A little about me: I am a communication consultant and speaking coach who started out as a painfully shy child.
As a recovering shy person, I understand firsthand the challenges that lacking confidence can present when communicating.
This led me on a lifelong journey to gain that confidence first for myself and then to help others do the same. I began my 20+ year career as a speech-language pathologist which is where helping people communicate clearly became the focus of my work.
Now, I help speakers, executives, and entrepreneurs learn to speak with confidence, clarity, and charisma. How? First, I teach you to work with your body’s natural design to manage your energy, so you feel calm and in control when you communicate, allowing you to be fully present in your interactions. Then, I show you simple techniques to use your voice more effectively so you sound like the expert you are.

Testimonials
“Kathryn Woods’ voice training is pure gold! The work I did with Kathryn to prep my voice for an upcoming video series is invaluable. After forever believing there was no hope for my cringe-and-bear-it recorded voice, Kathryn’s tools and techniques created subtle changes to the sound of my voice making a bigger impact on how I use my voice in business for more effective phone calls with prospects, more confident networking, and less stressful video recording. Thank you for doing what you do, Kathryn!”
“A large part of my position involves unscripted speaking to groups of people at all levels of the company. I quickly discovered that, like many others, I could not do that comfortably. When I reached out to Kathryn in 2016, I believed my voice was the problem. I was insecure about the way I sounded when I spoke.
Kathryn helped me understand that confidence was my real issue. As my confidence in my voice grew, we transitioned to techniques to support my voice. Those techniques allow me to present material, train people, and lead discussions for hours without damaging or losing the quality of my voice.
The time and effort I invested in myself, with Kathryn as my coach, has been and continues to be a key part of my success. Thank you, Kathryn, for your patience and guidance!”
Kathryn is a whiz at helping speakers control their voice and breath while on stage. In just a few short minutes, Kathryn taught me how to manage a trauma-related medical condition that affected my voice when I spoke. Her breathing and voice exercises have definitely helped me to communicate more confidently! Whether speaking on stage or in a boardroom, Kathryn can help you show up as your best self! Thank you, Kathryn!
“She put together this amazing program, and y’all, at the end of my keynote presentation, I received a standing ovation. And yes, I think I had a role in that, and the content was great, but it was Kathryn who helped me hone it so beautifully that that made that happen!”
