About Us

Level Up My Skills began as a tool to help people build their presentation skills. Our landmark workshop, Level Up Your Presentation Skills, has helped a variety of professionals gain confidence, design better slide decks, and engage audiences. Some of our graduates have gone on to be featured keynote speakers!

Eva Reid and Jami Dennis, founders and notable "Speech Geeks", bring more than 40 years of experience in teaching, presenting, visualizing data, networking, and leading to help you build skills that stick and results that show. 

Today our workshops include not only our popular presentation skills but we've also added workshops to help you build data visualization skills, networking skills, and other professional development essentials.
