Jessiee Datino
Founder & Lead Trainer
Center Present grew from a conviction: confidence in public speaking comes from authenticity, not perfection. With a Master of Fine Arts in performance from Penn State and two decades of experience in coaching and stage work, Jessiee transformed her love of storytelling into a practical, no-nonsense approach to communication that helps people find their most effective presentation—through authentic voice, clear messages, and real-world delivery.
Her journey began in New York City, where 15 years of performance and play development taught her that the strongest presentations emerge when speakers mine the soul of their message, connect with audiences, and speak with clarity—without pretending to be flawless. She developed a personal curriculum that makes public speaking approachable and even enjoyable, and, for more than ten years, has coached private clients and taught Public Speaking and Presentation to diverse groups across universities, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. This work shaped a method that centers on two core beliefs: your most effective tool is you, and every voice deserves to be heard with confidence and precision.
Jessiee tailors guidance to fit each individual’s strengths, challenges, and goals—whether steering corporate executives toward authentic leadership presence, helping aspiring keynote speakers land a transformative moment, or guiding students to ace high-stakes interviews. In Center Present, she combines proven coaching techniques with a deep understanding of human behavior and audience dynamics to help clients express themselves confidently, advocate for their ideas effectively, and leave a lasting impression through effective presentation.
Today, Jessiee collaborates with trusted partners who share her commitment to turning preparation into performance through practical, evidence-based coaching and collaborative learning experiences. Her vision for Center Present is simple and powerful: unlock potential, elevate authentic communication, and deliver leadership with impact.
