Biography

When Jean Hamilton founded Speaking Results in 1998, it was the natural next step in her career. Early on, she worked as a performer and artist in dance and theater, with various professional companies that toured extensively in the U.S. and Pacific Rim. After this successful career, Jean pursued a new direction studying coaching and public speaking.

She was soon fascinated by how combining the disciplines of coaching, public speaking, theater and improvisation, she could enable her clients to present in a way that was both accomplished and authentic. People felt safe taking risks with Jean, allowing themselves to overcome fears, and stretch their range to become more dynamic and compelling speakers.

How We Work

Speaking Results' 3-Step Approach is structured to improve your communication skills, yet flexible enough to suit your individual needs.

1. Start from the Inside Out

Your attitude and confidence level have an enormous impact on the success of your communication skills. We work to let go of limiting beliefs and fears that hold you back. Our internal work provides simple tools for making big changes. In coaching, we listen carefully and teach you new skills that lead to increased clarity and improved results. This work helps overcome anxiety, increase self-esteem, and relieve stress.

2. Develop Your Own Material

The best presentations are filled with the unique qualities of the presenter. We encourage you to bring your whole self to your presentations-your humor, your personality, and your history. We help you develop your stories and effectively weave them into your message. By using this method, more of “who you are” emerges through your distinct style. As you own your material, it gains authenticity and credibility.

3. Work on Your External Skills

We teach you the skills necessary to communicate with finesse. Besides speech training, Jean’s background in theater, dance and improv gives her the ability to help you improve your voice and enhance your body language so that your audience can absorb your message.

Finally, we encourage the use of video as a tool to let you see for yourself how well you are doing, and where you can improve. With coaching, we offer supportive feedback and identify areas of growth, then create a plan for you to accomplish your desired goals.

Our Coaching packages may also include:

* Physical, verbal and vocal exercises to strengthen and develop your presentation “instrument.”

* Questions and templates to help you uncover your own stories and explore how you can weave them into your speech.

* Exercises, visualization, and relaxation techniques to work on clarity, calmness, and confidence.

Whether you are a new presenter, or want to polish your skills, our coaching allows you to discover and unleash your highest potential!
