Here's what recent clients had to say:
"Working with Sally was extremely rewarding. She is fun, energetic and so passionate and expressive. Sally set up a safe environment and allowed me to explore and experiment with my expression. I left each session with my muscles stretched and a little more confidence in my ability. I was shown new processes and structures which allowed me to craft keynote speeches along with powerful exercises that helped widen my expression. I was not even aware that my voice could make some of the sounds that it did.” Steve Wooderson, Director, Perspective International Ltd
“This course gave me a great understanding of how to structure and present a speech/seminar, and I came away with a lot more confidence in presenting in front of groups of people. This course teaches you how to tackle a presentation, how to add real life stories most effectively, and how to use vocal variety to enhance your delivery. Sally was very entertaining and knowledgeable on her subject." Garth Beker, Partner, Beker, Findlay, Allan
