The Talk

Jessica Dumas, a professional speaker and executive speaker trainer, shares the skills that transform her best clients the most. She works with leaders, professionals, and organizations who want to speak with more confidence, clarity, and impact. Growing up shy and struggling with low self-esteem, Jessica said yes to many opportunities to step on stage, even though confidence did not come to her naturally. As a certified life coach, she committed to improving herself because there was no ‘speaker coach’ available to guide her, and she grew tired of hearing, “You’re doing great,” without receiving real insight on how to get better. Eventually, after speaking to an audience of 450 people, one attendee came straight up to her and said, “I want you to show me how to do what you just did.” Now, she does. In this session, Jessica will show you the 3 hot moves that will help you get the attention of any stage.
