WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Now when I hear other speakers, I focus not just on WHAT they say, but HOW they say it.  You have taught me to speak by listening as much as I speak! 

 

- Kim K. | Founder, Ashton Hope Keegan Foundation

My goals were met and then some! I speak to a lot of people in my line of work and now I am more confident in what I have to say and how I say it. Leslie did a great job in providing the right depth and breadth of content so that it was easy to learn and practice. This was such a positive experience!

 

- L.C. | Higher education leader

I contacted Leslie to help me improve my voice for a video blog I was preparing to launch. She was sensitive to my goals and my anxieties! She designed our sessions around what I wanted to achieve for my project. She taught me new things about my voice, things that I can use in many contexts beyond my blog.

- Mark G. | Athens, GA

My son was preparing his audition for Newsies! and needed accent prep. Leslie prepared materials and samples for him and made them clear enough that I could help him study at home.

- Danielle S. | Bethesda, MD

Working with Leslie, I have enhanced my English pronunciation and I also have come to learn features of my own native language that I did not know before!  She is an expert in speech sounds, intonation, and voice quality and its connection to the body.  Perhaps most importantly, she is empathic with those learning from her.

- Franki M. | Milledgeville, GA (Cuba)

You are so poised and intentional with your words.  You have a huge impact on the people listening!

 

- Workshop attendee

Leslie has helped me improve my English by showing me some of the key sounds that will make the biggest impact on my speech. She has also taught me some things about English that have changed the way I hear it, and that also helps me as I try to sound more native-like.

- Dersy B. |  Perú

You are a multi-talented epic wonder of a human being!  Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 

 

- Keith H. | Actor, Director & Dialect Doach

The workshop introduced me to incorporating a new mindset and breathing techniques, all of which were new to me in the public speaking space. These strategies have already begun to positively impact my confidence and delivery.

 

- Workshop attendee

Leslie's expertise, grounded in her linguistics background, is matched by her genuine commitment to understanding each client’s unique goals.

 

- T. R. , School system administrator

[My team member] has greatly improved - night and day - and I have to attribute that to your work. He’s much more confident in speaking and taking on conversations. At times, I have to simply take a back seat, which is a good thing! He’s very capable and I think he realizes that now.

 

-J.K., Owner, Koons Environmental Design, Inc.

The "Powerful Presentations" training breaks down the  mindset, emotions, & body language that act as a barrier to being a confident speaker and provide strategies to combat the common pitfalls. I feel more confident going into presentations after Leslie's workshop.

 

-Workshop attendee, Kennesaw State University

 

Informative, inspiring, and engaging! This session gave me a better understanding of how to tailor presentations to the a specific crowd.

 

-Workshop attendee, University of North Georgia

Very informative, extremely beneficial for my team and a great, well-spoken coach!

 

-Admissions coordinator, University of North Georgia
