Kyoko Takeyama

Owner at KT Communications

Faculty Profile

Most professionals have difficulty speaking publicly about their expertise. Kyoko shows you how to get visible by speaking up online, in person, and on stage so you and your career grow. Born to Japanese parents in New York and living most of her adulthood in Barcelona, she has spent her life deciphering English, Japanese, and Spanish messages to find that communication is more than speaking aloud. Kyoko has a B.A. and M.A. in Communications and works with global companies such as Autodesk, Domestika, and TEDx. When she’s not giving speeches, workshops, and coaching, she runs, paints, and sings. Let’s connect on LinkedIn and talk about you. If you’re great at what you do, the world needs to know about it.
