certified virtual presenter

I am so glad you are here! I am Meridith Grundei, a public speaking coach and change maker.

As an award-winning theatre director, producer, and former Second City improv teacher, I recognized the similarities between performing for audiences on stage every night and presenting to clients/colleagues every day, but the latter didn't have the right tools to bring their stories to life. So I decided to do something about it.

​I specialize in presentation and public speaking consultation, individual training and development, and creative team solutions using improvisational theatre techniques to build trust, empathy, and out-of-the-box thinking.

11 Years and some change later, Grundei Coaching has helped thousands of individuals and corporations craft engaging presentations and authentic stories to achieve career growth and success.

I'd love for you to be next!

My past clients include MERCER, CenturyLink, CU LEEDS School of Business, Snooze Eatery, DePuy, Johnson&Jonson, SurveyGizmo, CEAVCO, RAPT Media, HDM, Paradigm, FLOYDS, Network Affiliates and many others.
