30 million TED and TEDx views. 60% selected as TEDx "Editor's Picks." Keynotes for events and conferences across industries. Delivered on 6 continents. Speeches I've coached and/or written are all of the above. I help executives, founders, professionals, and speakers become clearer, more confident, and more effective communicators. This is why people choose to work with me during some of the biggest moments of their lives. Sometimes that means preparing for a keynote, TEDx talk, board presentation, investor pitch, interview, or major conference speech. While at other times that means preparing for high stakes interviews at your dream companies. Professionals I've coached have gotten executive positions at companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and so many more. But often, the work starts somewhere more personal and practical: You have a lot to say, but your thoughts get jumbled. You know your ideas matter, but you struggle to organize them in the moment. You want to sound confident, but anxiety takes over. You need more presence, but you don’t want to sound fake, rehearsed, or overly polished. That is exactly the kind of work I do. I offer individual communication coaching sessions designed to help you develop clarity of mind, clarity of message, presence, confidence, and a more grounded way of speaking. Whether you are preparing for a high-stakes presentation or simply want to communicate more effectively in meetings, leadership conversations, interviews, panels, or everyday professional situations, I help you slow down, think clearly, structure your ideas, and speak in a way that sounds like you at your best. My work falls into three connected areas: Strategy, Content Creation, and Delivery. 1. Strategy: Clarify the Message Strong communication begins before the words. Many leaders and professionals come to me with too many ideas competing for attention. They know the topic. They know the stakes. But they don't know the throughline (the central idea that holds everything together). I help you clarify what you actually mean, what your audience needs to hear, and how to structure your message so people can follow it. This work may include executive communication strategy, thought organization, throughline development, message clarity, audience analysis, leadership messaging, presentation strategy, Q&A preparation, and meeting or conversation preparation. When your message is clear, your confidence grows because you're no longer trying to hold everything in your head at once. You know where you're going. 2. Content Creation: Shape the Speech, Talk, or Presentation (Flat fee only) When you need a keynote, TEDx talk, leadership speech, pitch, or major presentation, I can help you build it from the ground up or reshape what you already have. I’ve helped prepare keynotes and presentations delivered across industries and on six continents. I’ve also worked with executives and professionals from organizations such as the SAP, Novo Nordisk, Deloitte, Johnson & Johnson, the United Nations, NFL, NBA, The North Face, Brooks, TED/TEDx, and others. I can help with executive keynotes, TED and TED-style talks, leadership speeches, founder stories, company narratives, scripts, internal presentations, board and investor presentations, conference talks, speech outlines, full manuscripts, talking points, and presentation flow. I write for spoken language, not the page. That means the message needs to be clear, human, and easy to follow in real time. 3. Delivery: Speak with Presence and Believability Delivery is not about becoming theatrical, forcing gestures, adding dramatic pauses, or sounding like a motivational speaker. Good delivery sounds believable. In delivery coaching, I help you work on executive presence, vocal confidence, tone, pacing, rhythm, filler words, nerves, concision, pressure, rehearsal, Q&A, and the ability to lead a room with calm authority. The goal is to help you own the message so you are not trapped in your notes, overwhelmed by anxiety, or trying to remember every word. You should know your message well enough to be free inside it. Why Work With Me I bring together three backgrounds that don't typically live in the same person. I am a professional speechwriter, executive communications coach, and communication strategist. I've worked with more than 150 TEDx speakers and thousands of professionals in one-on-one sessions and training. I also taught public speaking, speechwriting, and communication for nearly 20 years college students, including at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I directed TEDxCU for 10 years. That means I can help you clarify the idea, shape the message, write the speech, and deliver it with more confidence, presence, and ease. I've seen it all and helped people be better.

Hello! I’m an expert editorial and document designer with a PhD and 10+ years of experience. I combine my ability to understand complex subject matter with my eye for executive-level design to elevate all types of assets, from reports and white papers to proposals and everything in between. ✨ Editorial & Document Design | 📊 Reports & Presentations | 🔍 Writing Refinement ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Chelsea is highly competent and great to work with. Not only does she have a great aptitude for understanding client needs, she's super responsive and a great communicator. Very smart. Very fast. Very good. Highly recommend." I typically help consultants and businesses with projects in two areas: ▫️Document design that looks polished, clean, and executive-level. ▫️Writing and editing that clarifies complex ideas, or if the work just needs a second set of eyes. ⭐ What makes me different: My background in both industry and research means I can quickly understand complex topics. What does that have to do with design? I design to fit your work, which means you won’t have gimmicky stock photos that have nothing to do with your industry or design elements that perhaps look nice but cheapen your positioning. Because I’m capable of understanding your work, I can understand how to best portray it visually. My document designs speak for themselves (take a look at my portfolio). I tailor everything to your business, your vision, and your brand... no templates. High-resolution stock photography is always included. I specialize in text-heavy documents, so send me that 60-page strategic report and I’ll turn it into something you (and your clients) will say “wow, that looks professional.” I combine my high-level business and technical writing expertise with my passion for editorial design, so if you need a quality editor AND a quality designer, I’m that two-for-one that will be hard to find elsewhere. I do also take on writing projects as well, so please reach out if you’re interested in content writing. More About Me: After earning my PhD, I worked at NASA as a lead scientist and technical writer. I’ve worked in various research labs, worked on research ships in the open ocean, published my work in journals, contributed to textbooks in my field, and authored university course manuals. After many years, I realized I wanted to expand my horizons and pivoted from federal work to business writing and graphic design, where I now partner with consultants and teams across industries to help them deliver reports, B2B content, and lead generation assets that set them above their competition. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Chelsea was phenomenal to work with. Her communication was clear, professional, and timely throughout the entire process. She was fast, but in the best way possible, efficient without ever sacrificing accuracy or quality.
