Do You Relate to This?

You’re in a high-demand field like technology or science and asked to speak with short notice
You feel like you're blending in with everybody else in your field because you don't know how to stand out
You find it difficult to communicate the benefits of products or services without putting your audience to sleep
You want to appear on stage and video with more confidence and charisma
You have unique insights in your field but don’t know the best way to communicate them

You have a lot to say, but you can’t say it succinctly, under time constraints
You wish you could create rapport with your audience using your natural style and personality
You struggle to explain your deep insights or research in layman's terms
You wish when somebody searched for your field, yours was the first name to pop up
You want to give a Keynote at your next industry event or start a video series on social media, but don’t know how to write interesting content

There is a better way to communicate your expertise, so you become the first person that is thought of when someone is looking to engage with your industry.

Many subject-matter experts excel in their careers, only to get “stuck” because they can’t communicate effectively and gain recognition as the GoTo Speaker™️.

I have tested and created a unique approach for communicating with your audience, in-person and virtually. With it, you’ll develop the confidence and clarity needed to serve your audience better using your unique insights and expertise.

Hi, my name is Kristy Siefkin. You may recognize me from TV where I spent over a decade as a journalist, anchor, and host, broadcasting in San Francisco, CA (CBS 5 and KRON 4), Phoenix, Arizona (Fox 10), and on Animal Planet, and Discovery Channel.

I help you convert your gifts, passions, and skills into your secret weapon, so you can communicate powerfully in person and across digital platforms.

“When you master the art of confident and impactful speaking, you become unstoppable.”

Kristy Siefkin,
Professional Communications Coach

This Is What I Do

My GoTo Speaker™️ Program is designed for introverted, mid-career subject matter experts who want their professional genius to shine through in their spoken communications. The GoTo Speaker™️ Program is an outcome-driven system based on tried and tested frameworks used in media around the world.

In this program, you’ll uncover your core values, limiting beliefs, strengths, and professional experience, and discover what makes you uniquely qualified to be the “GoTo Speaker™️” in your field.

Using my proprietary GoTo Speaker™️ framework, you’ll learn step-by-step exactly how to craft compelling in-person and virtual presentations, so your audience pays attention and takes action.

You’ll also master the non-verbal communication skills essential to outstanding presentations. Together, we’ll set up your at-home “studio” to create professional recordings of 1) Your Signature Speech and 2) A Short Professional Video Series. With these polished deliverables, you can prove to anyone that you are the GoTo Speaker™️ in your industry.

This is What Others Say About Me

"Such incredible training. Kristy allowed for an engaging, comfortable, informative environment. I cannot wait to take back what I learned to my leadership group as well as start utilizing it for my next presentation. You have left me excited about my work and ability to successfully present in the most impactful way. Thank you!"

"This has been an incredibly illuminating experience. Kristy is wonderfully supportive and a fantastic presenter and teacher. Her passion for communications made this program so engaging and rich. I learned a tremendous amount and think every professional could benefit from this learning experience."

"Kristy is an outstanding presenter and coach. She not only knows her material but implements and exemplifies the learnt techniques very well. Together we tackled the little nuances that make a big difference in my presentations. I'd recommend this training to anyone wanting to improve their presentation and delivery skills!"

“I am a physician-scientist... Our work is highly complex to explain to a lay audience. Kristy covered a story about some biomarkers we had discovered for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Even more impressive than her inquisitiveness and scientific understanding was Kristy's ability to convey this complicated material in terms that non-scientists would understand. The final story came out clear, understandable, exciting, and entirely correct. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

“I met Kristy when she came to do a story on Steps of Faith and our work with at-risk women and families in the Phoenix area. Her warmth and openness immediately put everyone at ease. As she worked with us to tell the story of the Center, she took time to really understand the different services our organization provides and the needs of the women we serve. Her genuine interest and enthusiasm in hearing from clients, volunteers, and staff about the impact the Center was making on their lives was contagious! It was clear that she sought to capture the “heart and soul” of what we do and we could not have asked for a better voice to help us raise awareness for the needs of this vulnerable group of women in our community. Thank you, Kristy!”

“Kristy is one of the most talented people I have ever met, and she is an absolute joy to work with. As an On-Camera Talent, she is genuine, charismatic, and makes even the most difficult productions seem easy. As a Producer, her writing is flawless, and she has a natural ability to inject the facts with a creative polish that leaves you wanting more. Kristy always exceeds your expectations, and her turn-around time is remarkable. She is a true anomaly — equally gifted as both an On-Camera Talent and as a Producer, and this makes her the cornerstone of every production. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
