Clarity Up LLC is a consulting firm that teaches experts, leaders, and speakers how to clearly communicate their big ideas with confidence and earn buy-in from the people who matter most. We specialize in core messaging and, specifically, communication design - how a speech or presentation is structured.

We work with academics, researchers, executives, industry authorities, sales professionals, and thought leaders to drive action on their projects and ideas.

Yes, but with a caveat. Most programs that help people make money speaking make outrageous claims about what’s possible in short time frames. The truth is, the speaking industry is built on relationships, and relationships take time.

We help aspiring speakers build their core messaging, create clear and compelling marketing assets, and build a personalized plan for outreach and networking that, when executed well and with patience, turns into paid speaking.

Yes. We help anyone in a sales capacity be a clear and compelling communicator. In the case of nonprofits, the audience are potential donors and the action you’re seeking is a donation. So we work backwards from that goal in order to produce a presentation that earns buy-in and drive donations.

Yes, but probably not the way you think. We believe that anxiety around public speaking doesn’t come from avoiding saying “um” and “ah”, learning how to breathe, or plant your feet properly. Sure - those can all help. But 90% of your confidence as a speaker actually comes from the message structure itself. Get the structure right and watch your nerves (mostly) melt away. For the other 10%, you’ll work with our world class presentation skills coach.
