Classroom Setting Testimonial from
Greg Godek,
President of the National Speakers Association, San Diego
Chapter,
host city for the 2007 National Convention
"When everyone in the house is already a professional
speaker, it can be hard to get them to focus on your message
instead of dissecting your delivery. Yet it was clear from
the buzz in the room that no one wanted to leave for their
next session because they were having such fun and learning
so much together.
"People were writing down plenty of what you said; there was
so much in there that could be applied at all levels. The
newer speakers were getting fundamentals they needed to hear
while the highly-experienced speakers were getting a fresh
look at their old ways. I have no question that the
attendees left with a variety of action items that they can
and will implement to make themselves more dynamic.
"Most exciting was to see the folks in the room delve into
the action…from your writing exercises to improvisational
work to playing with delivery techniques I'd never even
heard of before."
Greg Godek,
2006-2007 President
National Speakers Association, San Diego Chapter

Coaching Testimonial from Kurt Wallien,
President of Roberta's Exotic Gardens (as seen on the QVC
network)
"Until I
started my speech coaching work with you, I had no idea how much more
effective my presentation skills could become! Our work together with
both improv (to boost my flexibility and creativity) and rehearsal (to
make planned material sound like I was speaking off the top of my head)
has absolutely paid off!
QVC staff
have told me that I'm appearing much more likeable, convincing, and
interesting while talking about pretty much the same topics I was before.
Your ability to help me find what’s interesting and speak its truth in an
articulate manner that suits MY style has boosted Roberta’s sales in
2004. "

President and primary on-air spokesperson,

Coaching Testimonial from
Daniel
Tautges,
President of Global Data Center Management
"I
could tell that you saw the significance of the data I needed to cover
and made a strong effort to understand my business goals, but were still
dedicated to making me appear more dynamic and my material more exciting
in the process.
"By the
time we were done, it was a very different program that I was ready to
give. There was appropriate humor (tailored to be kept within my
comfort zone), a much more attention-holding PowerPoint that wouldn’t
cause “glaze-over syndrome”, and my delivery sounded far more
interesting. The vocal exercises, warm-ups, and scripting ideas you
shared helped me to see how I could make this material more appealing to
listen to − and actually more fun to deliver as well...
"You even
had me laughing at my own material; a good sign that I'd hold the
attention of others…which I believe I did."

Global Data Center Management,
President

Coaching via video: Letter from
Vilis Ozols, Certified
Speaking Professional,
Professional Speaker and President of Colette Carlson
Communications
 "I
have used both humor coaches and well-known speaking coaches
with with me...your detailed review [of my video] and
practical recommendations were as insightful and beneficial
as any coaching I have received in the industry.
"I
believe that you bring an acute ability to gauge both a
speaker's stage presence and the audience perceptions, but
then also recognize the humor opportunities (and
transgressions).
"The
recommendations and suggestions you gave were easily
implementable and had an immediate positive impact on my
presentation as a whole."

Professional designation)

his coaching on comedic timing will have a dramatic impact
on my delivery.

Classroom Setting Testimonial from
Dan Dawson,
Customer Relations Manager of the Big Blue Bus,
the mass transit system for the City of Santa Monica
"...I was most excited by the response in the room when
everyone participated in the vocal variety exercise. It
made points that I have tried to express to them so much
clearer because they could see it for themselves when their
partners were participating and succeeding. This was the
source of much discussion in our business meeting later.
In terms of coming across more energetic and likeable, what
a kick it was to hear everyone applaud after Donna
participated and say, “We’ve never seen you come across like
that before!” Even though the exercise pushed
her comfort zone, you could see in her face that she enjoyed
the accolades. I think we'll see her applying these skills
on the job now that she knows she can do it."
Dan Dawson,
Customer Service Manager

Coaching Setting Testimonial from Kara
Sandler,
salesperson and marketing presenter
" I
had no idea how much having a coach could make a difference
but I'm sure glad I found out!...Your tricks for breaking down the
section that I was most struggling with memorizing allowed
me to recite the section accurately for the first time. And
once I'd done it once, I could let go of that “I can’t do
this!” feeling that I now know was stopping me."
Kara Sandler,
Interactive Company Broadcast TV |
Keynote Setting Testimonial from
EvE Bond,
planning committee coordinator for the
International Assoc. of Administrative Professionals
 "Now
that I've seen the evaluations, it’s obvious that
[attendees] were even more impressed than I'd realized.
Comments ranged from, 'Excellent speaker; by far, the
best speaker of the morning' to
'Milo Shapiro made this one hour mini-workshop well worth
the cost of the entire seminar'...
"It truly was an hour chock-full of ideas I know our
attendees will apply!"
EvE Bond,
planning committee coordinator, IAAP

Coaching Setting Testimonial from
Jennifer Sedlock,
Professional Speaker and Author
 "I've
incorporated his ideas and it is making a big impact on my audience enjoying
and probably retaining more of the program...Thank you to Milo who really
looks at things with an eye for style, not just content - he can help anyone
with ideas on how to improve what they already are doing."

 Coaching Setting Testimonial from
Sarita Maybin,
Professional Speaker and Author
"Although
I've been a full time professional speaker for almost 16 years, I still
found your feedback during our coaching session quite valuable.
"I greatly appreciated the astute observations you shared such as your
suggestion on strategically pausing for impact. Your other advice such as
kicking off my presentation more powerfully by jumping right in--without the
"good morning" preamble--allowed me to make my subsequent presentations more
crisp and impactful.
"I also found useful your coaching on timing and use of humor, both of which
are critical parts of an engaging presentation. Your background in improv
serves you well and benefited me as a recipient of your coaching services.
"Your title, "Chief Energy Officer" (CEO), is well-deserved, because you do
indeed energize presentations!"
Sarita Maybin, professional speaker
