Welcome to Stage Savvy Speakers!
Hi there! Welcome to Stage Savvy Speakers, where I help women like you to find their voice, speak with confidence, and empower themselves and others through the art of storytelling.
When we share our stories, we share the wisdom we have gained through our life experiences. You never know when your story might just be someone else's survival guide, life line, or catalyst to make change.
When you work with me, you will learn the tools you need to be a more confident speaker, artistic storyteller, powerful writer, and inspired individual. My simple 3 step process for creating your speech, presentation, or other content will have you on the path to confident speaking and powerful storytelling!
I will meet you where you are and help you capitalize on your strengths while also building up your weaknesses. There is much to be learned from the things we feel weak at and I will help you turn those weaknesses into strengths so that you can share your story with any audience, from any stage, with confidence and grace.

"April has a true gift of getting the juices out of you. I was at first lost and overwhelmed and couldn't get my thoughts straight when I was preparing for my speech for the Confidence Speakers Catalyst. I came out truly confident after even just a couple sessions with her. She listens and then when she starts talking, I just want to record everything she says because she is able to articulate everything in a way that shows the real me."
Joahnna Salvan
"April was an awesome mentor while I prepped for my speaking gig. She really got me, gave clear advice, and her feedback was gold! Plus, she hooked me up with killer tips for launching my own podcast. Big shoutout to April for all her help. You rock! 🌟 #MentorAppreciation #ThanksApril"

"April made my speech come together in a way that I never imagined. She helped me combine things in a manner that made sense and in a short amount of time."
Terri Beardsley
Independent Consultant
"I had an amazing coaching session with April today. She helped me select 3 different topics to give as speeches. Until coaching with her, I struggled to pick topics because I wasn't able to narrow things down. I felt overwhelmed with all of the different options and she helped me to eliminate that feeling...YES! Then she not only helped me create a clear outline for each topic but she gave me direction and coaching as I practiced one of my talks during our session. It was so helpful and empowering! I feel more confident and clear about my presentations and I am so grateful to her! I left the session with the tools I need to create a talk of any length that truly represents me, my business and the value and inspiration I want to provide to my audiences. What a gift! I highly recommend April!"
Kristin R.
Business Coach
"April provides all the guidance and expertise to help transform your story and craft it into a masterpiece. The confidence that was instilled in me that I would have never gotten without this experience. Before working with you I felt TERRIFIED and avoided all opportunities to speak. I would tremble and stutter every time I had to share. After working with you, I can now not be afraid to speak and can gracefully redirect if I make a mistake without feeling like a failure."
