Allow me to introduce you to the visionary force behind it all - Jenn Whitman. With an illustrious 16-year journey as a master coach, Whitman's epiphany for The Speaking Firm unfolded during her tenure as a juror in a high-stakes homicide case in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Talk about a captivating origin story!
Shortly after earning her Master of Fine Arts in Theatre from Brooklyn College, Whitman found herself in a pivotal role - determining the destiny of an individual. What she didn't anticipate was how her fine arts education would equip her to decode body language nuances, decipher vocal cues, and sift the facts from eloquent finesse.
As the trial closed, Whitman and fellow Brooklyn College MFA graduate Jessica Langer, opened shop, determined to equip legal professionals with communication, presentation, and performance competency. After three immersive years within the courtroom realm, a realization dawned - their insights and expertise were transferrable, offering value across a range of industries.
