In her 20-year career in communications, Ms. Levine has worked both agency-side, for public relations firms Burson-Marsteller and Dewe Rogerson in New York, and corporate-side, for NationsBank (now Bank of America) in Atlanta. She has written speeches, developed presentations, shaped messaging strategies, and coached top-level executives in preparation for high-stakes speaking opportunities and media interviews. Ms. Levine holds certificates in Training and in Coaching from the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD). She has lectured and taught courses at New York University and at the University of Utah. She established SmartMouth Communications in 2005.
Beth Levine is a native of Boston, but currently operates from her home base of Salt Lake City. She has a degree in Economics from Franklin & Marshall College, and more recently completed a post-MBA program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. A fun fact about Ms. Levine is that in her very first job after college, she and a young Barack Obama worked side by side at a New York consulting and publishing company. During the 2008 presidential campaign, when reporters tracked her down to ask what it had been like to work with Obama, Ms. Levine became her own worst nightmare when she gave her now-infamous quote: “I was a human train wreck next to him.” She is a lifelong student of delivering the right message and also a frequent speaker on communicating and presenting.
