Your Communication Coach

Anna Scoby

Welcome, I am Anna, your coach for the next 10 weeks as we learn to Speak Up & Stand Out.

I specialize in taking away the intimidating factors of Public Speaking and College Interviews. I believe that effective communication and the ability to tell stories about ourselves make a difference and affect future success.

I am professional, as I have 10 years of experience in Corporate America. Last 7 years I have been teaching Public Speaking, College Interviewing Techniques, and soft skills to kids of all ages. I developed unique classes to engage my students and get results.

I am a parent of two, 10 and 22 years old. I know firsthand the struggle parents face with kids and the challenges kids go through, from finding friends to getting into colleges. I am a proud parent of Columbia Law Student.

I am a communicator and an award-winning speaker and believe in the power of words. After all, with just words, we can fall in love, start a war, find friends, and destroy self esteems. I have been competing, presenting, coaching, training for over 20 years.

I love what I do. My classes are practical, engaging, hands-on, and fun. They are about my students and for my students.
