Dr. Renea Skelton
Certified Communication Coach
About
Communication shows up in everything - what you say, what you don’t say, and all the moments where you’re thinking, “why didn’t I just say that?”
Most people I work with aren’t bad at communicating. They’re actually very aware. They know what they want to say… just not always in the moment.
So instead, they overthink. They replay conversations later in the shower. They say it softer than they meant to. Or they don’t say it at all and then feel annoyed about it after.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I’m a Communication Coach, and I help you get out of your head and actually say what you mean - clearly, confidently, and without that spiral of second-guessing afterward.
And no, this isn’t about giving you scripts or turning you into someone you’re not. You don’t need a personality transplant. You need to feel more solid in your own voice.
What makes my work different is that we’re not just fixing one type of conversation. We’re working on how you show up across all of them—whether it’s setting a boundary, speaking up in the moment, or handling something that feels uncomfortable.
We focus on real-life situations, like:
– saying what you actually mean without over-explaining
– speaking up without mentally rehearsing it 47 times first
– handling awkward or hard conversations without shutting down
– feeling like yourself when you talk, not like you’re performing
– saying what you actually mean without over-explaining
– speaking up without mentally rehearsing it 47 times first
– handling awkward or hard conversations without shutting down
– feeling like yourself when you talk, not like you’re performing
My approach is direct, supportive, and very practical. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’m also going to help you move forward - because staying stuck in your head isn’t working.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about communication. It’s about trusting yourself to show up, speak honestly, and not walk away from conversations wishing you had done it differently.
If you’re ready for that, you’re in the right place.
Packages
Let’s Talk
A free, no-pressure call to talk through what’s coming up for you and see what kind of support would actually help.
Say It Better Session - 1 Session
A 60-minute session to help you figure out what to say and how to say it - without overthinking it. Perfect for handling one situation clearly when you don’t want to keep replaying it afterward.

Say It Better - 4 Sessions
Four sessions to help you stop overthinking, speak more clearly, and start handling situations differently. This is where you start breaking the pattern - not just fixing one conversation - and includes a lower per-session rate than booking individually.
Say It Better - 8 Sessions
Eight sessions to help you change how you communicate so things feel more natural and less draining over time. This is where things start to click - and gives you a lower per-session rate with the time to actually shift the pattern.
Say It Better - 12 Sessions
Ongoing support to fully change how you communicate - plus deeper insight into how you’re wired so it actually sticks. This is for when you’re ready to stop circling the same issues - and offers the highest level of support and value.

True Colors Personality Assessment
A personality assessment that helps you finally understand how you communicate, why you respond the way you do, and what’s been getting in your way.
True Colors Personality + Review
The assessment plus a 1:1 review so you don’t just get results - you actually understand how to use them.
Gift a Session
Give someone a 60-minute session to talk through what’s been coming up and get clear on how they want to handle it.

Why You Do What You Do
If you’ve ever wondered why certain conversations feel easy and others don’t, this gives you a clear look at how you communicate and why.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of communication do you help with?
Anything that involves expressing yourself.
That could be speaking up, setting boundaries, handling uncomfortable conversations, or just feeling more confident saying what you mean day-to-day.
What happens in a session?
We focus on real situations from your life.
You bring what’s coming up (or what didn’t go how you wanted), and we work through what’s getting in your way and how you want to handle it differently.
Do you give scripts or tell me exactly what to say?

I don’t do cookie-cutter coaching. You’re not a template, so I don’t treat you like one. Everything we do is tailored to your patterns, your communication style, your stress response, and the things that keep tripping you up. I’m not here to nod politely for an hour - I’m here to help you understand yourself so deeply that your reactions start making sense and your choices get easier.
And I don’t disappear when the session ends. You get:
- Session recordings so you can revisit the work instead of forgetting half of it
- After-session notes with the insights you didn’t catch in real time
- Tools and activities to help you actually apply what we talk about
- Supplemental materials grounded in neuroscience and real-life communication (the stuff most coaches and even therapists don’t provide)
This isn’t surface-level pep talk. This is practical, psychology-backed coaching that helps you regulate your emotions, communicate clearly, stop people-pleasing, and handle life without burning yourself down to the wires.
If you want coaching that actually sticks - not something you forget as soon as the Zoom call ends - that’s what I do.
I overthink everything I say… is this for me?
Yes.
Most of my clients are thoughtful but get stuck in their head. This work helps you feel more steady so you can actually say what you mean.
What if I don’t know exactly what I need help with?
That’s completely fine.
You don’t need to have it all figured out - we’ll figure it out together.
How is this different from therapy?
Therapy often focuses on the past.
This work focuses on how you’re communicating now and what to do differently in real-life situations.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends.
Some people come for a specific situation, others stay longer to build confidence over time. We’ll find what works for you.
Is this only for big, serious conversations?
Not at all.
A lot of the work is around everyday moments - what you didn’t say, how you said it, and how you felt after.
Do you work with teens or younger clients?
Yes, I do work with teens - especially around confidence and communication.
If you’re a parent or teen interested, feel free to reach out first so we can make sure it’s a good fit.
