Speaker Coach & Storytelling Expert
BIO
Nikki DiLoreto is a director and speaker coach who helps leaders, founders, and creatives speak with clarity, presence, and purpose—whether they’re stepping onto a stage, into a boardroom, or in front of a camera.
With over a decade of experience directing Tony- and Pulitzer-nominated productions and coaching top performers in the U.S. and U.K., Nikki brings a rare blend of creative rigor and human insight to the coaching room.
Today, she draws on that same expertise to guide speakers in owning their voice, refining their message, and commanding a room. Nikki is a proud collaborator with the Strictly Speaking Group, where she coaches executives, entrepreneurs, and artists through high-stakes talks, investor pitches, and live events. She brings the tools of the rehearsal room—curiosity, specificity, and emotional truth—to each coaching session.
Her question in every engagement is the same:
What’s the story only you can tell—and how do we make it land with power?
Her clients have included Emmy Award-winning journalists, entrepreneurs on the Forbes list, Tony Award-winning actors and MBA candidates. She offers one-on-one coaching, team workshops, and creative consulting for leaders and organizations ready to level up their communication.
Approachable, skilled, and endlessly adept, Nikki’s coaching will help unleash your most impactful self.
