  In the last 10 years, I've created an untold number of presentations. But I have always had this one talk that felt impossible to write. I had been trying to develop it for years, but I couldnt get the structure right. I was really stuck. I decided to hire ****** because she understands the structure of talks and knows what good looks like. I knew she could help get me unblocked and make the concepts resonate for the audience. This talk needed her expertise. ****** helped me sort through a brain dump of everything I had been working on with this talk and find the gems. She brainstormed with me and gave me lots of tweaks, redirections, and possible options to improve the messaging and structure. I knew wed landed on the right framework for the talk when I shared it with friends and clients and they instantly understood it. With Brendas help, I found a structure that helped my audience see how the concepts applied to them and see what might be holding them back. A slam dunk! Within a few weeks of engaging ******, I gave the talk. The audience loved it. The presentation that gave me so much trouble for so long was a big success, thanks in no small part to Brendas help! Working collaboratively with ****** was a way easier process than battling it out on my own. I spent far less effort writing the speech and it was way faster to get to where I was trying to go. I realized how much easier it is for me to write talks this way. I think this is going to be a big part of how I develop talks going forward.I would recommend ****** for anyone building a presentation.Brendas amazing for folks who are brand new to speaking who don't yet know how to separate ideas into concepts and create a memorable speech that the audience can understand. And for experienced speakers like myself, ****** helps us break out of patterns, see things from a different perspective, and stretch our skills. Plus, its a heck of a lot more enjoyable and much easier than doing it alone!

  I met Brenda at ******* Burnaby in November 2023, where she was offering free public speaking coaching for presenters. Although I’m fairly experienced and confident in presenting, I’ve found it’s always helpful to get an outside perspective. Brenda’s feedback was specific, actionable, and insightful—she even suggested a great way to restructure the story in my presentation to capture the audience’s attention right away. Impressed by her guidance, I later hired Brenda to help me prepare for another ******* presentation. Her coaching not only improved the quality of my presentation but also boosted my confidence. With her support, I delivered a talk that engaged the audience, sparked meaningful interactions, and prompted plenty of questions. Brenda’s expertise made a clear difference, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to refine their public speaking skills.

  Thanks ***** ***** for your lovely review. I learned so much about AI from helping you with your most recent ******* presentation. Glad I could help you restructure your story to capture your audience's attention right away. Also glad your most recent audience was so engaged with your presentation.

  Although I was pretty comfortable speaking to groups of people before, I feel even more confident after working with Brenda. She delivered her constructive feedback as well as positive comments in a way that made me feel comfortable. I really liked Brenda’s suggestion of embodying the speech, rather than reading or memorizing it, and reminded myself of that throughout my presentation process. Brenda’s suggestions took my speech from a good speech to a very powerful and memorable speech. In addition to embodying the words, I loved her tip of painting a picture for the audience and to reference that theme throughout to tie the various components together. This was perfect in keeping the audience engaged and captivated, making my speech more impactful. I would recommend Brenda for many different types of public speakers. Whether you are apprehensive about public speaking, or doing a technical presentation in the corporate world, or a business pitch and want to take it to the next level, Brenda can help you, no matter how you feel about giving a presentation or what level you are at in public speaking.

  I am so glad that I could help you in painting a picture for the audience to engage and capture their interest. I hope you will continue to think about embodying your future speeches, rather than reading or memorizing them.

  I first met Brenda several years ago when we both worked at the ** ********** **********. Since that time, I have done a lot of presenting, training and educating to groups of many different sizes, across several professions. I hired Brenda because I was looking for a strong sounding board who would provide practical and thoughtful feedback, and also because we both have experience in regulation. Brenda immediately put me at ease, and she was very comfortable to talk to. She listened well and provided meaningful and helpful feedback. I valued her suggestions about opportunities for strengthening the connection with my audience(s) and the science behind it. I would absolutely recommend Brenda. Her service is truly valuable.

  Brenda helped me to prepare and strategize for a Q&A session following a live, on-stage business pitch competition. Brenda approached me after my first of two semi-finals for the ***** ***** ***** ***** competition and offered to help me better prepare for the next iteration. I was unhappy with my initial performance on the question-and-answer part of the event, so I cued up a number of coaching sessions with different people, including Brenda, for improvement. While other coaching sessions focused on the content I needed to prepare for my responses and developing a good list of talking points to use, Brenda’s session took a more tactical approach, helping me conceptualize a how rather than a what: how should I frame and use the answers I gave in response to the questions asked, rather than what I should say. This boosted my confidence and provided a framework within which to populate the other content. Through working with Brenda, I received Brenda's strategic approach to thinking about the questions and a way to respond to them within that framework. That framework is something that I can use not just for this particular contest, but also at future pitch cometitions or indeed at any presentation that involves a Q&A. Following the session with Brenda, I was able to do a better job of responding strategically to the judges’ questions. The flexibility and broad application of her approach makes it one that others are also likely to find useful and one that does not depend on Brenda being a subject matter expert in the area of the speech. I would recommend Brenda’s public speaking coaching to others.

I'm so glad you felt you did a better job responding strategically to the judges' questions. Working with you and your amazing startup business was wonderful. I was so happy to help in some way so that your business will be able to get the funding it needs. Best wishes at your next pitch.
