Project: TEDx Royal Roads

Client: TEDx | Sector: Thought Leadership

Timeline: January – May 2024 | Format: Weekly coaching, in-person and remote
Participants: 8 speakers

Challenge: TEDx Royal Roads University (RRU) needed all speakers to deliver clear, confident, and engaging presentations that aligned with the event’s vision and standards within the event’s timeline.

Our Solution: We worked one-on-one and in group sessions with speakers, collaborating with other coaches to develop strategic lesson plans. Coaching included:

  • Script review and messaging guidance
  • Performance coaching and vocal technique
  • Workshop leadership and lesson planning
  • Media relations preparation and presentation tips

Results: All participants enhanced clarity, confidence, and presence in their talks. Our coaching ensured consistent delivery, polished presentations, and stronger audience engagement — both in-person and online.

“Jill was an invaluable voice coach during my TEDx journey. Her calm presence and supportive guidance created the space I needed to refine my message and deliver it with clarity. She not only helped me articulate my ideas with precision but also protected and strengthened my voice throughout the process. Jill’s expertise and kindness made her a joy to work with, and I know her coaching directly contributed to the success of my TEDx talk.“

“Jillian has participated on the TEDxRRU speaker coaching team for multiple years which has included leading workshops, collaborating with fellow coaches and in one-on-one settings and has been involved throughout every stage of the process from initial auditions through to event day. Jillian’s specialization in voice coaching was particularly impactful. She helped speakers develop deeper awareness of their voices and provided guided techniques and practical tools to support their growth. Her work helped speakers embody their message with clarity and presence, creating an experience that resonated more deeply with audiences. She brings artistry, precision, and genuine care to her work.”
