Liz W.

I am an accomplished public speaker, emcee, host & former television journalist. I have experience and expertise working in communications, public relations and journalism spanning a 20+ year career. I started my career working as a political press secretary on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and have worked for a global public relations firm, as a journalist for several television stations in North & South Carolina (ABC, NBC and FOX), in corporate communications for the luxury automotive company Mercedes-Benz USA, as a principal of my own public relations consulting business in the New York Metro area, and currently as director of communications for a well-known nonprofit in the NYC metro area. I am passionate about helping people overcome their fears with public speaking and media interviews, as well as work on techniques such as delivery, pacing, diction and polishing one’s final presentation. For media interviews, I conduct mock interviews and prepare you for any type of media interview: taped, live, online, in person for TV, print, radio & podcasts. I have conducted speech and media coaching sessions 1:1 and in group settings with C-suite executives, physicians, college and graduate students, and those just entering the workforce, as well as non-native English speakers. I am personable, accessible & easy to work with and can offer decades of professional experience whether it’s on camera or before a large audience. Happy to chat first on a call!
