You’re already good. Now let’s make you unforgettable.

 

Your goal isn’t to be good. It’s to have your ideas move forward, your recommendations get funded, your concepts be the ones people are still bringing up weeks after the meeting ends. That’s what brings you to a public speaking coach.

 

And you’re not starting from scratch. You’ve put in the work. You know your material. You’re prepared every time you present. So you deserve to have your preparation translate to an engaging, persuasive talk.

 

Yet too often, it doesn’t, not because you lack confidence or knowledge, but because being a compelling presenter is its own skill. It’s a skill gap, and closing it is exactly what a public speaking coach does. Have no doubt. You can build this. You can be a confident public speaker.

What you get when Peter is your public speaking coach

 

  • Your ideas get the response they deserve, not just polite attention.
  • Your presentations are so clear that everyone knows exactly what you mean.
  • You build the confidence that comes from knowing you’re ready.
  • Your presence earns attention before you speak and holds it until you’re done.
  • You perform at your best precisely when it matters most.
  • Your reputation grows every time you speak.
  • You’re just as sharp live as you were in preparation.
  • Your ideas move forward instead of getting lost in a flat delivery.
  • You’re confident before you say a single word.
  • People remember what you said, and they act on it.

 

It’s your time to stop informing and start transforming! ™

The methodology

The AMP'D Framework.

Most public speaking training focuses on one thing: delivery. Stand straight. Project. Make eye contact. But great public speaking skills aren't built solely on delivery. They're built on knowing who you're speaking to, what your audience needs to hear, how to structure your talk, and then how to land it. Four pillars, in order, every time.

Audience

Before you decide what to say, know who you're saying it to and what they need to walk away believing.

Message

Build a message that resonates with the audience and the moment.

Presentation

Structure and frame your content so you move from merely informing people to truly transforming them.

Delivery

Your voice, your presence, your body, all aligned with your message so nothing gets in the way of the impact.

"

Peter helped me achieve things I never thought possible as a speaker. He has full command of his craft and an endless toolkit for teaching it, and whatever challenge a speaker brings him, he has a way through it. I came to Peter wanting to improve. I left transformed.

— FAQ

Questions about having Peter as your public speaking coach.

Who does Peter coach?

Peter typically works with:

Whether you're stepping into a boardroom, walking onto a keynote stage, or building a team-wide communication standard, there's a path built for you.

What is the AMP'D Framework?

AMP'D stands for Audience, Message, Presentation, and Delivery — the four pillars of every effective talk, in order, every time. It's the proprietary methodology Peter developed over two decades of coaching, and it's also the system laid out in full in his award-winning book, The Captivating Public Speaker. Every coaching engagement is built around AMP'D, so you leave with a repeatable system, not just situational fixes.

Where is Peter based, and do you work with clients outside Providence?

Peter is based in Providence, RI, and works with clients across the U.S. and internationally. Over the past two decades, he's presented to and trained more than 120,000 professionals in 50+ countries and delivered coaching and keynotes in all 48 contiguous states. Whether you're in Boston, New York, San Francisco, or somewhere in between, distance isn't a limitation.

Does Peter offer virtual coaching or only in person?

Both. One-to-one coaching happens in whichever format works best — virtual for clients outside the region or with tight travel schedules, in-person for Northeast clients within driving distance of Providence and for anyone who prefers to work face-to-face. Keynotes, corporate team training, and executive intensives are typically delivered in-person, wherever you need Peter in the room. Every format uses the same AMP'D Framework and delivers the same outcomes.

How is working with a public speaking coach different from taking a public speaking class?

A public speaking class teaches general skills to a group. A public speaking coach builds the process entirely around you — your goals, your audience, your specific high-stakes moments. In a class, you're one of many. In coaching, every session moves your actual work forward: your next keynote, your next board presentation, your next prospect meeting. If you already know the fundamentals but want to sound like a leader when it matters most, coaching gets you there faster than any class can.

Should I read The Captivating Public Speaker before working with Peter?

You don't need to, but you'll get more out of both if you do. The Captivating Public Speaker is the AMP'D Framework in full, so reading it gives you the complete system before you start working together. Clients who read it first come to sessions with the vocabulary and mental model already in place, which means sessions focus on applying the framework to your specific situations rather than teaching the fundamentals. That said, plenty of clients start with coaching and use the book as an ongoing reference. Either way works.

What makes Peter different from other public speaking coaches?

Three things set your experience apart:

  • The AMP'D Framework™ — a complete, ordered system for building any talk, backed by The Captivating Public Speaker, which has earned six international book awards and carries a foreword by Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI.
  • Client range — from CVS Health, Anheuser-Busch, and Blount Fine Foods to individual executives, financial advisors, and sought after speakers.
  • Outcome standard — you don't just get better. You get calm, confident, and credible every time you speak.
