DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You’re smart, accomplished, and capable—yet when it’s time to speak, you:
- Freeze up or overthink your words.
- Ramble or lose track of your message.
- Feel nervous, rushed, or unsure of your delivery.
- Struggle to engage or hold your audience’s attention.
- Know your message matters, but it’s just not landing.
Many professionals face many of these common obstacles.
These issues can make you feel less confident, undermine your authority, and diminish your message. This matters because:
Your ability to speak with confidence, clarity, and credibility directly impacts how others see your leadership, your brand, and your potential.
Whether it’s delivering a presentation, leading a meeting, or making a pitch, these challenges keep you from making the impact you deserve.
But, you don't have to stay stuck.

QUICK SCOOP
Born to SPEAK
Dr. Hume Johnson’s passion for helping people find their voice comes from her own journey. Born with a short lingual frenulum and a tumor on her upper lip, she was unable to speaking clearly. But with her mother’s courage, a life-changing surgery, and months of speech therapy, she found her voice - ultimately using it to become a broadcast journalist, political speechwriter, and eventually a global speaker and professor of communication.
Today, as a leadership coach, she’s on a mission to help others break through their own barriers and speak with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
