Courses & Workshops
Learn to speak from someone who had to relearn it from scratch.
After years of isolation and illness, I rebuilt my voice completely. What I teach now isn't performance theory — it's the architecture of communication that works even when everything is working against you.

About the instructor
Roi Sternin
Keynote speaker in 27 countries. TEDx. Author of 7 books on patient experience, chronic illness, and health technology.
I've spoken to medical conferences, health tech companies, advocacy organizations, and hospital boards. I've also spoken from a hospital bed with a drip in my arm. Both taught me things the other couldn't.
As a patient engagement consultant and facilitator, I help healthcare teams close the gap between what they think is happening in the room and what patients actually experience. The speaking course is the public-facing version of that work.

Live formats
Workshops & Fireside Chats
Custom sessions for healthcare teams, conferences, and organizations. Built around your specific context — not a deck that gets dusted off between bookings.
Workshop
Half-day or full-day, for teams and organizations.
A working session, not a lecture. Built around a specific problem your team is trying to solve — patient experience gaps, innovation under constraint, building for underserved populations, or communication that actually lands.
- ›In-person or remote
- ›4–8 hours, half or full day
- ›Up to 30 participants
- ›Customized to your organization
Fireside Chat
For conferences, summits, and internal events.
A conversation, not a presentation. I bring the patient perspective, the constraint-based lens, and the willingness to say the things that usually don't get said in those rooms.
- ›45–90 minutes
- ›Moderated or open format
- ›Pairs well with keynote or standalone
- ›Healthcare, health tech, advocacy contexts
Patient Engagement Consulting
Closing the gap between what the system thinks and what patients experience.
Strategic consulting for healthcare organizations, health tech companies, and advocacy groups. I help teams understand what's actually happening in the patient journey — and design for that reality, not the assumed one.
- ›Healthcare organizations & health tech
- ›Patient journey mapping
- ›Communication system design
- ›By inquiry
