Who I work with

You've mastered the work. Now let's work on the room.

Some of my clients have risen quickly and are now leading teams, running meetings, and giving speeches on a much bigger stage. Others are mid-career professionals with a leadership role in sight and a clear picture of how they want to show up.

All of them are smart, accomplished, and ready for their presence to shine as brightly as their expertise. Together we write the script, rehearse the moments that matter, and find a delivery that sounds like you. Think of it as a rehearsal room for leadership: creative, practical, and a lot more fun than you'd expect.

From the stage to the boardroom

Meet Debbie Finkelstein

I'm the founder of Fireworks Communication Consultants, and I bring a unique background in theater, entrepreneurship, and teaching to every client. After more than fifteen years of teaching public speaking and serving as a TEDx Speaker Catalyst, I know what makes an audience lean in. My MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College gives me a storyteller's imagination, and my MBA in progress at Boston University gives me a strategist's plan. You get both.

That mix of arts and business shapes everything I do: stories that stick, plans that are clear, and teams that talk to each other. My rooms are relaxed, a little playful, and always focused on results, because people take risks and grow when they feel at ease.

How it works

Four steps to your strongest voice

A simple, collaborative path, whether it's one-on-one consulting or a team workshop.

Talk

We start with a conversation about your goals, your team, and what success looks like.

Plan

I design an approach around your real calendar, team, or event.

Practice

We try things, play with ideas, and get practical feedback on the moments that matter.

Shine

You show up clearer, bolder, and more connected, as yourself.

For HR leaders & event planners

Training people look forward to

Workshops, conference sessions, and multi-week courses that are hands-on and interactive, with plenty of room to talk, try things, and play. People will laugh. They'll remember it. And they'll put it to use the very next day.
