In Person Coaching

Golly, what do I do?

At the highest level I help high-achieving pageant girls win their interviews.

At a more granular level the 3 COMPELLINGS: Compelling Vision, Compelling Communication, and a Compelling Plan.

Now, outside of all of this, I also provide a very select service to a very select group of clients

Basically along my own "Pageant Journey" I've had to grow and be flexible. . .I first started out thinking I would be the "Political Pageant Coach" but I quickly realized pageant contestants need much more than just political knowledge, and some pageant systems don't require political knowledge at all!

So I had to adapt. I realized that non-verbal communication skills were something that ALL pageant contestants needed (in addition to verbal, or word-based, communication). So, "Compelling Communication" became the basis of everything I taught, and I still think that Compelling Communication is the most important thing I teach to most pageant girls.

Compelling Communication is broken down into the three V's of communication: Visual Communication (how we use Visual elements like body language and facial expressions), Vocal Communication (how we use the sounds of our voice) and Verbal Communication (how we use words to communicate). It's hard to believe, but Visual Communication accounts for 55% of all communication. And Vocal Communication accounts for 38% of communication. Sooooo. . .93% of all communication comes from Visual and Vocal Communication--it has nothing to do with the words that we say!!! The best tip I could give you: find your favorite titleholder or your favorite leader (I love doing this with politicians) and find a video of her/him speaking. Hit the mute button and just watch how they use their body language, facial expressions, etc. Model them, and you'll be WELL on your way to communication mastery. It's hard to tell you just how powerful Compelling Communication has been for my clients. I've seen timid, flat communicators turn into compelling, captivating, exciting communicators in a matter of minutes (or in a matter of months, depending on how hard they worked). I go super in-depth into each of these all-important categories of communication in my "Pageant Interview Secrets" course, but I can tell you more about that later.
