Your Nonna says she’s got “the gift of gab”

Jill Angelone brings over 14 years of corporate sales and public speaking experience. Now at Strictly Speaking Group, a premier public speaking coaching firm, she combines her passion for authentic leadership with the science of effective communication to coach executives, lead transformative workshops, and help the average person craft beautiful stories for life’s most important moments. Take it from her–she’s been an officiant or given a speech at 10+ weddings!

With a degree in Economics and Theatre from Boston University, Jill has shaped sales teams and their product pitches at some of the most prolific tech companies of our age, as well as coached executives to land their message in business meetings. When it comes to her personal experience, she’s an experienced wedding officiant, oft-asked wedding speech deliverer, 5 time eulogy giver (this one’s not as fun), and has even been someone’s best man (but this one was!). Along her personal and professional journey, she’s been recognized for her ability to translate information into clear, influential narratives and mentor others in doing the same.

Jill’s public speaking engagement style is grounded, relatable, and driven by one belief: that the most powerful communicators are the ones who lead with clarity, purpose, and a strong sense of self. Her own shift from high-performing sales leader to executive coach was sparked by personal experience—reclaiming her voice through communication coaching that helped her re-center on what matters most to her: the audience, the message, and the impact.

Born and raised in NYC, Jill now lives in Long Island with her partner, Mike, and their two cats Harlot and Macabre.
