How We Work

Full and Half-Day Workshops

These brief, educational, and interactive events develop confidence, teach impromptu speaking, tailor body language, and help participants create congruency between their messaging and their speaking style. Each individual gets a 15-minute private session during the workshop as well. 

Corporate Packages

Every organization is unique. Custom packages can be built based on the needs and goals of your organization. Together, we can design a curriculum to elevate the skill level of the entire organization or just a small group of individuals.

Keynotes

These 90-minute presentations are tailored to your firm’s goals. The topic is chosen in advance customized to the level of communication that’s present across the organization. Example topics include Powerful Presence, Communicating Leadership, and Impromptu Speaking.

Individual Coaching

Many companies decide to add on follow-up individual coaching sessions to continue developing the foundational skills learned in the workshop. It’s also available as a stand alone package.

We always start with The Mic Drop — a 30-minute assessment session. After that, your plan is built and we meet regularly. Instruction is given on specific, tangible skills to practice.

 How We’re Different

Establishing a baseline level of communication skills across your organization can help you avoid:

  • Wasted time

  • Damaged reputation

  • Loss of business

  • Angry clients

  • Media kerfuffles

  • Escalating challenges

  • HR issues

  • Lost opportunities

We don’t just talk about theory. We use:

  • Self-assessment

  • Real-world Practice

  • Neuroscience-based Exercises

  • Self-control Techniques

  • Active Listening

  • Perspective Shifting

We teach you how to properly prepare for “planned” talks and conversations, as well as how to think on your feet, navigate tricky spontaneous conversations, and handle difficult conversations.

Nicole Wells

Meet the Founder, Nicole Wells

Welcome! Speaking up in group settings used to be my biggest fear. In fact, I was so afraid that my eyes would tear up when speaking with new people, and I was often asked, “Are you okay?” (Yes, it was incredibly awkward.)

Imagine my surprise that I have taught thousands of people how to communicate with more confidence and conviction - not just on stage but in every professional conversation.

The foundation of my approach came from extensive acting training – a Master of Fine Arts at Rutgers University under the direction of William Esper. Later, I became an adjunct faculty member at New York University’s Stern School of Business and the School for Professional Studies. I’ve also taught courses at The New School.

At Speak Wells, my job is to, first, make sure you know you’re not alone if communication isn’t your strongest suit or if you’ve built a firm full of brilliant people who need to level up their speaking skills. As a person who’s overcome her own fear or speaking, you’re in excellent company.

If you are truly, really, pinky-swear-ready to DO this and commit to the rewarding work of figuring out how to build your presence, influence, and authority, I know I can get you there, and it would be an honor to work with you!

Testimonials

Thank you for such an outstanding program. I have heard nothing but praise and positive words. The waiting list for your seminars continues to grow. The impact your work has had on our associates has been extremely positive — it’s clear that it will increase their visibility within and outside the firm.

Nicole’s approach to helping others improve their presentation skills is fresh, engaging and unlike other classes I’d taken in the past. She truly cares about her students learning and gets to the root of their needs. Nicole’s style is very entertaining and insightful. She helps you see your weak points but also how to use your strong points to your advantage.

I think the classes have been well worth it. I’ve seen “S” improve his spoken English quite a bit over the past few months. His confidence has also improved when it comes to conversations. It sounds like Nicole really addressed our specific needs and didn’t do some generic course.
