Work with Mia

How we can work together:

Voice coaching session focused on improving leadership communication.

✦ The Work

We start with you.

Not a formula. Not a predetermined process. Not my idea of who you should become.

I want to know what you're working on, of course. But I'm also curious about you. What matters to you? What are you trying to say? Where do you get stuck? What happens when all eyes are on you?

And then we get curious together.

I listen - not only to what you're saying, but to where you come alive. The story you almost passed over. The thing you said offhandedly that suddenly makes me stop and say, "Wait. Go back. What was that?"

We might talk. We might get on our feet. We might work with breath or voice. I may ask you to tell the story again without trying to make it good. We may try something that doesn't work at all - and learn something from that.

There isn't one way in.

Because what helps one person open up may make another person shut down. My job is to pay attention to the person in front of me and find our way in together.

I'm not looking for a more polished version of you.

I'm listening for you.

✦ Ways We Can Work Together

For a specific talk

A keynote.
A signature talk.
An experiential share.
Something that needs to be yours - not another version of what's already out there.

We don't necessarily start with structure.

We go wider first - what you've lived, what you know, what you've said before, what you may have left out or moved past.

From there, we discover what's actually worth saying.

Then we shape it into something that feels like you - and lands.

For how you lead and communicate

Sometimes it shows up in a talk.

But it's not just the talk.

It's how you're communicating with your team, how people respond to you, what happens when the stakes rise, and where things aren't working the way you want them to.

We look at that directly.

What are you doing?
How is it landing?
What's working?
What isn't?
What haven't we noticed yet?

And we experiment from there.

What clients notice once we start working together:

“We went well beyond the mechanics of voice and the theatrics of performance into what is much more fundamentally critical to being a great communicator.”
— Jason Ing, CMO at Typeface

“If you’re someone who’s used to operating at a high level but feel like something’s getting lost when you speak, Mia will help you bring more of your whole self into the room—clarity, heart, and all.”
— Michael Margolis, Founder & CEO of Storied Inc., #1 Narrative Advisor in Tech

If you’re reading this and recognizing yourself in it -
we should talk.

We’ll look at what you’re working on, what’s not landing,
and whether this work makes sense.
