Emily Donahoe Executive communication
I’m an executive communication coach and trained actor. I founded WOMENSPEAK Training, research-based public speaking training for women at companies, and Talk Shop Training, which coaches professionals and teams on presence, storytelling, and presentation skills.
Years on stage, in screenwriting, and in producing taught me how a message lands in a room. I bring that craft into every session.
Recent clients include AstraZeneca, Willis, Saatchi & Saatchi, Estee Lauder Companies, Team One Advertising, and Publicis Groupe. I also served as storytelling consultant on the pitch that won GEICO’s account for Universal McCann. I've taught for Women's Campaign School at Yale.
Everything I teach is grounded in research on how voices get heard and credited at work, and built to be practiced.
