The Speech Coach: Mastering Communication for Founders & CEOs
Description
In this episode of Founders Future, host Olivia Sammons sits down with Vinny Raval, internationally known as The Speech Coach. Vinny shares his unique journey from a childhood passion for acting and an early proficiency with languages—including sign language learned to communicate with his deaf uncle—to becoming a speech and language therapist. He reveals the pivotal decision he made at the start of his degree to combine his clinical knowledge with his performing arts background, setting him on the path to founding his company and specializing in helping professionals master their communication.
Vinny delves into his work with founders and C-suite executives, helping them overcome mental blocks and "bust myths" to deliver powerful, authentic presentations that build trust and influence. He discusses the challenges and rewards of being a solopreneur, his effective use of Google Ads and LinkedIn for international client acquisition, and his ambitious plans for the future. These include launching an online course, writing a book, expanding his boutique studio, and tackling the complex question of how to scale his unique, bespoke coaching methodology without diluting the brand's integrity.
