"Why should I hire a coach instead of practicing on my own?"
Practicing on your own is important for improving your speaking skills. But what’s missing is feedback. A coach can point out the strengths you can leverage and where to fine tune. While AI can provide analytics they are not always correct. You can watch your video but you may miss nuances that could help your presentation and it’s difficult to be objective about your own performance. Most importantly, a good coach can connect the dots through observation and intuition. The coach can brainstorm ideas to create engagement with the audience. Top athletes and performers work with coaches because they value their wisdom, skill, and encouragement to get to the next level. Who doesn’t want a cheerleader?
