You’ve got something coming up — let’s make sure you’re ready

Whether it's a talk, a presentation, or a performance, you've got something on the calendar and want to walk in prepared, grounded and fully yourself.

UPCOMING TALKS & PRESENTATIONS

I'm Dhana, a speaking, facilitation and performance coach rooted in theatre, education and human connection.

Wherever you're starting from — you're welcome here.

Let’s build something great together

Almost everyone who comes to me is carrying some version of the same things. If you've got something upcoming, you might recognize a few of these:

You didn't know something like this existed — you knew about public speaking coaches, but not someone who works this specifically on crafting a presentation, start to finish.

There's a date looming, and you're not sure where to start.

You’re great at talking, but need other ways to engage your audience and bring them in.

You're nervous, and you want real help preparing and practicing — not just being told to relax.

You want a structure that's easy to follow, for you and your audience. And something you can confidently use again and again.

You need help cutting your content down to what actually matters.

And more than anything, you want someone to understand what you're trying to do — and who you are — and guide you there with support, and some joy along the way.

“Even with a lot of public speaking experience behind me, Dhana's coaching helped me think differently about how I was showing up and communicating.

She walked me through what the audience might be experiencing, introduced the idea of arcs, and helped me rework parts of my slides in ways that made a real difference.”

Inside the Sessions

Coaching with me is collaborative and tailored. I meet you where you are and build from there — drawing on tools from theatre, education, performance, and communication to find the combination that creates real breakthroughs for you.

Sessions are practical and hands-on. We might work on:

— Building a clear structure, from a blank page to a fully formed arc
— Editing your content down to what actually matters
— Understanding your audience, and finding ways to engage them
— Infusing personal stories that resonate with your listeners
— Practicing key parts of what you're preparing to deliver
— Incorporating visuals, props or support materials
— Breathing and vocal exercises, to help you prepare and calm nerves
— Creating a plan with actionable steps to keep you accountable

Before each session I review your intake and prepare specifically for you, your material and your goals, so we can use our time together as effectively as possible.

Beyond our sessions: I may give you homework to practice, rehearse and refine. Growth happens not just during our time together but in how you apply what you're learning.

I work online via Zoom, or in-person in Edmonton, Alberta by prior arrangement.

    I have absolutely loved working with Dhana.

    I was given - from our first encounter - actionable things to work on. It helped me get out of my head and into my body. Now I feel relaxed on stage and able to be present (where the magic happens!).
