About Tricia Veldman

Spoken Word Artist ~ Writer ~ Speech Coach ~ TEDx Speaker

Founder of Powerful & Poised (www.powerfulandpoised.com)

I craft and perform original spoken word poetry with the intention to both entertain and inspire listeners. The majority of my poems are rooted in personal development and spirituality - with an artistic flair, of course. I share my original work, along with inspirational videos on general life guidance, on my YouTube and Instagram channels.

Trained as a speech pathologist, I help clients overcome limiting beliefs and improve their confidence while public speaking and through improving the health of their speaking voices. I formerly co-hosted The Lost Art of Communication podcast where we discussed all things - you guessed it - communication.

I gave a TEDx talk inspired by my mother's diagnosis with a terminal illness, which proved to be a powerful shapeshifter of my own perspective. I am passionate about sharing these perspectives with the world, in addition to providing more specific guidance to anyone else navigating the illness of a loved one.

I am incredibly comfortable behind a microphone and would be delighted to speak on your show about any and everything! Also happy to narrow down the focus :)

Thanks for connecting!
