Acacia Duncan and Blythe Coons

I love connecting people across the data science community to share what they're accomplishing with data and help others do the same through community discussions, industry meetups, and more.

Blythe is an Executive Speech and Communications Coach with Articulation. She brings with her a diverse background in teaching, coaching, business and performance. Blythe enjoys working with her clients to transform ideas into words and inspire audiences. She lives in Columbus, OH with her husband and two kids.

Acacia has coached hundreds of speakers since joining Articulation in 2016. Before that she spent 14 years as a corporate coach and trainer in the retail sector. As a coach, she specializes in helping clients translate complicated content with purpose, precision, and power. Not to mention a bit of fun! She has also created curriculum and delivered training and development workshops for groups of up to 400. "I work hard to keep sessions lively and curious, asking questions before answering them and creating an environment that fosters adult peer learning." In addition to coaching and facilitation, Acacia is a professional theatre director and actor. "My years of experience — on and off stage — taught me how to bring out the creativity in anyone seeking to engage an audience." She lives in Columbus with her husband and spends a lot of time dreaming of mountains.
