What does communications coaching look like in a highly distracted era?

You and I in the driver’s seat. AI as co-pilot.

For over 20 years, Jen Reidy has partnered with executives, founders, and teams to help them create and deliver stories and messages that are intentional, memorable, and unmistakably them.

Jen has built customized media coaching, speaker training, and executive coaching programs for individuals and teams at global firms including Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, Autodesk, Getty Images, Tubi, Elastic, and Organic - as well as a long roster of early stage companies and non-profits.

Her work focuses on helping leaders move from ho-hum to hell yes - thought-leadership strategic content and elevated delivery that feels natural, lands emotionally, and actually gets remembered.

How has this work evolved using AI. How has it stayed the same.

Jen has been using AI selectively for sometime. Her expansion of this tool is giving clients more hyper-personalized content options, faster. AI will never replace me.

Jen’s a seasoned coach and former spokesperson that “gets it.” She knows what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera, stage, or tough question. Those experiences have shaped how she coaches - with a deep focus on audience needs, mental preparation, memorable authentic content, and delivery that breaks through.
