Krystal Lambert

Entrepreneur, Public Speaking Coach, VP of Marketing & Communications at Divinity Pictures

When did your initial journey begin as a public speaking coach?

For the past 13 years, I’ve had the honor and pleasure of working closely with speakers from various industries and backgrounds, mostly in corporate America – from emerging leaders to president-and CEO-level executives in major Fortune 500 companies, including Disney. Today, I also help other types of speakers. My clients currently include a film producer who has worked years in Hollywood, a bestselling author and public figure, an actress, and entrepreneurs.

What inspired you to become a public speaking coach?

When I was a child, I used to dream of performing. I longed to be an actress, to write, make art, run businesses, and I loved delivering speeches at school. So, naturally, as I grew up, I gravitated toward jobs that incorporated business, art, writing – and the stage.

As fate would have it, one day, I was recommended for a role in executive communications. I became part of one of the best teams of my career in that role, and together, we had the honor of supporting the presidents of Walt Disney World Resort and Disney Parks and Resorts - U.S. and France, along with many other executives throughout the organization. We were responsible for ensuring that our speakers were prepared for and delivered excellent speeches and presentations, as well as promoting the engagements afterward. Collectively, we supported over 100 executive engagements per year – on stage, on camera and more – including the annual Executive Business Update, which included over 400 Florida-site executives. We also coached our executives on public speaking and media training, particularly for leaders who were newly promoted to the executive level.
