Wanda Royse

PRESENTATION & EXECUTIVE PRESENCE CONSULTANT

Wanda Royse founded WR Communication Consultants Inc. because of her strong belief that success in this complex and interactive world demands communication excellence. Working with startups through Fortune 100 companies, Wanda delights in hearing the success of her clients. The advancement in their careers — managers, directors, Vice Presidents, Partners, and C Suite executives — expresses that communication excellence was a key factor in achieving success. Wanda's method developed from many years of experience in fields where “communication was the core,” including directing, choreographing, and performing for theatre productions, broadcast media, and corporate communications. As a coach, she helps people identify their unique brand, enhance their style with specific techniques professional communicators use, and create an action plan to polish their skills.

Wanda’s communication journey began at an early age. Growing up in the Midwest, her family moved every 3 to 5 years because of her father's work. Looking back, it was preparing Wanda for her life’s purpose: communication, mentoring and coaching. The last move was to North Dakota where she became Miss North Dakota and competed in the Miss America Pageant. This was truly life changing, including the scholarships paying for her college education.

This lead Wanda to Los Angeles where she attended USC, majored in Theatre Arts, and earned her Screen Actors Guild card. Next, the journey was to Northern California where she graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree at San Jose State University — double major in Theatre Arts and Broadcast Communications.
