Spotlight Ready Coaching Program

Laressa is the best media coach that you could ever have. She will teach you how to prepare for each video so that you can deliver your content in a meaningful way that captivates your audience.

Before working with Laressa, I would show up on video because I knew I had to, but I always hated it. I was amazed at how easy it was to speak with her, and loved the very easy techniques that helped me to overcome my feelings of self-consciousness, fear, and nervousness about being in front of a camera and on stage.

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.

Laressa meets you where you are at and helps you own your own confidence and power. 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.

Laressa made the entire process comfortable, fun, and really coached me to being the best version of myself on camera. On and off camera she has not only taken my law firm to the next level, but my confidence to the next level as a practicing attorney.

Laressa has been instrumental in helping me become the highly sought out leadership and negotiation strategist across this country and Latin America. Her branding and media knowledge are outstanding! Without Laressa I wouldn’t be enjoying my current professional success.

There are no words to describe the impact this training has made in my career and the way I approach new challenges every day. Laressa teaches you to be the best version of yourself, because authenticity is key. After taking lessons with Laressa I can confidently carry an interview, present in front of a camera, and know exactly what to wear and how to prepare myself. She taught me techniques to calm my nerves and ways to discover the perfect tone for my voice so that my message is clear and concise.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to learn from her and look forward to continuing to use her lessons as my video series and podcast are launched! Thank you so much for your patience, time, and dedication.

Executive & Podcast Host

When I came to Laressa, I was terrified of the camera and to present in front of people. However, after a week of working with Laressa, she had me knocking out in-person and video interviews with the utmost confidence. I learned how to speak in soundbites, how to move with a purpose, how to project, how to develop scripts for my podcast.

I highly recommend Laressa to everybody who needs to sharpen their video and stage presence, and most of us do.
