I spent 10 weeks working with Joshua Schulman on my public speaking, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Joshua is energetic, positive, and constructive. He makes it easy to learn and improve. I learned a tremendous amount during our time together and saw a real improvement in my
public speaking.

I'd highly recommend Joshua to anyone, at any level, who wants to become a better speaker.

He is a true professional. I would highly recommend his services!

Wedding toasts and speeches are so important in our lives. I'm thrilled you took the honor so seriously, Mary! I call this SAY A FEW WORDS. Life is full of wonderful and meaningful public speaking opportunities. Some of these are more than requests. They are responsibilities!

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.

Watching you not only step outside your comfort zone but flourish has been wonderful to see, Michael.

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.
