Public Speaking Without Freaking
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.

About Host Jordan Friedman
Jordan is known as The Stress Coach, a career path that likely started when one of the world’s largest brain tumors was discovered in his head at age 10. The resulting, nonstop stress continued through college until he reluctantly enrolled in a stress management class that led to much less stress, a degree in public health, a job as Columbia University’s health education director and now a career as a global stress management speaker, trainer and author. For 25 years, Jordan’s been privileged to help and learn from 9/11 survivors, teachers, CEOs, police officers, incarcerated adults, students and lots of other stressed people who want to be more successful, get better grades, sleep easier and be healthier.
In 2004, Jordan founded The Stress Coach to provide innovative workshops, multimedia webinars, chill apps, online courses and more stress-relief opportunities. The Chill Factory podcast is Jordan’s latest effort to bring stress relief and better health to the world.
