The Confident Speaker: Master meetings and presentations with calm, clear, credible delivery

Erica Arevalo is a communication coach, keynote speaker, and founder of Clear Voice Consulting, where for more than fifteen years she has helped professionals speak with confidence in meetings, presentations, and high-stakes conversations. Her clients range from first-time managers and engineers to executive teams at technology, financial services, and healthcare organizations. Before founding her firm, Erica spent a decade leading marketing and client-communication teams at global consulting companies, where she learned early that technical expertise is rarely what holds professionals back — the willingness to speak up is. She has delivered keynotes and workshops across North America and Europe, and her writing on communication and leadership has appeared in business publications.

The seeds of her method came from her own struggles: she once gave a product demonstration so quietly that a client asked if she was feeling well. That humbling moment became the foundation of her coaching practice and the reason every technique she teaches is first tested in real rooms before it reaches a client. Erica believes confident speaking is a learnable skill rather than an inborn trait, and that the most important audience is the one in your everyday working life. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her family. *The Confident Speaker* is her first book.
