What Clients Have Said

Your coaching was what I needed to get all of my ideas out of my head in a structured framework that would take the presentation to the next level. Sometimes when you work with people it is hard to quantify the results but this is NOT one of those times.

I delivered my newly created keynote and I received $15,000 in sales directly from my presentation.

This was not by accident: we had worked together with the end in mind knowing what I would be offering and crafted a keynote that would not only be valuable to the audience but create a seamless transition to the offer.”

— Amber De La Garza, Keynote Speaker & Entrepreneur
