Nikola Jovanovic

I’ve spent the last 13 years helping professionals sound as senior as they actually are. My clients include engineers, managers and executives at Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Visa, plus founders and CEOs who present to boards, investors and the press. Companies also hire me directly to coach their people, including a top European business school and a US economic consulting firm.

My work is built around one idea: people decide whether you’re credible in the first few minutes, mostly from how you speak. So we work on what reads as authority in the room. Pace that doesn’t rush. Pauses that let a point land. A voice that sounds certain without getting louder. Calm, short answers to tough questions. And we do it on your real material: your pitch, your board update, your investor Q&A, your next big presentation.

Many of my clients are non-native English speakers, and that’s where I bring something most executive coaches can’t. If your accent is part of what’s holding back your presence, I can fix that too. My accent clients cut their identified pronunciation mistakes by 60-70% on average in three months. I’m a non-native speaker myself, so I know exactly what it’s like to be judged for how you sound instead of what you think.
