I had an excellent experience with SCI, and I can’t say enough positive things about working with Joshua Schulman as a Communication and Speech Coach. From the very beginning, Joshua was easy to work with, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Public speaking and presentations can feel intimidating—especially for those who are nervous or lack confidence—but Joshua has a unique ability to make these topics feel accessible and manageable. He breaks down communication techniques in a way that feels practical and relevant, helping you apply them not just in presentations, but in everyday conversations and professional situations as well. Joshua is highly engaging and professional, yet never overwhelming. His coaching style creates a supportive environment where you feel encouraged to step outside your comfort zone while building real skills. The techniques he teaches are clear, relatable, and immediately useful, which makes the learning process both effective and empowering. If you’re looking to improve your communication, gain confidence in public speaking, or simply become a more effective presenter, SCI—and especially Joshua Schulman—is an outstanding choice.

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Schulman public speaking classes. His structured, engaging approach—blending practical skills with current affairs—made each session relevant and insightful. His precise feedback, often delivered with subtle humor, helped me improve clarity and confidence. I highly recommend his classes.

Okay, seriously, hiring Joshua was the best accidental career and life hack I’ve made all year. I initially just wanted to fix my public speaking, but I ended up getting a masterclass in everything from psychology and cultural nuances to handling workplace politics, we talked about everything! I was tired of being the ‘doer’ who got steamrolled by the ‘talkers’. I had the technical rigor, but zero fluency in the social and strategic ‘blabla’ that actually moves the needle. Joshua helped me connect the dots. He taught me how to take my bias for action and weaponize it with unflappable composure in any room. Whether it’s a high-stakes executive meeting or just a challenging social event, I now have much more confidence to own my narrative. If you’re a builder who needs to level up your entire social and executive bandwidth, not just your slides, he’s the one. He gave me the confidence to control my own game, be my own boss, stop unnecessary friction, and let my execution shine.

I appreciate, Sherry, that you've found such value in using your powerful new communication skills in every area of your work, life, and play. Shine on!

It was a great experience working with Josh. I already had experience with public speaking, but was looking for a coach that could help me refine my delivery and content. Josh was able to quickly evaluate my style and strengths, and brought a structured approach to organizing key messages, being more impactful, using good pauses and body language, and being award of the room. I really appreciate the creative ideas and fresh perspectives. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone looking to polish their public speaking skills, and grow in confidence and clarity.

Finding an effective structure and process flow in speech preparation is essential. Wonderful working with you, Nisha!

Coach Joshua is truly the best in the business. ​I had zero public speaking experience and was tasked with officiating my best friend's wedding in less than a month. Joshua's service and guidance were outstanding. Not only did I feel completely prepared, but I far exceeded my expectations with my performance. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking public speaking help.

Coach Joshua Schulman, SCi LLC's reply
Public Speaking is everything in our lives! Work presentations, facilitating meetings, BUT also giving toasts, eulogies, and even making memories by officiating friends' weddings. I'm so glad you were there for your best friend in this honorable way, Sheldon. Glad to be of service!
