“This program gives you freedom! Freedom to just be yourself. It is so amazing because it goes to the root of why one is afraid to speak in public, focusing on the essentials - you realize that all the other stuff is secondary. SpeakEase builds from the ground up or rather from the inside-out, and teaches us to be our authentic selves. Every class (in the ten week program) was so beneficial and offered great tools on how to become an authentic public speaker. All of the tools cross-over into every aspect of daily life and are practical and effective.”
—Dana McCabe, co-owner, boxing training school

“I had taken a couple of other speaking courses before yours but I really feel that your approach to help us feel more comfortable with ourselves and others is what has helped me the most. The most profound part of the course for me was that you were able to disarm my fear. I would not have believed this was even possible until experiencing it myself, since public speaking has always been such a fearful thing for me to do. You made something difficult into an enjoyable experience. Thank you for your very positive influence.”
