Teri Kingston Speaking Coach

World Class Speaker & TEDx Coach

Teri Kingston Real Impact Speaking

Teri shares her unique insights on effective public speaking with her executive speech coach clients, keynoters, and her private TEDx clients.

Teri Kingston is a public speaking and TEDx Speaker Coach. In 2023 she was listed as one of Canada’s Top Ten Speaking Coaches. She works with executives, thought-leaders and people with a passion to share ideas on one of the largest platforms in the world.

A member of Toastmasters International since 2002, she received her Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) designation in 2008. She was certified as a World Class Speaking Coach in 2011.

She is particularly effective when helping STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine) speakers explain technical subject matter to non-technical audiences. Her “What Happens when STEM meets TED” is a popular workshop offering. She has worked with STEM students at UOttawa, UMaine and Carleton University.

Her own TEDx talk, “Can We Live Better by Talking About Dying?” was viewed over 40K times in the first 24 hours of being posted.

Through her business, Real Impact Speaking, she helps to amplify presentation skills using TED-style storytelling techniques. Teri understands how to help speakers discover, design and develop their best talks.

Her mission is to help people get their valuable perspectives and ideas out into the world in a way that will truly resonate with their audiences every time they step out on stage.

Teri lives in St Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick, Canada because it is postcard pretty and on the border with Maine. This allows her to be as close as possible to children and grandchildren who live way too far away. When she can’t visit them, she consoles herself with chocolate!

Testimonials

It was a pleasure working with Teri and all our speakers spoke highly of her engaging process and coaching skills. She gives you a specific process to prepare for public appearances, a way to focus and center yourself, and most importantly the tools you need to connect fully with your audience to deliver a powerful message. Teri is passionate about speaking and it shows in how much she cares for her speakers. I highly recommend Teri for anyone who makes their living speaking in front of others or has a dream of giving a Ted Talk.
