…and Harrison Monarth
“In my position I constantly have to give highly technical presentations to non-technical audiences. With your coaching I have become a much more confident and persuasive presenter. Your story-telling techniques helped me to quickly establish rapport with audiences and keep their attention during some fairly dry and complex presentations! Every technical presenter should have you as a coach.”
Andre Trubetskoy, Director, Software Developer
Qwest Wireless, Denver, CO
“Thank you very much for your excellent advice. While I am fairly comfortable speaking to groups, I never quite felt like I am totally getting my message across. You showed me how to get into their hearts and minds and I’m already getting amazing feedback. I am most grateful to you and your staff.”
Robert Thornton, Attorney at Law
Planet Hollywood, Vienna, Austria
