Wolfe’s public speaking model is rooted in the principle of curiosity as connection. He believes that when a listener can locate genuine curiosity—both in the speaker and in the message—they become more engaged, open, and invested. Whether the goal is to sell a product, land a job, deliver a speech, or simply have a meaningful conversation, sparking curiosity creates a bridge between performance and authentic human interaction.

At the age of seven, Wolfe Lanier (they/he) eagerly began helping around their parents’ mom-and-pop hair salon. Observing their parents’ skillful communication with clients and employees, Wolfe witnessed the salon grow from one of the smallest in the neighborhood to one of the largest in North Carolina. It was there—between bobby pins and bold choices—that Wolfe first understood the power of clear, connective communication. Especially when someone’s bangs were on the line, saying the right thing mattered. More importantly, they learned that saying yes to risk often opens the door to our greatest growth.

Now entering their second year of the MFA Voice Studies program at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Wolfe brings that same passion for leadership and speech to their work as a voice, speech, and public speaking coach. Wolfe’s practice blends somatic voice work, classical rhetoric, and playful curiosity to help clients move through perfectionism and speak with freedom and ease.

Wolfe’s previous clients include writers, performers, and community organizers in New York and North Carolina. They earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from the Hartt School, where they also focused on directing and acting. Post-graduation, Wolfe joined the faculty of Asheville Performing Arts Academy, where they helped students—from elementary to university age—embrace the courage to be heard.

Whether supporting clients through high-stakes speeches or casual conversation, Wolfe is deeply committed to helping people reclaim their voice. They believe that authentic self-expression is not just a skill—but a gift.
