Joshua was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive throughout the process. I felt encouraged and challenged in the best way. The lessons were clear, practical, and helped me gain more confidence. I highly recommend his public speaking sessions to anyone looking to become a more effective and confident speaker.

I have been working with Joshua as my public speaking coach for the past four months, and I can confidently say he is exceptional. His humility, passion for his work, and commitment to delivering high-quality coaching truly set him apart. I initially joined to improve my professional public speaking skills as a business owner, and the transformation I’ve experienced has been nothing short of remarkable. Joshua is not only knowledgeable but also deeply dedicated to helping his clients grow. His course material is excellent, well-structured, and insightful, but what makes him truly unique is his ability to tailor lessons to your needs and goals. He knows exactly what he’s talking about and delivers feedback that is constructive, to the point, and immensely valuable. His assignments go beyond just improving your public speaking skills—they’re designed to enrich your understanding of important topics and current events, which makes the learning process even more engaging and impactful. It’s clear that Joshua genuinely loves what he does, and this passion reflects in the way he creates a friendly, familial environment where you feel supported and encouraged every step of the way. I have no doubt that I’ll continue working with Joshua for a long time, and I also plan to get my team coached by him. His flexibility, patience, and genuine joy in watching his students improve make him one of the best coaches anyone could ask for. If you’re looking to improve your public speaking skills—whether for personal growth, professional success, or both—Joshua is the coach you need. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is serious about becoming a more confident and impactful speaker. You won’t be disappointed!

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!

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!

Coach Schulman is the best! He’s highly personalized, excellent with correspondence, and a pro in the chess and public speaking arena. He’s relatable, humorous, understanding, flexible, and compassionate. I will always hold Coach Schulman dear to me. I also appreciate how he introduced me to chess. This is a coaching experience you won’t want to miss. 10/10 highly recommend 🤍

Coach Joshua Schulman, SCi LLC's reply
It's wonderful how you were open to all my speech skill-building ideas, such as chess. Chess, like public speaking, employs similar brain patterns, where one responds, "Oh, I didn't mean to do that " (and, like in speech), "Oh, I didn't mean to say that!"
