Speech coaching

The missed opportunity

Years ago, after a semester at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, I flew to a remote village called Bethel in search of some quick day labor.

A friend suggested that we rent out the local lodge and offer a seminar on fitness, health, and wellness. I said that people wouldn’t pay just to hear me talk. She responded, “Oh yes they will!”

I chickened out

Despite being a certified personal trainer and the president of my Toastmasters club, I didn’t know how to put the two skills together and create a workshop. I went back to Anchorage empty-handed, and three months later the money ran out. My dream of living in Alaska fizzled into a short-lived memory.

Now the happy ending

Almost 20 years after blowing a golden opportunity, I have made it my life’s mission to create a system to captivate, motivate, and educate an audience seeking guidance from the fitness industry.

What happens when you hire a coach?

Using the FIT system, we work together to put your words and ideas into a powerful message. We turn stories into lessons, and bring the characters in your story to life through descriptions and good dialogue. We incorporate the audience into your presentation, so that their participation matters as much as the material. If you follow these steps in the FIT system, will the audience remember you? Oh yes they will!

The Mission

FIT Presenter seeks to raise the professional reputation of the fitness industry through public speaking. Trainers are the best communicators, motivators, and the best listeners. It is time to add public speaking to the list of what we do better than everybody else. 

The World Class Speaking Coach certification course was created by Craig Valentine, the 1999 World Champion of Public Speaking (and my personal favorite speaker), along with guerilla marketing expert Mitch Meyerson. They only certify 25 coaches a year, and most operate in the corporate setting. This is the only service dedicated to teaching World Class speaking techniques to the fitness industry.
