Sharon Jakubecy

Sharon Jakubecy is a keynote speaker, executive presence trainer, and communication coach whose career has been shaped by a lifelong passion for healing, movement, and performance. As a child, she dreamed of discovering a cure for cancer, driven by a deep desire to help people transform their lives. That purpose eventually led her to meditation, dance, theater, and ultimately the Alexander Technique, where she found a powerful connection between the body, the nervous system, and human potential. Sharon studied modern dance and choreography in college before directing plays and spending years immersed in performance arts, experiences that laid the foundation for her dynamic work helping others command a stage with authenticity and confidence. Today, she combines those disciplines into a unique approach that empowers professionals to communicate with greater clarity, influence, and presence.
For more than two decades, Sharon has coached performers, executives, sales teams, and corporate leaders to move beyond fear, shutdown, and self-doubt so they can communicate with confidence under pressure. Through her signature program, Speak with Impact & Influence, she trains professionals to strengthen executive presence, deliver compelling presentations, and speak with authority in high-stakes environments. As a certified Mic Drop WorkFORCE facilitator and host of the Los Angeles chapter of Mic Drop Club, Sharon has created supportive spaces where women practice using their voices boldly and authentically. Her corporate and wellness training work has included partnerships with organizations such as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Media Arts Lab, Grifols, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, helping teams improve communication, leadership impact, and performance under pressure.
Sharon’s background coaching performers connected to shows including The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Scandal, True Blood, and Dancing with the Stars gives her a distinctive perspective on presence and performance that she now translates into practical tools for business communication and leadership. Her expertise has been featured in NPR, HuffPost, Inc., and Backstage. Whether she is leading a keynote, facilitating a workshop, or mentoring women stepping onto a stage for the first time, Sharon remains driven by the same passion that first inspired her as a young performer: helping people stop shrinking, fully own their voice, and boldly take up space.
