To Shine You Must Do More than Show Up!

When it comes to communication, Catherine Johns wrote the book. And did the radio show. And gave the talk. Catherine’s audience benefits from her years of experience on the stage and in the studio. 

What do you say about yourself, your work, and the value you offer? And how are you perceived while you say it?

She offers a practical path to making a stronger impression when you speak in a meeting, on a conference call, at a rally or anywhere else. A catalyst for compelling communication, Catherine can show you how to create more impact and achieve greater success. 

Even in a short interview, Catherine demonstrates the skills she teaches. She has practiced long and hard at connecting with the audience, being clear and concise and knowing how to manage the unexpected. As you listen, notice the power and impact of the pause. Catherine wants to be sure she is clear on the question before answering and that she leaves space for us to process. And the answers are clear, crisp, concise and on point. The encouragement for us is that these are learnable skills. Not easy, but learnable. With Catherine, it appears easy because she has had years of practice – over 25 years in radio and more as a platform speaker, consultant, and coach.
