Welcome to Voice First World!
Welcome to Voice First World!
Your first 1:1 session made me more of “me” than slews of coaching I’ve had before.

Hi There! We're Jen V. & JRT
We are on a mission to help leaders gain the confidence to tell a great story, not just to read from a slide deck and fade into the background. We encourage individuals and teams to use their authenticity to speak from the heart, make decisions confidently, and take risks to create change in the world.
We are complete opposites, which is a unique component of our partnership. It allows us to see the complementary (but often hidden) strengths among team members.
Jennifer Vellenga.
