“ Adria is a chameleon and a great sparring partner when it comes to role playing discovery calls, pitching, or handling rejections. After just a few lessons I started to get more comfortable presenting and could stay calm under pressure, and trust myself and what I know and direct and lead the conversation with a prospective client.”

I’m not here to coddle you or give you cookie-cutter advice.

I’m here to help you cut through the noise, get you out of your own way, and help you speak like someone who actually means what you say.

You’ll get honest, strategic feedback, mindset shifts that stick, and practical tools that meet you where you are — and push you past where you thought you could go.

I’ll challenge you. I’ll champion you.

And I’ll help you show up with more presence, more purpose, and a heck of a lot more power.

FAQ’s

  • Classes are interactive and practice-based. You’ll work on real-world scenarios: presenting your ideas, pitching, handling questions, or speaking on the spot. I share practical tools you can use immediately, but the focus is on you getting up and doing it rather than listening to me talk. You can bring something in (a speech, a pitch, or even just a desired outcome) and we’ll work through it until you feel comfortable and like you’ve conquered this enough to try it out in the real world.

  • Small! I cap my groups at up to 6 students so everyone gets individual coaching and feedback. You’ll learn a lot by watching others work too!

  • Yes, that’s the point. Everyone works every week. I make sure each student gets specific, actionable feedback so you’re not just watching, but also growing. At times, we go over the two hours so I can make sure I cover everyone’s needs and questions, and so everyone can keep moving forward.

  • I record every class and make it available to you within 2 days (usually within an hour or two). If you know you can’t make it to a session, you can record your work or even yourself asking questions or talking about a block or problem you’re facing right now. I will play back your tape in class and respond to your work and give you notes to move forward with. Then when you can, log in and watch the tape back. So it’s like you didn’t even miss!.
