The truth always shows up. Make sure you do too.

 

Before stepping up to speak, the brain loves to throw in the jab: Don’t blow it. We make sure you don’t.
At DBI, we don’t cover that up with tricks or canned confidence. We teach you how to show up—messy, human, and prepared enough to handle whatever comes your way.

Our initiatives:

  • Presence LAB — workshops and coaching on how you actually show up in a room (body, voice, message).

  • Nervous to Nailing It — an intensive for anyone who sweats at the thought of public speaking.

  • Organizational trainings — programs that give teams and companies a shared language for communication.

We’re not here to turn you into a performer. We’re here to strip away the noise so your presence, your message, and your truth land every single time.

Who is DBI

I'm Amy, and I’m DBI. That doesn’t mean I’m here to give you a polished performance or a bunch of canned tips. I’ve spent the last 15+ years working with people in education, tech, healthcare, and business who were tired of second-guessing themselves every time they had to speak up.

This isn’t about tricks for the stage or pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about cutting through the noise, finding what actually works for you, and using it anywhere you need it — in a meeting, on a call, in front of a client, or on a stage.

If you want “perfect,” I’m not your person. If you want communication that’s real, that people actually pay attention to, and that you don’t have to fake — well, that's what I deliver.

The DBI Story

DBI — short for Don’t Blow It — was born out of 15+ years of watching smart people sabotage themselves by trying to perform instead of communicate. I’ve worked in education, tech, healthcare, and business, and the same truth shows up everywhere: presence isn’t about perfection or polish, it’s about being real. DBI exists to help people stop second-guessing and start connecting — in the room, on the call, or on the stage.
