About PASS Profile™ and its partners

---

Background

With nearly four decades of experience in vocal coaching and music education, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals discover, develop, and share their authentic voices. In 2023, after relocating and establishing my vocal coaching business, Ted's Voice Academy, in Lacey, WA, I identified a significant need for vocal coaching in public speaking within my community. Leveraging my extensive experience in teaching voice and presentation skills, I realized that these skills were highly transferable to the realm of public speaking.

The Birth of the PASS Profile

Early in my work as a speaking coach, I saw the necessity for an assessment tool to understand clients' strengths and areas for development better. This insight led to the creation of the Personal Authentic Speaking Style (PASS) PASS Profile™. Over several months, I developed, tested, and refined this tool, which has since proven revolutionary in professional communication. Recognizing its potential across various fields—public speaking, business coaching, politics, medicine, non-profits, education, and more—I partnered with an automation team to make the PASS Profile™ widely accessible.

Expertise and Methodology

My background which includes decades of professional teaching and coaching of thousands of people, as well as my own performance skills, and being a National Board Certified teacher, equips me with the skills to offer expert teaching, coaching, and guidance. Rooted in an "asset-based" belief system inspired by the Clifton Strengths paradigm, the PASS Profile™ emphasizes helping individuals understand and leverage their inherent strengths in communication. This approach fosters greater confidence, trustworthiness, and effectiveness in professional interactions.

In addition to identifying and enhancing innate strengths, my coaching addresses essential mechanics of speaking such as projection, clarity, pacing, expression, and organization. My extensive background in vocal pedagogy and high-level performance coaching seamlessly translates to the realm of public speaking.

Client Success and Impact

Through my speaking coaching, I have assisted a diverse range of clients, including entrepreneurs, public speakers, financial advisors, insurance salespeople, leaders, and medical professionals. The success stories emerging from my coaching reflect the transformative power of understanding and harnessing one's authentic speaking style.
