About Me
From the Classroom to the Boardroom
All speaking is public speaking
Every conversation, every interview, every meeting, every pitch — each one is a moment where your voice either works for you or gets in your way. I help people make it work for them.
I’m Nathalie Mailhot, a speaking and communication coach. For more than 30 years I’ve worked with young people, and today I coach two groups who might look different but need the same thing: teens finding the confidence to be heard, and professionals who need every high-stakes moment to land. What connects them is a belief I’ve built my whole career on — that clear, confident, authentic communication is a skill anyone can learn, not a gift a lucky few are born with.
What I do
I founded the Teen Talk Program to help tweens and teens get rid of the fear that holds them back and discover their authentic voice — in the classroom, in interviews, and in life. It’s grown from a local program in Montreal into work that now reaches internationally.
Through Master Your Authentic Voice, I coach professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs preparing for the moments that matter — keynotes, client pitches, presentations where “winging it” isn’t an option.
And I lead TEDxCabarete, the independently organized TED event I license and produce in the Dominican Republic, where I also coach the speakers who take that stage — the same speaker coaching I bring to TED‑Ed talks and aspiring TEDx presenters.
How I work
I teach by doing. My approach is hands-on, prescriptive, and honest — I’ll tell you frankly what’s working and what isn’t, then give you concrete tools to fix it. The goal isn’t to turn you into someone else. It’s to help you communicate as the calmest, clearest, most confident version of yourself, and to give you a framework you can reuse long after we’ve stopped working together

Our Story: Since 2012
After a vacay of sun, fun & rum with my hubby, we were pleasantly surprised nine months later when our daughter Adèle was born. I knew as a mature mom that I did not want the 9 to 5 rat race. I wanted to be available and present for our daughter. I launched my Master your Authentic Voice business in 2015 to have a more flexible schedule. In 2016, the Teen Talk Program was born. It is my purpose.
I have been fortunate to grow the program internationally. The more teens I can inspire and motivate to speak their truth, the better.
Our Mission & Vision
To make the lessons fun, interactive, diverse – really get them engaged and participating. This is my SUPERPOWER!!! I am here to show them and not tell them!
Having the skill in speaking confidently will empower students to know they can: do anything, go anywhere, be heard and seen.
They won’t shy away from opportunities to step into the light and say pick me!
Let’s connect!
Since 2015, I have been supporting professionals and teens to build their confidence, communicate clearly and say what they need to say and say it well.
