Tina Bakehouse, MA

“I am delighted to wholeheartedly recommend Tina Bakehouse for her exceptional work in public speaking and storytelling consulting and coaching through her company, Tina B. LLC. Tina's commitment to protecting audiences from boring speakers is truly commendable. As a communication analyst, she leverages the powerful tool of Keirsey temperament and holistic approaches to guide her clients toward anchoring in their confidence and crafting heart-centered messages with clarity and ease. Inspired by creative visionaries like Jim Henson and Walt Disney, Tina reflects a brand that exudes magnetic energy, practical strategies, and a heart-centered style. She customizes her programs to support leaders in their speaking journey, drawing on her rich academic background in communication studies, psychology, improvisation, and her theatre and storytelling experience. Tina seamlessly blends structured, informed consulting with reflective coaching, transforming her clients to deliver powerfully in their authentic speaker style. Her passion for teaching, storytelling, and creative problem-solving transcends various industries, and she offers her services virtually, on-site at the client's organization, or even at her farm in southwest Iowa—a unique touch that adds to her distinctiveness. Tina's three-step approach—Analyze with Authenticity, Craft Your Content, and Perfect Your Performance—demonstrates her comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of effective communication. In the "Analyze with Authenticity" phase, Tina delves into the client's temperament, communication style, and encourages letting go of conditioned-self. This sets the foundation for tailored communication and psychological strategies. During "Craft Your Content," Tina imparts her experience, including presenting a TEDx talk, to teach clients topic generation, organizational and stylistic patterns, and learning and listening styles. Her storytelling background shines through as she guides clients in creating influential and engaging content. In the "Perfect Your Performance" phase, Tina's Disney Institute training in communication and business comes to the forefront. She helps clients embody their desired presence by understanding themselves, cultivating the right mindset, and practicing breath support. Drawing from her theatre training, improvisation, and performance background, Tina encourages clients to use their voices and bodies to connect with their audience. Tina Bakehouse is a true professional, and her dedication to helping individuals become compelling speakers is evident in the transformative results she achieves. I highly recommend Tina for her expertise, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence in public speaking and storytelling coaching.”
