Katy Temple | Founder & CEO | Katy Temple Media Coaching

If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, nerves, or engagement when presenting, Katy Temple can help you. If you talk too fast, too much, or don’t know how to bring your data alive through story, Katy can help you.  And if speaking in front the camera makes you sick, want to run the other way or makes you appear not like yourself, Katy can help. Leveraging, 25 plus years as an Emmy Award winning sportscaster, there aren’t many challenges, like interviewing Tiger Woods after a bad round of gold, embarrassing moments, like getting yelled at in a big-league clubhouse by a professional baseball player, mistakes, like reporting the wrong score in live t.v. or successes, like winning an Emmy, that Katy hasn’t experienced when presenting. Now, she supports her clients to capitalize on those critical camera moments by showing up strong, confident and comfortable in the media, on stage and online just like they do in every other area of their life. For 6 years, Katy took a break from communications and worked in technology with Qualcomm as her client. That experience was a learning ground for business, technology, and women’s challenges in another industry dominated by men, besides sports. And now she’s merged her experience, expertise, and passion by fast tracking her clients to be the best version of themselves on camera and in person.  Katy’s looking forward to being with you all at this Athena Event! https://www.katytemplemediacoaching.com/
