About Julie
Julie Teicher
Communication Specialist
Public Speaking Professional
Founder & CEO
I successfully instruct and train students, professionals, and business owners to enhance their presentation skills, build speech confidence, attain conflict resolution, and develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships.
How It Started
I was just like you prior to my first college presentation.
My adrenaline was pumping, my palms were sweating, and I was anticipating ANY possible scenario that could go wrong:
"Will I forget what to say?"
"What if they don't like me?"
"What if they can figure out that I am nervous?"
Despite all of my self-perpetuating fears, I successfully delivered my first speech! I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. This was just the beginning of the next 17 years of my new dedication to the field of Communication.
After that first dreaded speech, I went on to deliver 17 more speeches. Over that period of time, my insecurities developed into pure confidence; I actually learned to LOVE Public Speaking!
Education
After discovering my passion for public speaking, I decided that I wanted to continue my education in the field of Communication, with the overall goal of helping others conquer their fears. I went on to receive my graduate degree from New York University's Steinhardt School of Education in Speech and Interpersonal Communication.
Career & Experience
Since graduation, I have instructed Communication courses at many institutions throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including: Temple University, Rider University, Monmouth University, Brookdale Community College, Mercer County Community College, and Rowan College at Burlington County.
In addition to Public Speaking, I have also instructed other eminent Communication skills including: Communication Ethics, Conflict Resolution, and Issues in Intercultural Communication. As of this date, I have successfully instructed over a thousand college students. Additionally, I have trained professionals and business owners in their presentation skills (including effective visual presentations), methods in conflict resolution, as well as in how to develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships with their clients and/or patients.
Some professional highlights, include:
- Instructing and training a student to successfully present a TED Talk at a TEDx Event in front of a live audience
- Entering elementary school students into a national high school speech competition at Harvard University
- Providing expertise as a judge for the Future Business Leaders of America competition and the National Forensics League
