"Daniel has been a great sounding board to take a strong story, and finesse it with just the right amount of edits and drama, juxtaposed against encouragement and support. He is intentional about learning how I receive feedback, and has been a great investment to help level up my talk for the competition. Grand Slam here I come."

"One of the best decisions I made in my career was working with Daniel as my coach! His guidance in my speech writing for the Speaker Slam competition was incredibly helpful, along with his support in performance preparation. I can't thank him enough for sharing his expertise with such fun, positive energy, professionalism, and clear communication. After every session with him, I feel motivated to be my BEST version. I am now an award-winning inspirational speaker and wouldn’t have achieved this milestone without his support. I look forward to working with Daniel again in the future!

"I’m incredibly thankful for Daniel’s coaching! I really appreciated the pacing of the sessions, the clear structure, and the calm, grounded presence he brings. His vast knowledge and experience as both a speaker and coach—and especially as a member of the Speaker Slam community—made all the difference. His guidance helped me bring out my best."

"Working with Daniel was an incredible experience from the very beginning. We connected immediately, which made it easy to dive in and get to work. From day one, Daniel helped me identify the core elements of my speech and gave me the clarity I needed to move forward with confidence.

What truly set Daniel apart was his ability to push me beyond simply telling a story. He guided me to tap into the emotions I experienced on that day—to feel them again and then channel them into my delivery. That shift took my speech to a whole new level.

Daniel didn’t let me settle for what felt comfortable. He challenged me to step into discomfort, raise my standards, and bring out the most powerful version of my message. His coaching played a critical role in my performance, and I credit him as a key factor in placing third in the competition.

I’m incredibly grateful for his insight, support, and high standards. Working with him was a game-changer."
