Secret Communication Cues Uncovered

You’re a capable professional with valuable ideas—but when it’s time to speak in front of others, it doesn’t always come out the way you want.

Do you…

  • Overthink every sentence

  • Speak too fast or lose your place

  • Feel your nerves take over

  • Leave meetings wishing you had said something differently

  • Know your message is strong but struggle to hold attention

You don’t want to become a “performer.”

You just want to communicate clearly, confidently, and be taken seriously when you speak.

Most public speaking advice focuses on performance tricks instead of the psychology of communication.

You worry that nerves or unclear delivery will make people underestimate your expertise.

Great ideas deserve to be heard—and professionals shouldn’t have to feel intimidated to share them.

I’m Lori Potts

I’ve coached professionals, leaders, and TEDTalk speakers on how to communicate with clarity and influence. But earlier in my career, I struggled with the same things many professionals experience: second‑guessing how I sounded. Replaying conversations. Feeling frustrated when my message didn’t land the way I intended.

So I began studying communication science—psychology, behavioral research, and the subtle cues that shape how people perceive authority. What I discovered is that powerful speakers don’t rely on charisma. They understand the hidden communication cues that influence attention, credibility, and trust.

I coach speakers using science‑based communication frameworks – not just what feels good. Inside my Secret Communication Cues Uncovered program, my signature framework teaches you those exact methods.

My Signature Framework:

Empower, Change, Become

Understand the hidden cues that shape how audiences interpret confidence, authority, and clarity. Built for professionals who want influence without feeling like they’re performing.

Phase 1: Empower

Get clear on your values.

Complete a values assessment so you can lead from your genuine self — not a performance of it.

Authentic influence starts with knowing exactly what you stand for.

Phase 2: Change

Build the plan.

  • Skills assessment — I identify your current strengths and the specific gaps in your public speaking and interpersonal communication
  • Goal-setting — I define clear goals and build an improvement plan based on your assessment
  • Speech editing — Includes 2 hours of speech editing (additional hours available as an add-on)

Phase 3: Become

Put it into practice.

Strengthen your speaking style and delivery through guided exercises and real feedback in weekly 1-hour coaching sessions (11 sessions total).

Includes science-backed strategies to decrease performance anxiety, so nerves stop running the show.
