Coaching
Public Speaking Coach
Andrea Merrill is a keynote writer, speech writer, and public speaking coach who works with leaders one story at a time. Not filler exercises. Not a course you never finish. We mine the moment, write the keynote, and get you ready for the room that matters.
What working with a public speaking coach changes
$4,000
Dr. Brenda Combs went through this work and was chosen for a paid keynote at $4,000 — selected for the keynote slot specifically, rather than a breakout.
$16,800
Raised in the room for the eWomen Network Foundation with one talk.
Who this coaching is for
- Founders and executives with a real story and no time to shape it.
- Consultants and coaches who want the keynote slot, not the breakout room.
- Nonprofit and mission leaders who need the room to move, not just nod.
- Speakers who deliver well but keep leaving the point on the table.
How the coaching works
01
Story mining
A 1:1 intensive where we find the moment your talk is actually about — the one you keep skipping past.
02
Build the speech
Structure, turns, and language written for the room you are walking into, not a generic template.
03
Rehearse and refine
Delivery coaching on pacing, pauses, and the lines that have to land word for word.
04
On call for the moment
Speaker 911 keeps a coach in your corner for the pitch, the panel, and the last-minute rewrite.
Two ways to start
