Why people call us

Coaching

Coaching moves people from where they are to where they want to be. When it comes to communications, most people define their destination in terms of outcomes from their audience. Through virtual or in-person coaching, we can guide you in your skills, your message, your style, or a combination of all three.

We offer on-site corporate training workshops and public speaking classes to assist you in developing your employees and giving them the skills they need to influence and impact their audiences.

What we say

You can speak with Confidence, Power, and Ease!

Whether it’s making a sales presentation to close that deal, giving an effective powerpoint presentation, motivating your employees, or delivering that career-changing keynote speech, it’s all riding on your communication skills. It’s no longer a luxury to have effective speaking skills, it is essential. Effective communicators provide an enjoyable and memorable experience for the listener, eliminate distracting verbal and non-verbal content, and deliver clear messages that demand action. Few of us naturally possess the skills, passion, and discipline to transmit our ideas with such clarity, charisma, and power. But with training and practice, virtually anyone can become such a communicator. Get started with our public speaking classes, training, coaching, and keynotes.

You have what it takes. We can show you how!

Deliver your speech like a pro
Engage your audience
Become an effective, persuasive speaker
Learn to enjoy public speaking

What our customers say

“If you make an effort to apply the techniques this course provides, you will differentiate yourself as a leader. To me, leadership is a necessary component of success.”

Gail | Red Hat

“I never would have delivered my content at the pace or with expression as I did had it not been for your class. I was nervous walking on stage as the CEO introduced me, but in that moment I recognized I wasn’t as nervous as I could have been. I never would have felt as confident and comfortable speaking that morning if it had not been for your class.”

Julie | Virginia Women's Center

“Great speaker/Very engaging and makes the presentation interesting bringing in stories and examples.” “Probably the best discussion on communication I’ve seen…excellent energy & practical suggestions I can put in place today. Thanks!”

Conference Attendees | Keynote Presentation with Alan Hoffler

“THANK YOU! I have honestly had no less than 15 employees tell me today that you were the best speaker in our four years of holding planning sessions. We had high expectations and you delivered. Your message was clear, applicable and you delivered it in a fun and insightful way.”

Dan | Pool Professionals

“I attended MillsWyck Communication’s 2-day “Powerful, Persuasive Speaking” workshop. Wow. I’ve taken several very good public speaking courses in the past, but Alan’s class brought it all together for me. It made things click. It was like watching magic as Alan coached the participants—every single person improved dramatically. And the skills taught benefited not only formal public speaking, but interviews, meeting facilitation, and everyday conversations. I highly recommend Alan Hoffler and MillsWyck Communications to experienced speakers, novice speakers, and everyone in between.”

Karin | Clear Sight Consulting

“In all sincerity I write: I have a minor in Speech Communications that was earned by taking 60 hours of college-level courses. That college-level training didn’t come close to the practical skills I learned from Alan Hoffler’s Speaker Circle training at StepUp. I feel more comfortable and competent making presentations as a result of his training. Without exception, I would recommend Alan Hoffler’s training workshops to anyone.”

Linda | Step Up

“Alan Hoffler has been the most popular trainer we’ve ever had. Many of our staff have called me immediately after completing communications training with Alan to say how much they learned from him and how much they enjoyed his training. Alan’s energy, his wit, his many experiences, and his ways of directly involving our staff during his presentations make for truly fun, effective, and memorable training. We highly recommend Alan. ”

D. Clark | FCA

It’s likely a statistical blip. Maybe it’s the phase of the moon. But after years of going without, I’ve been to four funerals in the past six weeks and have three more coming in the next few days/weeks. With one notable exception, these are “expected” deaths;...
