Media & Performance Coaching

I help people present the best version of themselves.

Everyone needs to be able to express themselves — for work, in their personal lives, or on camera. I make sure people are telling the right parts of their story, and telling it well.

Amanda Schatz Kitaeff · Founder

My specialty has always been finding the talents people have that they don’t realize are there — and pulling those things out. Even the most talented people have a hard time telling their stories in a way that’s authentic and compelling to others.

What I do

Presentation and communication, everywhere that matters.

There are a lot of smart, interesting, accomplished and talented people who have no idea how to present themselves. I work with performers, executives, students, job-seekers — and regular people — to tell their story clearly and with confidence. I build a program around your specific goals, deadlines, and what I think you most need to work on — so you leave equipped to do this on your own.

On camera & media

Appearances and interviews where how you come across is the whole point.

Auditions & performance

Finding what’s distinctive in you and making it land in the room.

Public speaking

Stage-ready presence for talks, panels, and events.

Interviews & pitching

Job interviews and pitching ideas — saying the right thing, well.

Executive presence

Representing yourself or your brand when you need to be camera- and stage-ready.

Social & YouTube

Showing up as your best self on the platforms where people find you.

Who I’ve worked with

My clients come from the top of their fields — and my work has taken me across the ones where how you present yourself decides everything.

How I work

Considered, one-on-one, and built around you.

01

One-on-one, by design. The work is personal, so I keep it that way.

02

Mostly remote. Reflecting how communication actually happens now.

03

Selective. I take on a limited number of people, so the ones I do get my full attention.

Background

A career spent on the other side of the table.

Before I coached talent, I found and developed it — casting, series development, and representation at some of the industry’s defining companies. I know what people on the other side are actually looking for, because I was one of them.
