Specialties
Speak Y’all is a Pittsburgh-based public speaking, executive communication, ADHD, and career coaching business founded by Sammie Walker Herrera. Sammie helps executives, founders, leaders, and professionals communicate with more clarity, confidence, and impact, especially when ADHD, fast-moving thoughts, nerves, or pressure make it harder to express what they already know.
Coaching can help with organizing thoughts, reducing rambling, speaking more concisely, improving presentation skills, answering questions on the spot, storytelling, pacing, interview preparation, and communicating confidently in meetings, pitches, presentations, and other high-pressure situations.
As a certified ADHD coach, Sammie uses a practical, strengths-based approach designed for neurodivergent professionals, multilingual professionals, and immigrants who want to communicate more effectively without changing who they are. Speak Y’all focuses on personalized practice, feedback, and repeatable strategies that help clients communicate their expertise clearly and confidently.
