Cynthia Oelkers
Cynthia Oelkers wrangles with students and professionals with the goal of shaking off bad communication habits and replacing them with clarity and persuasion.
Her workshops include "Briefing Bootcamps" and "Nine Ways to Turn Heads: Presenting Your Best Self".
Cynthia believes that communication is a SKILL, much like driving a car. To become a master of the vehicle, you must not simply watch the video and take notes; you must get in the car and drive. Her workshops follow suit: everyone is challenged to rise to a new level of communication through practice, application and experience. Participants emerge with a new sense of possibilities, skills, and confidence.
She is co-founder of In The Moment Productions, Inc. and has helped clients such as Planar Systems, The Visiting Nurse Association, The University of Texas, and Dell, Inc. In addition, she has been a professional public speaker for Dell, Inc., and has been training in the corporate and higher-education sectors for ten years. She combines her work as an improvisational comedian, researcher, and business woman to create unique workshop experiences that are insightful, relevant and fun. Cynthia holds a Masters degree in Interpersonal Communication with a focus on Sales and Persuasion from The University of Texas at Austin.
She currently teaches presentational speaking and business communication for managers at St. Edward’s University and LeTourneau University, and contracts to Dell to write and deliver E-Business workshops.
