Description

What to Expect from Private Coaching

Private coaching gives you dedicated, one-on-one time with Dr. Cheryl Mathews to address your specific public speaking challenges. Unlike group programs, every minute is focused entirely on your situation, your triggers, and your goals.

Each session is tailored to what you need most. Here’s a recommended starting framework:

Your Personal Improvement Plan (PIP)

Together, we’ll map out your specific goals and assess your current anxiety levels across different speaking situations. Your PIP becomes your personalized roadmap—detailing exactly what to work on and providing numeric benchmarks to track your progress over time. This collaborative process typically takes 1-2 sessions to develop thoroughly.

Anxiety Management Techniques

Learn the MAP System (Mindset Shifts, Activation Control, Practice Smart) and the HEART Protocol (Head Off Second Fear, Eye On The Ball, Allow First Fear, Ride the Wave, Take the Win). These evidence-based techniques help you manage your nervous system in real-time, keeping anxiety in the manageable range instead of spiraling into panic.

Situation-Specific Strategy

Have a big presentation, job interview, wedding toast, or important meeting coming up? We’ll strategize specifically for your situation—what to prepare, how to apply HEART in that exact context, and how to redefine success so you walk away feeling accomplished regardless of nerves.

Your Questions Answered

This is your dedicated time. Bring any questions—about the science behind anxiety, how to handle specific scenarios, whether medication might help as “training wheels,” how to explain your anxiety to others, or anything else on your mind.

This Is Right for You If…

You’re experiencing moderate-to-severe public speaking anxiety and want personalized guidance. You might be dealing with panic attacks during presentations, your mind going blank when all eyes are on you, avoiding career opportunities because of fear, or weeks of dread before speaking events.

Your goal doesn’t need to be becoming a “great speaker.” Success means functioning—getting your message across clearly enough for your audience to understand, even if you feel nervous. That’s exactly what we’ll work toward together.
