New Mexico Rainforest University Center

Passionate entrepreneurs spend so much time working on their business ventures, but can often feel nervous and tongue-tied when asked to pitch to investors or speak about their businesses in public forums. Join High Performance Coach Ingela Onstad to learn skills to manage anxiety, present clear content, and to use our voices and bodies confidently in high pressure situations.
Ingela Onstad is a High Performance Coach for attorneys, performing artists, executives, and other professionals who are in the public eye.

Her coaching business, Courageous Artistry, supports high performing individuals in their quest to perform at the top of their abilities when in front of the public by working on skills to target voice, body, anxiety-management, and mindset.
