Powerful & Poised

Powerful & Poised is a platform founded by spoken word poet Tricia Veldman - aka Pati the Poetess.
Powerful & Poised is a platform dedicated to promoting deep authenticity via unique avenues of creative expression most connected to each individual’s core self.
Have you ever encouraged someone to do something only to have them do it…better than you?
Did you feel jealous? Proud? A little of both?
As a coach and poet I experience this a lot…
It used to make me uncomfortable training someone to become “more successful” than I am. At this point, though, I’ve learned to celebrate it ✨
There’s no such thing as “better” anyway. We’re all one unit - the sum of its parts 💕
Agree? Or am I wacko?
For this and more increasingly vulnerable and honest poems, stay tuned for my new book 👀 coming in September 🌹
Performed this one live for the first time at Emerald Coast Storytellers open mic 🎤
Dying Regrets… ✨
One of the poems I shared at open mic last week with Emerald Coast Storytellers 🎙️
Swipe to see my fifth grade self as Betty Jo Dale 🥹 the performance that inspired this poem ✨
What did YOU love to do between 7 and 11?
Thank you for a magical open mic! 🎤
The video is so shaky because my dad was THAT nervous on my behalf 😅
Haven’t done one of these in a while…
I performed this poem at open mic a few months ago but never got a video. So here’s the selfie version ✨

Why do some speakers make interesting content sound dull, while others we could listen to read the phone book?
It all comes down to one thing: speaking dynamics.
It’s not about being a naturally gifted storyteller - there are actually a ton of simple techniques that can help pull people in (and keep them there).
If you’re ready to become not just a good speaker, but a captivating one, this workshop is for you!
This is actually my *favorite* topic to teach because every time I do, my clients say, “that was our most fun lesson!”
