Tonya knows not everyone is a natural public speaker, and yet everyone needs to communicate with clarity and confidence. One-on-one conversations may come easily, but what happens when you're in a high-stakes meeting or presenting to the entire company? After Tonya’s compelling session, you'll leave with practical tools to speak confidently in any setting, even if you're an introvert.
The Problem: In too many workplaces, great ideas go unheard because the quietest voices stay silent— not from lack of insight, but from feeling overshadowed. The result? Missed innovation and untapped potential.
The Solution: Tonya Lehman delivers an engaging, improv-based experience that helps leaders draw out those voices and equips everyone—especially introverts—to speak with clarity and confidence. Her sessions are interactive, practical, and unforgettable, blending laughter with real-world tools that strengthen trust, spark collaboration, and transform team communication.
How we get them there. Service I provide, and how that gets them the things they want.
Tonya will challenge, inspire and entertain your team with effective research-based strategies. Audience participation presentations that meet each attendee at their own comfort level. keynote, workshops, trainings, coaching.
