Hi, I’m Kristen Powers, but you can call me KP.
The fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of death. But it doesn’t have to be that dire.
As a former local candidate and progressive communications professional, I’ve witnessed the power of a simple story. I’m here to support you in building your own storytelling power so that you can capture attention, hearts, and votes.
Need a little bit of coaching or accountability in your speaking practice? Book a free consultation to see if we’re a fit.
Hear it directly from a political candidate who worked directly with me:
“As someone whose day job relies heavily on excellent public speaking skills, I wasn’t sure how much help I really needed from Kristen. Within minutes of starting the workshop, however, I realized that I had a lot to learn from her.
Campaigning truly is unique — learning how to connect with voters is a very particular skill set — and Kristen’s coaching and firsthand experience helped me refine and tailor my messaging in ways that really elevated and built on my platform.”

My Approach
Many of the people I’ve worked with have all the stories they need. They just need a little bit of help tapping into them. One-on-one coaching is two-fold: an opportunity to practice with feedback and build your story bank so you have something prepared for every situation on the campaign trail.
Practice with a partner
When we work together, we will create lots of different scenarios to practice your public speaking. You’ll also have recordings and notes to reflect on in your own time.
Build your story bank
We will work on ethical story banking that reflects your lived experiences as well as those of the people you meet on the campaign trail. Build a story for every public speaking scenario.
