Public Speaking Training for Professional Impact

About Lyka Ferry

Lyka Ferry is a speaker and coach with a heart for neurodivergent professionals + entrepreneurs on their public speaking journeys. She’s coached employees at companies like SalesForce and Meta and has been featured for keynotes, workshops, and training programs across the nation.

She started her public speaking journey when she mistook the “Forensics” (Speech and Debate) team for a medical course her Freshman year of High School. As an entrepreneur, she got her start in content marketing, primarily freelancing as an SEO content writer. Her work naturally gravitated towards working with coaches, consultants, and other service-based businesses with a heart for people.

Lyka’s transition into professional development and public speaking coaching was inspired by her own yearning to speak up and represent fellow women in color on unconventional life paths. Her projects led her to boot-strapping multiple podcasts and developing online and in-person communities.

When Lyka isn’t working with clients, she’s at networking events across Las Vegas getting immersed in her local communities and connecting people together. She leads the Young Entrepreneurs program at Social Register Network and hosts the podcast “Burning Well”.

Lyka is a first-generation entrepreneur and U.S. Army veteran. Her hope is that in helping fellow professionals and business owners overcome their fear of public speaking, the more good people can serve others.

Speaking is an instrument of service.

Communication connects an individual to the world, and as professionals and entrepreneurs, our work makes up our world. Whether you’re called to speak for the stage, a podcast, a pitch, or a team, all good speaking begins at the same place:

YOU

Confident speakers first master the way they speak to themselves. Your inner voice (what I like to call your inner monologue) tunes your outward performance. That’s why the speakers you feel most moved by seem like they shine from within — like they’re stoked by an internal fire.

Just as the first humans were afraid of fire before they learned how to harness it, the process of turning your fear of public speaking into service is the same.

I’ve worked with hundreds of students across various professions, businesses, neurodivergence, cultures, and backgrounds in transforming their fear of public speaking into an instrument of service. I work with individuals who aren’t just preparing to present — they’re preparing to serve.

If that’s why you’re here, let’s get connected.

TESTIMONIALS

I can't say enough good things about my coach, Lyka! She has been an invaluable resource in helping me navigate work challenges, improve my confidence, and achieve professional growth. From our very first session, Lyka was incredibly personable and easy to talk to.

She took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand my goals, and then provided practical advice and strategies that were tailored specifically to my needs. One of the things that I appreciate most about Lyka is her ability to help me see things from a different perspective. She has a way of challenging me to think outside the box and consider new possibilities that I may not have otherwise explored.

Thanks to Lyka's guidance and support, I have been able to overcome some major work challenges and develop new skills that have helped me to excel in my chosen field. I have also noticed a significant improvement in my confidence level, which has made a huge difference in how I approach my work and interact with my colleagues. Overall, I would highly recommend Lyka to anyone who is looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, personable, and truly invested in helping their clients achieve success.

  • "As I was building something from scratch I questioned myself at every step. Lyka was a lifesaver in instilling confidence: even if I'm taking a different path to a solution it doesn't make it wrong. I had to give a speech and a meeting in the same day I was able to handle both and succeed with flying colors."
