Public speaking is feared more than death by most people, yet it's a vital tool for leadership, professional advancement, advocacy and personal relationships. TCF host Jordan Friedman talks with public speaker and public speaking coach Rosemary Ravinal about her inspiring route to her career, the top speaking stressors, how to make them less stressful and much more. After the interview, we sample a new chill album from one of our past Factory guests.

About Guest Rosemary Ravinal + Resources

Rosemary Ravinal is a former international media executive and broadcaster who transitioned to her first love, public speaking, and storytelling. In 2019, she left a prestigious role as vice president of public relations for the entertainment division at Univision Network to establish her consulting practice working with international keynote speakers.

Rosemary believes that there is a dearth of knowledge about how to communicate effectively in business and personal life. That gap in ability to communicate effectively affects careers, businesses, reputations, families, and friendships. Human stories told with heart and authenticity can change the world.  That is her mission.  

In 2020 during the lockdown, she adapted her coaching model for the virtual stage and created the ZoomScore™ based on 10 essential elements of professional video meetings. Her first book, titled "The Joy of Thinking Out Loud," which chronicles her struggles with stuttering, will be published in fall of 2023.

Earlier, Rosemary was a senior corporate communications leader and spokesperson for Fortune 100 companies, non-profit organizations and agencies in New York and South Florida. These include Avon, AT&T, A+E Television Networks, Discovery Channel, Sony Ericsson, and Toyota. She was the first Hispanic contributing news analyst for MSNBC and hosted numerous award-winning radio and TV shows in the New York area.
