Hi I'm Kerry Barrett
ON-CAMERA AND VIDEO COACH
My fear of public speaking wasn’t a rational fear. It crippled me — sending me into the proverbial fetal position, paralyzed by anxiety and insecurity. So, how did I end up with a 20+ year career in the news business, speaking to an audience of millions every day and even winning an Emmy®
It started with a childhood spent overseas. I was always interested in learning about other people — their cultures, how they lived and their personal stories. This influenced not only my career path in communications, but also my innate ability to recognize interesting stories in others. Basically, when you go to school for Speech and Communication Studies, you have no choice but to face your public-speaking phobia.
Over time, with a lot of hard work and a large splash of self-confidence, I didn’t just kick that once crippling fear to the curb, I turned it into one of my core strengths.
AND YOU CAN TOO!
Now, whether it’s on camera or media presentation and strategy, or becoming a more dynamic, confident and compelling public speaker, individual, groups or via video conference, I help clients from all walks of life to crush their confidence and conquer those fears.
"I had a vague vision but no experience on camera. I was nervous! Kerry created a masterpiece that brought my story to life, providing me with essential coaching for my video, public speaking and 1-on-1 interactions.

"Here I am doing a video testimonial, totally comfortable, understanding how to do it, where to put it, where it all goes, leaps and bounds. It's not an understatement to say that it changed my life. So if you're considering it, I highly recommend it. It's totally worth it."
