About Tatuescavi

Learn about our mission, vision, and the team behind Canada's premier public speaking training company

Our Story

Building confidence through expert communication training since 2012

Tatuescavi was founded in 2012 by Dr. Emily Roberts, a former professor of Communications at the University of Toronto with a vision to transform how professionals approach public speaking.

After witnessing countless brilliant professionals struggle to effectively communicate their ideas, Dr. Roberts assembled a team of communication experts, speech coaches, and corporate trainers with one mission: to empower individuals with the skills and confidence to speak effectively in any situation.

The name "Tatuescavi" derives from an ancient phrase meaning "to uncover one's true voice" – reflecting our commitment to helping clients discover and develop their authentic speaking style.

What began as a small consulting practice in Toronto has grown into Canada's leading public speaking training company, with clients ranging from Fortune 500 executives to government officials, entrepreneurs, and professionals across all industries.
