    From Sales in NYC to Stages Around the World—My Journey to Coaching I’ve lived many lives—starting in the high-pressure sales world in NYC at Yelp, teaching in Vietnam, stepping onto Bollywood sets as an actor, and eventually finding my true calling: helping people break through fear and build unstoppable confidence. But my journey wasn’t a straight path. It took a wake-up call—a serious health issue—to force me to stop and reevaluate everything. I realized I had been chasing success without prioritizing my well-being or true fulfillment. That moment changed everything. I embraced a growth mindset, leaned into discomfort, and adopted the improv principle of "Yes, and"—saying yes to new opportunities and figuring things out along the way. That mindset led me to incredible experiences—facilitating over 500 online workshops and more than 100 in-person sessions, leading team-building workshops for companies like Twitter and Amazon, and teaching improv in Vietnam and India for two years to help people develop confidence, spontaneity, and resilience. How I Can Help You I now use my diverse background in mindset coaching, anthropology, and performance to help individuals and teams: ✔ Gain Clarity – Define your vision, uncover what’s holding you back, and set a clear path forward. ✔ Overcome Fear & Self-Doubt – Rewire your mindset to take action with confidence. ✔ Break Down Big Goals Into Actionable Steps – No more overthinking—just a clear, step-by-step game plan. ✔ Build Confidence That Lasts – Whether it’s speaking up, showing up, or stepping into a bigger role, I’ll help you develop the kind of confidence that sticks. ✔ Improve Communication & Leadership Skills – Using techniques from acting, improv, and public speaking, I’ll help you communicate more effectively in work and life. About Me I’m Brian Nathan, an internationally accredited Mindset and Confidence Coach, TEDx organizer, and workshop facilitator. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, I blend cultural insights and human behavior with cutting-edge coaching techniques to help people transform their lives. I’ve organized growth-focused events in the U.S., Vietnam, India, and Bali, created spaces for meaningful discussions, and hosted the podcast "On the Way" on Spotify. My goal? To empower individuals and teams to take action, unlock their full potential, and live a life of purpose and confidence. Ready to Break Through? Whether you're an individual looking to gain clarity and confidence or a team seeking stronger communication and leadership skills, let's talk. Shoot me a message, and let’s make it happen. Client Success Stories: "Brian has propelled me towards realizing my fullest potential. Each session leaves me brimming with positivity and new insights that fuel my week. Brian’s ongoing support and his vibrant energy underscore his commitment—if you aim to reach your peak potential, Brian is your ideal coach." "I approached Brian feeling stuck, needing a fresh perspective on an obstacle. He not only shifted my mindset but also laid out all the necessary action steps that had previously overwhelmed me. I was astounded by our productive collaboration." "This coaching journey with Brian has been transformative, reminding me constantly of the possibilities life holds. Witnessing monumental transitions, I see more people embracing their dreams for a soul-aligned, purposeful existence. These experiences are nothing short of magnificent."

    Thanks for visiting my profile. I'm guessing you're here for one of three reasons: 1. You're interested in hiring me for a writing project 2. You're thinking about working with me as a coach 3. You think I seem like a cool guy, and you want to hang out and talk about sports, cooking out, or running long races. If you best identify with #3, I appreciate the kind words, and I think you seem cool too. If you align more with #1 or #2, I encourage you to visit one of my specialized work profiles. There I'll speak to each area of expertise in greater detail. For now, I'll simply tell you that I'm an experienced writer with work published on several platforms. I've covered numerous topics through both short and long-form written content. At my writing peak in 2022, I wrote roughly 50,000 words per week. At the same time, I'm also an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation. I've nearly completed my Professional Certified Coach (PCC) application and hope to submit it within the next year. I also serve my local ICF chapter (which includes both Oklahoma and Arkansas) as Chapter President. When I'm not writing or coaching, I host a podcast called "Motivation for Regular People." I also send a weekly "Midweek Momentum" email newsletter. I'm passionate about helping people tap into their existing sources of motivation to pursue the goals that matter most to them, and I'm always looking for more ways to use my writing and coaching skills to serve that purpose. Want to learn more about me and how I can help you with your project? Send me a message and let's connect. I love getting to know new people, and I would be honored to serve you however I can.

    30 million TED and TEDx views. 60% selected as TEDx "Editor's Picks." Keynotes for events and conferences across industries. Delivered on 5 continents. Speeches I've coached and/or written are all of the above. Do you want to give a great speech or presentation? Do you feel overwhelmed because you have so much to say but don't know how to shape your talk? Let me help! I've been helping speakers for a few decades as a coach and speech writer/speechwriter. Do you want to become a better communicator but don't know how? Let's work together. I've taught public speaking and speechwriting to thousands of college students (for over 20 years) and have written keynotes for countless others, including CEOs of large companies. I served as a TEDx curator and speaker coach/writer for 10 years. I've worked with over 150 TEDx speakers as their coach or writer. 60% of my TEDx speakers have been selected as "Editor's Picks," only about 200 TEDx talks get this designation each year. IMPORTANT NOTE: I do write keynotes and presentations for people who don't have an event booked. However, I only do speechwriting for TEDx speakers who have already been selected by an event to give a talk. If you are an aspiring TED or TEDx speaker, hire me for a "Consultation" or, for more extended and focused help, my "Project". The work I do falls into two categories: Individual Sessions & Speechwriting 1) Individual Sessions: Public Speaking Coaching/Speaker Coaching -Finding your leadership voice -Figuring out what to say (Conversational and Impromptu Speaking) -Bringing your voice to life (Monotone/Flat Voice) -Presentation/Keynote Support (how to learn, practice, and polish your speech/pitch) -Small group discussions (how to lead and design) -General presentation skills (how to structure your presentation for any situation, from digital to auditoriums) -TEDx support (for your presentation, application, and general questions) If you are interested in meeting with me for individualized 1-on-1 sessions for a long period of time, scheduling a 30 or 60 minute consultation would be the first step to us working together. I've worked with so many professionals who just need a little bit of help to get to where they want to be. This is what we do in my individualized sessions. The link to book our first session/consultation is linked below. If you have questions prior to booking the consultation, please send me a message. I do not do discover calls for session work. I only do discovery calls for speechwriting. 2) Speechwriting (speech writing): (my fee is flat rate only) I've written keynotes for high performing individuals in the mental health, medical, startup, technology, sport, and finance spaces. In 2023 and 2024, I've written keynotes and TEDx Talks that have been delivered on five continents. Did you know that the best speechwriters know that there are many genres, just like in literature and movies? I write across all genres, including the genre of TED Talks. Speechwriting is a craft. It's never about me but helping you shape your talk with your passion, your expertise, and your stories. A coach is a teacher who knows how to pull the best out of you. I've worked professionally as a speechwriter before getting my PhD in Rhetoric. I've studied the greatest communicators and I've learned how to pull the best out of people of all abilities and experience levels. When you put these three things together (speechwriter, coach, and academic study), I am a bit of a unicorn because I know what to do, why you need to do it, and how to make it happen. I've been lucky to have incredible clients who just want to be better communicators. And, yes, talks I've coached have over 30 million TEDx and TED views. I help people of all skill levels become exceptional communicators. For more reviews, check out my LinkedIn and LinkedIn Services pages. Below is one of the reviews you can find on LinkedIn. Brian Requarth (Entrepreneur & Shark on Shark Tank Mexico): I had a few important speaking engagements last year and I came across Jeff online. I reached out and had a few great exchanges. We worked together on a TED style talk and he was super professional. I was so impressed in his ability to explain the process, write in my voice, think and communicate with such clarity. Aside from all of that he was just super easy to work with and I felt like he really cared about my success and dedicated the time to make me feel prepared in the process. I would recommend him without hesitation.

    Hi! I am a freelance writer and proofreader committed to collaborating with others to find and share their unique voices and ideas and to refine their already-crafted stories. My creative passion is to help people uncover the stories of their lives, but my extensive experience is in persuasive and descriptive writing.

Having experienced the collegial pleasure of working with some really talented emerging authors, I am discovering how much I enjoy the art and the precision of proofreading and editing. * Focused on adapting to the client's unique needs and voice * Adept in Microsoft Office or Google Suite products * Passionate about heightening message clarity by strengthening structure and eliminating distracting proofreading errors

    I'm an accomplished paid public speaker, speaking coach and presentation developer. I'd love to help you make your next presentation the absolute best you've ever given. My coaching practice includes Sharks from Shark Tank, several F500 and Unicorn CEOs and some social media famous influencers you probably follow. I've done 5 TEDx talks, 75+ Paid Keynote Presentations and helped train most of the Fortune 50. In the past decade, I've averaged $250,000/year in paid public speaking. I am frequently the highest-rated speaker at the conferences I keynote. My feedback score over the past decade has averaged 4.8/5. My talks have been seen by millions and my workshops have been taken by tens of thousands of people. I have helped startups raise over $50M in capital through pitch development and support, and am a top-rated mentor at Founder Institute and Techstars. == Other than giving talks, my favorite thing to do is to help people pitch ideas, companies and stories. I love the process of taking a concept and turning it into a killer presentation, whether that's for fundraising, TED talks, paid keynotes or business presentations. Developing, teaching and coaching speakers is truly a passion of mine. Working together, we'll craft the message, help you develop your style, iterate the deck and practice it until it's amazing. My team of graphic designers can help make the design sing if required. Regardless of your level of speaking or English language experience, I can help make your presentations better, tighter and more effective than you thought possible. == Check out a few of my talks below and send me a message if you're interested in chatting. Note: I can't accept every client that reaches out due to time constraints, but let me know a bit about your challenge in the notes and I'll respond back regardless.

    I have had two distinct, yet traditional careers -one providing psychotherapy/mental health consulting to a wide variety of clients from all over the world; a second in ever-increasing levels of administration of higher education. In 2013, I "ran away from it all" and traveled and lived around the world for the better part of a decade. This was the impetus for doing freelance work, and it has been a real gift. For the last 5 years, I have lived in the mountains of New Mexico and have worked as a psychotherapist, emotional wellness consultant, mental health freelance writer, and researcher. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and have over a decade of experience in providing therapy to a wide variety of clients. I currently work with clients on a telehealth basis. My clients range in age from 14 - 82, and their reasons for seeking my services are as varied as their ages. They have come to me from many different backgrounds, socioeconomic situations, cultures, and even nationalities. In regards to modalities or treatment styles, I believe in utilizing whatever techniques or treatment programs best fit the client and their unique set of needs. While I have a great deal of experience in providing psychotherapy and 15 years of experience in management and project management, I have been told by many that my success in both careers is firmly grounded in my ability to communicate. As a college administrator, I was responsible for communicating with and providing essential information to over 1,000 employees and 25,000 students. My primary form of communication was written/electronic. And of course, clear and strong communication is essential to any mental health or psychologically theraputic process. As such, I was given plenty of opportunities to hone my communication style and skills. This, I believe, has been the basis for my success in working with clients as a freelance writier. I have worked with many clients very successfully via Upwork and enjoy interacting with a variety of people. I find the challenges of freelance work invigorating. If you choose to involve me in your project you will find that I am professional and prompt. Once we agree to work together on a project it is OUR project and I will work diligently to ensure we are both satisfied. Thank you for your consideration. All the best. Allison
