SmartMouth Founder and Principal Beth Noymer Levine is a Communications Coach who is emerging as one of the country’s leading voices on how to prepare and deliver speeches and presentations that actually work for both the audience and the speaker. Her methodology raises awareness around the unconscious tendency of speakers to be egocentric versus audience-centric and encourages clients to find their voices and their messages in a simple and logical way.

Beth is the creator of the SmartMouth Public Speaking Toolkit, a mobile app available in the iTunes and GooglePlay stores. She is also the author of the book Jock Talk: 5 Communication Principles for Leaders as Exemplified by Legends of the Sports World. She is a regular contributor to Forbes.

In her 30-year career in communications, Beth has worked both agency-side, for public relations firms Burson-Marsteller and Dewe Rogerson in New York, and corporate-side, for NationsBank (now Bank of America) in Atlanta. She has written speeches, developed presentations, shaped messaging strategies, and coached top-level executives in preparation for high-stakes speaking opportunities and media interviews.

She holds certificates in Training and in Coaching from the Association for Talent Development (ATD). She has lectured and taught courses at New York University, the University of Utah, and at The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. She established SmartMouth Communications in 2005. Beth is a member of IABC (International Association of Business Communicators).

Beth Levine is a native of Boston, but currently operates from her home base of Salt Lake City. She has a degree in Economics from Franklin & Marshall College, and more recently completed a post-MBA program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

Beth has been featured and quoted in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Quartz, and BBC.

A fun fact about Beth is that in her very first job after college, she and a young Barack Obama worked side by side at a New York consulting and publishing company. During the 2008 presidential campaign, when reporters tracked her down to ask what it had been like to work with Obama, Ms. Levine became her own worst nightmare when she gave her now-infamous quote: "I was a human train wreck next to him". She is a lifelong student of delivering the right message and also a frequent speaker on communicating and presenting.
