Biography

With thousands of entrepreneurs and nonprofit professionals entering the workforce every day, the need to stand up and be heard has never been more critical.

Knowing how to genuinely deliver intentions from the heart or effectively promote a business in a natural and lively manner is the essence of outstanding communication. The old way of presenting hyped-up promises turns most people off. The sage from the stage has turned into the guide from the side. The speaker who can relate and connect is the one who will earn the business.

Pamela Ziemann has skillfully shared her vast knowledge and expertise through an easy-to-learn program of interactive exercises for over ten years. She guides people with a combined temporal and spiritual approach that focuses on the space between words. She has an uncanny way of playfully daring each person to reveal his or her natural brilliance. Her clients become powerfully present and naturally fearless right from the very first session.

Growing up, she was incredibly perceptive. That was the good news and the bad news. Yes, she was a keen observer, but also had a very hard time expressing her insights. Feeling frustrated and isolated well into adulthood, she was determined to turn her life around.

She spent over a decade on a personal and spiritual quest, traveling and living in other parts of the world. It was there she found her answer and it proved to be deceptively simple. Connecting with others is where it's at.

Pamela decided to create a judgment-free space that welcomes individuality and brings out everyone's creative genius. Pamela also realized that the true risk-takers are small business people and entrepreneurs who put everything on the line to stand up and be counted. She refocused her life's purpose to facilitate full self-expression to these extraordinary people.

Pamela is an international speaker, trainer and coach who has changed countless lives with her dedication and love for the free spirit.
