ABOUT ALEX COHEN
Alex believes you don’t need to become a great speaker—you already are one. You just need to access what’s already inside you. He combines his studies in communication sciences with over 10 years of coaching experience to help executives overcome speaking anxiety, think on their feet, and become master storytellers. With The Asbury Group, Alex takes an authentic, upbeat, and disarming approach to coaching. No rigid scripts. No forced poses. Just real strategies that tap into your natural strengths.
