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. "

Mini-Group Coaching Testimonial from Todd Juneau,
Senior Vice President of Aviatech (digital and integrated marketing communications)

"When we asked you to come in and do a 1-on-3 presentation skill coaching with three of our staff members, we hoped to begin to notice changes in time.  When the changes at a client presentation were notable after only the second session, though, we knew we were on to something in working with you and Public Dynamics.

Public speaking is generally not a class people are eager to take; for one of your pupils the word “terrifying” came to mind.  So it says a lot that these three looked forward to the sessions with you and have expressed an interest in our extending the program beyond our initial agreement.  To hear all three use the word “fun” to describe this program is an unexpected pleasure. 

After I finally got to meet with you last week, I can see why.  You’ve read our general business needs well, zeroed in quickly on where the issues are for these three people, put them at ease, and are clearly helping them progress…all with a rather light-hearted approach to a serious topic.  We’d started out only planning to send these three, but now we’re starting to consider who else might benefit from your slightly unorthodox approach that has such an impact.  Although I have been giving presentations for many years, I would like to see what you could do to take me to the next level!"

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."
