You don't need to be a professional speaker to get help from a public speaking coach - any kind of speaking situation can be improved - from Father of the Bride speeches to Funerals.

A public speaking coach isn't trying to turn you into a TED talk expert (although they could). They want you to feel confident as a public speaker and they want you to sound authentic when you are speaking in public.
