevator pitch, interview skills, podcast presence, and speaking skills on & off the job. If you feel uncomfortable speaking in any way, this has got to be the best way to learn it. Join us, the second Friday of each month, via Zoom, from 12noon to 1pm ET. I’ll give you the link.
This private program brings an amazing increase in your effectiveness, because you consistently convey so much more competence and engagement. You will be seen as being totally on your A-game. What you learn can be tailored for on-camera, on-stage, on-mic, in-person, at networking functions, and more.

‘Speaking Adjustments’ Coaching
How you say words is 5X more influential than which words you say! So if you aren’t trained as an effective speaker, then you are missing out. Because speaking effectively brings more influence, presence, credibility, and “yeses”. In other words, if people say “no” to you, it’s 5X more likely it’s because of how you spoke rather than which words you said. Your voice is the most direct connection you have with your customers, colleagues, and audience.
You have 2 goals:
- Make sure you come across as qualified as you are.
- Make sure you get more “Yeses”.
To do this, my team and I:
- Analyze the way you speak, consider your word phrasing, and focus on your word choice.
- Give in-the-moment direct, detailed feedback targeted on those 3 speaking elements.
- Train you with bite-sized, easy-to-implement adjustments that target each element.
For example, we discuss: 21 speaking techniques (2 boost how confidently you come across, 3 win debates, 2 mask nerves, 4 grab “yeses”). 5 lists (7 things not to do when beginning communication to a group, 3 to do, etc.). Body language (hands, body positioning, clothing vs your background, etc.). Adapting to various platforms (on-camera, on-mic, on-stage, online, in-person). And more.
My team and I do this every day.

Lighting & Sound Setup
Move over, professional headshot and LinkedIn avatar… CUSTOMERS SPEND MORE TIME looking at you on Zoom and other videoconference platforms. Yet 98% of people are unaware of how poorly they come through their mic and camera. IT’S TIME TO FIND OUT. And time to learn how to make sure you always convey attention to detail and that you’re on top of your game.
Let’s be real… With poor lighting and sound, you come across like a low-budget TV ad. Meaning you convey less potential to anyone watching you… Your credibility takes a toll. Studies show this happens within a fraction of a second… even before you open your mouth!
So we:
- Set up proper lighting and webcam/camera like a professional headshot photographer would do, from where you join online meetings. We’ll also purchase lights and a webcam/camera for you based on the dimensions of your office. When you look good, your professional image is strengthened.
- Set up proper sound gear (microphone selection, office acoustics), so you sound good. Poor sound quality immediately turns off listeners. When you sound good, your professional image is strengthened.
FUN STORY: You’ll be surprised at what I uncover about how you come across. It’s like walking around all day in the grocery store, at work, on zoom,… all the while never knowing you have broccoli sticking out from your teeth:( Then I come along and point it out. See? I make sure you know how to adjust your A/V so you come across all fabulous, showing attention to details, conveying competence, as you should:) Uh, just floss first!
We’re uniquely qualified to provide these services. And we offer this service via Zoom and in-person | Email: David@EdgeStudio.com

Let’s be real!
You scrutinize over your company headshot, logo, and website text because they represent your business.
Well, your voice, appearance, lighting, and sound quality represent you! So we spend (on average):
- 70% = Coaching the way you speak, so you can better influence, convey greater credibility, and improve your effectiveness.
- 10% = Assessing and enhancing your lighting setup for optimal visual impact.
- 10% = Fine-tuning your audio quality to ensure clear and professional sound.
- 10% = Refining your visual appearance across various media platforms.
You’ve got to learn skills like:
- The subtle speaking shift that wins over your audience.
- The quick change to your computer microphone that engages more listeners.
- The 7 traits that win audience smiles, and the 7 that turn them off.
- And 21 other quick adjustments that immediately boost your professional image.
David and his team don’t lead any run-of-the-mill coaching with vague goals like “Engage your audience.” Instead, we’re super-detailed. We spot the critical elements that hold you back — elements your colleagues won’t be able to point a finger at, and we show you how to fix them.
It’s a game-changing approach other coaches don’t offer. We make sure you—and your team—come across real well.

Case Study – Assessment
A corporate presenter felt she did fine. “No one says anything bad about my speaking.” We reviewed her presentations and offered 3 ‘voice adjustments’. A later email included, “OMG, that was the best thing! I had no idea what I was doing wrong and how the fixes made a big difference!”
Another email said, “I’m winning twice as much now!” My team and I give ‘voice adjustments’ like this every day!
