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.

Self-paced course

ABC of Public Speaking

For people who have something real to say.

A tight, no-fluff course on how to get your real ideas into a room and make them land. Not performance coaching. Not confidence gimmicks. The actual architecture of a talk that works — structure, presence, and the thing most courses never teach: what to do when it's a room that doesn't want to hear you.

What you'll learn

›The one-sentence test: finding what your talk is actually about
›Structure that holds — the three-part frame that works every time
›The opening and closing that most speakers botch
›Presence without performance: what to do with your body, voice, and nerves
›Reading the room without losing your thread
›The hostile room: speaking under constraint (limited time, bad tech, audiences that don't want to be there)
›The Q&A: how to handle the questions that are really arguments

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
