“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 she provided great advice on how to take my presentation to the next level.
I had just four sessions with Barb. In that short time, she helped to 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! Most especially, Barb helped me to break out of my shell, find my true voice (which is much louder than I thought!) and helped me achieve 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.
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.
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.
