You Have Something Important to Say.
The challenge is turning that insight, experience, or story into a talk that truly connects — and gets you invited back.
At Real Impact Speaking, Teri Kingston helps speakers refine their message, strengthen their storytelling, and deliver with confidence so they can land TEDx stages, keynote opportunities, and high-stakes presentations that move people and open doors.
Why Most Speakers Feel Stuck
If you’re here, chances are you recognize at least a few of these challenges:
- You have an important message, but you can’t articulate it clearly or confidently
- Your ideas feel overwhelming and difficult to shape into a compelling talk
- Your delivery feels flat, unpolished, or disconnected from the audience
- You’ve received mixed feedback or low engagement on past presentations
- You struggle to find the right idea or angle for a TEDx talk or keynote
- You avoid speaking opportunities because you don’t feel ready
- You’re unsure how to structure a talk that flows and lands
- You don’t know how to turn lived experience into an audience-focused message
Your Message Matters More Than Ever
I understand how frustrating it is to care deeply about your message, yet feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by how to share it. Many of my clients come to me with powerful ideas and stories, but without the structure, clarity, or confidence to bring them to life. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re exactly where you need to be.
