Heather spent four hours preparing our employees for their presentations, and they hit a home-run! They stood tall, spoke with enthusiasm and made eye contact. They told stories and let their passion show. Thanks to Heather’s coaching, we made exactly the impression we needed to make.

My staff and I greatly enjoyed and benefited from your workshop. Your modeling of techniques and the opportunities to practice them were very practical and we all increased our confidence. Public education is part of our mandate, and your workshop has taught us how to fulfill this role more effectively. We also make frequent presentations to funders and potential funders, and this workshop has already been very helpful in improving those presentations. It was excellent!

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. I think all could benefit, not only to improve speaking skills but to build self-confidence. The course not only assisted with practical tips regarding public speaking, but added a component of emotional and psychological uplift that will help with everyday living.

The highlights for me were working with others to improve our skills, and the laughter. I would recommend this workshop to others and possibly repeat it again, myself.

I can’t thank you enough for your great instruction, as it has given me more confidence when speaking to a group of people. The principles and the mechanics of it really make a lot of sense. I thought it was brilliant! I feel so much more comfortable and I’m not nearly as introverted as I was before. Your training has been exceptionally helpful and inspiring. I hope I can live up to that – to be the one that makes a difference.

Your SPEAK UP! Workshop was wonderful – so life-affirming! This is valuable information for university faculty members, too, not just the students. The “how-to’s” were great, and I loved the instruction on using “energy”. It was all great, and the four hours seemed too short!

SPEAK UP! was fun, exciting and practical! Our sales reps loved the chance to practice the highly-transferable skills you presented in your hands-on, interactive workshop.

On behalf of students and staff here at Brighton P.S I'd like to thank you for teaching us how to be better public speakers. Your presentation is excellent! The activities are useful and fun! You have a very valuable workshop that could be presented again and again. Your unique style is very commanding and engaging. You certainly have a flair for something that most people shy away from!!

Excellent! As a government employee, I took several presentation skills workshops. In SPEAK UP! I heard quite a few new things (or they were presented better, so I heard better!)

The best message of the day came right at the beginning: love yourself, your message and your audience. This struck me as very important. Another high point was the use of eye contact and pauses. The whole presentation seemed to flow logically and seamlessly from beginning to end. First class!

I was interested all the way through and learned much from the exercises and anecdotes you used to illustrate your ideas. Your suggestions for changing our attitude toward the audience were very helpful, and I already feel increased confidence.
You practice what you preach and you have that 'energy' and 'passion'. You presented yourself in a way that made us want to respond to you and interact. I will definitely apply your ideas to everyday life; they are that fundamental for relating to the people we interact with.
