Jocelyn Chia runs comedy classes at Broadway Comedy Club, and offers private coaching to comedians looking to take their material and career to the next level.  She also runs an all women group coaching container called Women Achieving Dreams www.womenachievingdreams.com

She also draws upon 10 years of experience in law, consulting, corporate, entrepreneurship and sales, as well as her 10 years of experience in comedy, to help people looking to improve their public speaking skills.  She has helped professionals ranging from start-up founders, authors, lawyers and sales executives to polish and add humor to their speeches, presentations, pitches and client interactions. 

 

“I hired Jocelyn to coach me on a pitch I had to deliver for my book, and it was mind-blowing. I expected her to help me with my delivery but her mad skills meant we went far beyond that.  She added jokes to my pitch and made it funnier, and provided insightful feedback on phrasing, timing, attitude and marketing direction.  Her background as an entrepreneur and consultant meant she saw the whole picture and could analyze my marketing easily. Her training as a lawyer was evident as she zeroed in on the flaws in my writing, all while providing guidance in a kind, intuitive, thoughtful and supportive manner. Every single bit of instruction she gave had layers of meaning behind them, and I left the session feeling exhilarated because it was SO freaking useful.  I am torn between wanting to tell the whole world about her, but at the same time also wanting to keep this gem all to myself!
Oh and the results?  On the day of the book pitch, I had two agents announce that they were going to be fighting over me!”  – Kristen Mcleod, Communications Strategist 

 

“Jocelyn is not only a talented comedian, but also a gifted coach! During her workshop she helped me enhance my skills in both my delivery and writing. She shared her tried and true techniques, and made the whole workshop experience a lot of fun. Jocelyn’s encouragement and coaching also helped me audition for and win a residency at a comedy club in NYC!”  – Kimberly Blanchard, Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant

“My feelings about our class can be best summarized in this classic song (I’ve Had The Time of my Life) My friends who came to our showcase raved about every single set, and remembered jokes from everybody. Jocelyn, you are such a gifted teacher. If you decide to teach again, I’m desperate to give you my money!” – Rebecca Miller, Writer-Performer

“It was a pleasure to take comedy classes with Jocelyn in the Summer of 2019. Jocelyn is simultaneously professional, kind, and frankly just good at what she does, making her an ideal teacher / mentor. I took these classes for fun and to improve my public speaking, which is exactly what I got out of the program. The classes are worth every dollar and the group of women who took the class were genuinely supportive. Highly, highly recommend for those dipping their toes into comedy.”
