Who This Is For
You Are Good in the Room. You Want to Be Great on the Stage.
Maybe you have a keynote coming. A board presentation that matters. A TED-style talk, an award acceptance, a moment in front of your whole company. You are accomplished. You know your subject cold. And you know that knowing your subject is not the same thing as moving a room.
Executive Speech Coaching is three private months with Jim Cathcart, one of the most decorated speakers in the world. Hall of Fame. More than 3,500 speeches on six continents. Fifty-three years of standing in front of audiences and reading exactly what they need.
This is not a course you watch. It is Jim, working with you, on your talk, until you can walk on stage and own it.
“You already have a voice. The work is setting it free in front of an audience.”

The Coaching Is Built Around the Book
Jim wrote What To Do When You’re the Speaker as the complete field guide to the speaking craft, from preparing, to delivering, to handling the room. It is free to download. Start there before you spend a dollar.
The coaching takes that book and makes it personal. Jim sits with you and applies its frameworks to your talk, your audience, and the specific moment you are preparing for. The book gives you the map. The coaching walks the territory with you.

Three Months, One-on-One
What Changes
There is no fixed curriculum. It is shaped to the talk you are building and the speaker you are becoming. But by the end, four things are true that were not true before.
You Stop Performing and Start Connecting
The fear of public speaking is really the fear of being judged. Jim moves you off the stage in your head and into the room with real people. Presence replaces performance.
You Build a Talk That Is Unmistakably Yours
Not a borrowed framework. Your message, your stories, your evidence, structured so an audience can follow it and remember it. The Cathcart Method, applied to your material.
You Command the Room Without Forcing It
Pacing, presence, the pause, the eye contact, the recovery when something goes wrong. The mechanics that separate a competent presenter from one people quote afterward.
You Walk On Stage Certain
By the end, the nerves do not run the room. You do. You know your opening, you know your close, and you know you can handle whatever happens in between.

Russell M. Kern
Senior leadership advisor, coaching client
Jim Cathcart was gracious enough to coach me on a new keynote speech I was developing. Working together in just a few sessions, Jim provided valuable feedback on my intro, main points, stories, and a conclusion that ended up bringing my first audience to their feet. He is masterful at helping experienced professionals up their game.

I signed up for Jim Cathcart's Confident Communication coaching program. I had off-the-charts high expectations, and somehow Jim exceeded them on all fronts.

One executive in Southern California tried to negotiate the fee down. He ended up investing the full amount. Then he came back. Three times. The price holds because the work holds.
The Standards He Built

The Investment
$7,500
A three-month private coaching engagement with Jim
A great talk does not end when you leave the stage. It opens doors, closes deals, and changes how people see you for years. Measured against one moment that actually lands, the investment is small.
This is direct access to a Hall of Fame speaker, working on your material, for three months. The price holds firm for the same reason the results do. You are not buying tips. You are buying fifty-three years of judgment, applied to you.
