I’m Laressa Watlington, and I help professionals communicate with clarity and confidence.

With over 24 years of experience in communication and media coaching, I empower attorneys, entrepreneurs, and business leaders to overcome self-doubt, refine their message, and connect authentically with their audiences. Through my signature Amplify Your Presence framework, I guide clients to break free from self-imposed limits, develop lasting confidence, and master the skills needed to make a powerful impact—whether they’re on camera, on stage, or in the boardroom.

My approach goes beyond traditional training. I work one-on-one with each client to identify their unique strengths and challenges, crafting a customized path toward authentic communication. Together, we tackle not only the technical aspects, like presentation structure and body language, but also the mindset barriers that can hold even the most talented professionals back. This holistic approach ensures that you’re not just practicing techniques but also building the inner resilience and self-assurance to communicate effectively in any situation.

Clients often tell me that this journey is transformative—not only in how they present themselves, but in how they see themselves. They move from self-doubt and hesitation to feeling empowered and confident in their voice. When you work with me, you’ll learn to communicate with clarity, connect with your audience on a genuine level, and stand out as a respected, influential presence in your field.

When I’m not working with clients from across the country and around the globe, I love exploring Florida’s waterways, spending time with my family, and constantly learning new ways to help entrepreneurs and leaders succeed.

What Clients Are Saying About Their Journey with Laressa

Lisandra Matos
ATTORNEY & LAW FIRM OWNER

Laressa has been transformational in up-leveling my presence on camera, not only in her guidance around content delivery, but in how I want to show up to authentically connect with my audience. She creates a warm and empathetic space for feedback so you can work specifically on the things you need to fine tune, and as a result, you see significant results in how you show up on camera after each session. I couldn’t recommend Laressa more highly.

Lia Garvin

Laressa meets you where you are and helps you own your own confidence and power. The level of trust she builds helped me discover my voice and be able to deliver my message. She supported me into transforming my public speaking fear and anxiety into being a more empowered presenter and speaker in my profession. I would highly recommend Laressa as a coach.
