Amanda Hennessey - Public Speaking Coach & Author

I love to empower people and transform the way they approach and experience public speaking. I do all I can to help folks have much more fun and ease, rather than torment and sleepless nights! I really want people to be seen and heard and make the impact they can uniquely make.I am the founder of San Diego Public Speaking, Boston Public Speaking.I have coached a wide variety of folks - scientists, entrepreneurs, executives, activists, lawyers, doctors, students, brides, grooms, artists, a mountain climber, and even a top dog trainer. A number of my clients have appeared on Dr. Oz, The Today Show, and a few can be seen regularly on America's Test Kitchen.I've led workshops for  organizations including Massachusetts General Hospital, Outfront Media, Petco, MIT, CoreLogic, The New England Aquarium and many other companies and non-profits.I'm also a co-founder and teacher atBoston Acting Classes. My  husband, Art, and I run this together and have a blast. I have an MFA in Acting and have performed in films, plays, and commercials.And I've had stage fright, so I get it!I wroteI wroteYour Guide to Public Speaking - Build Your Confidence, Find Your Voice, Inspire Your Audienceso I could share all I’ve learned so far as a coach and performer. You can grab a copy where books are sold - including Amazon and Barnes and Noble.I'm also the host of the BUILDING CONFIDENCE podcast. What is confidence? How do we develop it? How do we regain it after a setback or traumatic events? I interview a variety of guests including a woman who climbed Everest, a young single mom who started her own business, and an angel investor who flies helicopters. During each conversation I dig deep into this juicy topic of empowerment.
