Looking for professional development opportunities for your team?


I create custom, immersive learning experiences that help teams develop public speaking and presentation skills. Whether your team wants to share work more clearly, gain confidence on stage, or strengthen overall communication skills, these workshops are tailored to meet your team’s unique needs.

My Focus: Strategy + Skill-Building

Every team has a story worth sharing, about your impact, your mission, your work, your people. But sharing that story with clarity and confidence requires practice, intention, and the right support.

These workshops are designed to help teams:

  • Communicate your organization's work with more clarity and impact

  • Strengthen presentation and storytelling skills

  • Build confidence when speaking to colleagues, leadership, or external audiences

  • Develop the tools to deliver effective, engaging presentations

  • Create shared language and practices that support a culture of strong communication

 

Whether it’s a one-time workshop or a multi-session learning program, every experience is customized. 

SIGNATURE WORKSHOPS
Storytelling Like Our Abuelitas: Strategies for Storytelling on Stage  

Our culturas remain so strong within us because of the stories that our elders tell us. The conversations, the early mornings & late nights over a cup of cafecito de olla. The art of public speaking is something we grow up with and it helps us hold on to the beautiful parts of our families & cultures. While our abuelitas stories are not in textbooks or her methods of communication aren’t often studied or praised in the art of public speaking,  they live within us and the power with which they were told, is a direct connection to our own power as public speakers.

In this workshop, we’re channeling our abuelitas form of story-telling to inform how we tell our story. We’ll explore story-telling techniques, structure, and give you an outline to tell your story (stories), con poder y cultura.

How to Make Workshops Engaging & Impactful Learning Experiences

Yes, this is a workshop about how to give a workshop. I'll share my framework for workshop development that asks you to keep the following question in mind: Can I show you, instead of tell you? If I can't show you and I have to tell you, can you do​​

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS 

Jonathan Nussur, Non-Profit Leader 

We are so grateful for our time with Yvonne Armenta! Yvonne led a three-part public speaking and communication workshop series, for our leadership team at Stiles Hall. Our goal was to revamp our presentations to better connect with the 1st generation, low-income K–12 and community college students we serve, by simplifying our storytelling, making our slides more engaging, and strengthening our pacing and delivery.

What made Yvonne stand out was her ability to meet each team member exactly where they were. She conducted both group and individual assessments, then provided tailored feedback that built on each person’s strengths. The workshops were hands-on, filled with practical strategies for staying on track, capturing audience attention, and pacing effectively.

The growth was tangible. From our first session to our final PechaKucha presentations, we saw sharper storytelling, cleaner visuals, and greater confidence across the team. Public speaking and communication can be nerve-wracking but we had so much fun throughout this process. Yvonne’s approach was not only engaging and highly personalized but also transformative. I would recommend her without hesitation to any team or organization looking to elevate their communication skills and deliver impactful presentations.

My Experience: Tech + Comms Strategy + Speaking

I’m a public speaking consultant, national keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator with experience supporting teams across corporate spaces, nonprofits, ERGs, and universities. My background in internal communications in tech, where I wrote speeches, shaped communication strategy, and built community across remote and in-person teams, deeply informs my approach.

I blend strategy, storytelling, and culturally grounded teaching to help people communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. I’ve helped leaders, professionals, and students take the mic with intention and share their work in a way that truly connects.
