Barb's Passion Transfers Into Her Services

“Public speaking frightens me… it causes a lot of anxiety. This is why I sought out a speech coach. In Barb, I found someone who was warm, friendly and very supportive. Barb quickly and astutely identified both what I did well and where I can improve. She made me feel great about what I was doing well and provided excellent advice on taking my presentation to the next level.

I had four sessions with Barb. In that short time, she helped turn my presentation from a flat and relatively boring one, to the best presentation I’ve ever delivered in my life! She did this by A) giving me the confidence to get out of my comfort zone; B) incorporating humour to foster audience engagement; and C) teaching me how to move with purpose on stage.                                       THANK YOU BARB!”

"One seed can start a garden, one conversation can spark an idea."

After just one conversation with Barb, her friendly and encouraging words inspired me to step on a stage to tell a personal family story. I am usually reserved, and after a few sessions of Barb's thoughtful and motivating advice, she showed me how to bring the story to life! Barb helped me to break out of my shell, find my true voice (which is much louder than I thought!) and I achieved a long-time public speaking goal: to share my parent's remarkable life story to a wider audience! I know that this newfound confidence and stronger speaking voice will help me in both my personal and professional life.

Thanks Barb for your fabulous coaching while I was preparing for our club's Toastmasters' International Speech Contest. Under your tutelage, I greatly improved my vocal variety, tone, hand gestures, and body language while I was presenting. In particular, your suggestions helped me to 'step out of my comfort zone' to act out my story and make it come alive.

My public speaking skill and confidence has risen to a whole new level. Now, I look forward with excitement to giving my next speech.

You are awesome! I can't wait to work with you again.

Barb is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable speech coach. With her assistance, I was able to incorporate humour and excitement into my presentation. In just a few sessions with Barb, her encouragement and support greatly improved my speech, as well as my confidence on stage.

As a high-profile public speaker, I am invited to speak at events, conferences and grand openings.  Along with prepared speeches, I often speak with the press, and impromptu speaking is something I do on a regular basis. As my personal coach, Barb has shown me techniques that ensure I connect with my audiences and bring positive energy and passion to my presentations. I recently spoke in front of an audience of 20,000 people. Thank you, Barb, for providing me with the confidence and support to tackle any public speaking challenges that come my way.

As mother of the groom, I wanted the speech I delivered at my son’s wedding to be authentic and heartfelt. As a coach, Barb was passionate that I present a sensational speech to be remembered by friends and family long after I stepped away from the mic. She helped me gather my ideas and write a speech that had everyone laughing, reminiscing and engaged. She showed me presentation skills that brought my speech to life! My friends were astonished at how far my public speaking skills have come since working with Barb. I had many compliments on my speech, but most of all, I was able to deliver an entertaining and genuinely sincere speech that made my son and his new bride proud. 

Barb helped me make rapid advances in impromptu speaking. With her help in pinpointing and correcting the areas that most needed improvement, my confidence and technique improved noticeably after just a few sessions. Whether you need help with a presentation or just want to become a better overall speaker, Barb has you covered!
