Hi, I'm Dina.

Dina Schmid Public Speaking Coach and Etiquette Instructor

If you're frustrated by your inability to communicate confidently at work, I'm here to help.

Getting nervous before speaking to an audience is common - even if it's not presenting to a large group.

Sometimes those nerves also get in the way of speaking up in team meetings, handling tough conversations, or even delivering key updates, communication skills are important to success.

Even if public speaking doesn't come easily to you or you're an introvert you CAN be a good public speaker.

At Presenting Confidence LLC, I'll help you build the skills and get the practice you need so you can communicate effectively, even if you have severe anxiety about public speaking.

From CEOs to recent graduates, I've empowered professionals to excel—whether speaking to large audiences or in smaller, day-to-day interactions.

FAQ

Can you work with me to overcome severe presentation anxiety?

I have helped many clients overcome severe presentation anxiety, including some that have experienced panic attacks. It’s important to recognize that there is no “magic bullet” that will eliminate all nerves and that it will take time. In my experience it can take 6-12 weeks with one one-hour lesson per week to be able to control your nerves and begin feeling confident.

What if I don't give big presentations? Can I get help to improve impromptu speaking?

I have a lot of exercises to help you develop the ability to “speak as you think” – and do it clearly without blanking out. I have a lot of success in this area and would love to work with you if this is what you need.

Can we practice with my presentation materials?

Yes! I can help you prepare and practice a specific presentation you are giving. I have signed NDAs in the past and am willing to sign one for you if the materials you are presenting contain proprietary information.

Do you work with children?

I will work with children under special circumstances when there is a specific goal that they are working to achieve. For high school students this may be preparing for a graduation speech, or preparation for a job, scholarship or college admissions interview. I will also work with 8th graders to prepare for competitive high school admissions interviews. If you are a parent who just wants to find someone to help improve your child’s communication skills in general, then I would not be a good fit.

Why do I need to contact you before buying a package of lessons?

I want to make sure that we’re a good fit to work together. A big part of that is making sure I have availability for you, especially if you need a short deadline. While it is rare, I may also turn down a student with unrealistic expectations, such as expecting to overcome panic attacks in one lesson or if the student is wanting to gain skills for something that is illegal or ges (such as conning people out of money).
