Hi, I'm Careena

That’s where I come in. I help professionals turn nervous energy into confidence. Whether you’re leading meetings, pitching ideas, or stepping onto a stage, I’ll help you develop a presence that feels natural, authentic, and powerful.

Why This Coaching Works
Strengthen vocal delivery and regulate nerves.
Most speaking programs teach you what to say. I teach you how to embody confidence when you say it.
My coaching blends three core elements:
Corporate (Executive Presence & Leadership Skills):
Develop a commanding presence that earns respect.
Artistic (Performance & Storytelling):
Learn to engage and captivate like a true communicator.
Scientific (Speech-Language Techniques):

Completely. Every coaching journey begins with a deep dive into your strengths, challenges, and goals. From there, we build a personalized roadmap designed to help you overcome barriers, refine your style, and step into your most confident voice.
How customized is your approach?
If you need to prepare quickly for a keynote, high-stakes meeting, or major presentation, I offer accelerated coaching to help you refine your message, strengthen your delivery, and step onto the stage with confidence.
What if I have an urgent speaking engagement coming up?
Speaking confidence is built through consistent practice and expert guidance. My 1:1 coaching is available in 3- and 6-month packages, meeting biweekly for steady progress and lasting transformation. If you need immediate support for a high-stakes presentation, a VIP Day Intensive provides rapid, focused coaching to help you step up and own the moment.
How long does coaching take to see results?
Got Questions? I’ve got answers.
Most of my 1:1 coaching is virtual, giving you flexibility and convenience. If you’re in the NY Metro or Greater Boston area, we can meet in person once or twice during your coaching journey. For corporate workshops, I typically deliver sessions in person for maximum impact and interaction, but I also offer highly effective virtual workshops tailored for remote teams.
Can we work virtually, or do sessions need to be in person?
Absolutely. Speaking confidence isn’t just for the stage. My coaching strengthens your ability to think on your feet, command attention in meetings, communicate persuasively, and lead with presence; all of which are skills that elevate your professional impact far beyond formal presentations.
I'm not preparing for a specific presentation. Can coaching still help me?
Most speaking coaches focus on either technique or mindset, but I bring both. With a background in professional performance, voice training, and executive communication, I blend artistic skill, speech science, and leadership coaching to help you not just sound confident, but feel it.
What makes your approach different from other speaking coaches?
Both. A strong message is just as important as how you deliver it. We’ll refine your content structure, storytelling, and messaging clarity while also strengthening vocal presence, body language, and delivery techniques to ensure your words land with impact.
Do we work on content development or just delivery?
I provide real-time coaching and immediate feedback in every session. For in-person coaching, we’ll record your sessions so you can review and refine. For virtual sessions, we focus on live adjustments and actionable takeaways so you see results in real time.
Will my practice sessions be recorded? How do you provide feedback?
Yes. Speaking anxiety isn’t just about technique, it’s a physiological response to pressure. I specialize in proven anxiety management strategies that help you retrain your nervous system so confidence feels natural, not forced. Many clients who have tried other programs say this approach is what finally bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it when the stakes are high.
I experience extreme anxiety when speaking. Can you help?
Each session is a mix of practical exercises, real-time feedback, and personalized skill-building. We focus on your specific speaking challenges, and every session builds on the last so you gain progressive confidence and mastery.
What happens in a typical coaching session?
Your Voice Holds More Power Than You Realize.
You’re not looking for another script. You’re here because you’re ready to speak with confidence and make an impact. Let’s make that happen together.
