"Before I did Dee's training, I was a confused waffler but now believe I am memorable."
Daniela Busseni
Category Controller, Bel UK
"I have seen firsthand the positive impact Dee's mentoring has had. Through the use of the "Taming The Monkeys" process and with the addition of advanced presentation techniques I saw the individual transform their ability immediately after the session. They were able to present to the international senior team and to the European board with confidence and clarity. Their presentation skills were praised and noticed by many. That's why I asked Dee to help me when I had less than 48 hours to write and deliver an external supplier conference presentation.
Her feedback was concise and clear and she really helped me to clarify the key points. I delivered the presentation yesterday and it went really well. It was brilliant! I had the last slot and finished in a great high! Thanks again for your time; it was fundamental to the delivery of the key message."

“Everything clear to understand and broken down into sections so it felt it all came to a confident conclusion” Fiona
“I feel so much more positive about presenting in the future – less monkeys. Nice to know everyone else has self doubt/monkeys. Very open environment.” Nicola

"Just a note to say how worthwhile and enjoyable your one-day Networking & Presentation Skills workshop was for me. I have long thought that being able to say who I am and what I do to potential clients would be very useful and impactful. The structure was excellent. Just the right mix of theory, practice and background and factual evidence made it fun, impactful and very rewarding. I have taken a lot away with me and practice as often as I can. The lunch was an added bonus!!"

“Dee, I just wanted to thank you so much, in just a three hours crash course, you have really helped me think a little differently and this will I'm sure, help me overcome some of the things that hold me back in life”

Employer Engagement, Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry
“Dee ran two workshops for me on Public Speaking to two groups of students ranging from 11-17. Both groups will be making presentations in front of up to 150 people and the feedback from them has been great. Speaking to a large group can be pretty nerve racking and the students have said that they now feel a lot more confident thanks to tips and suggestions that Dee offered. I even learnt a lot myself which was an unexpected bonus. I would definitely suggest that if you or some of your employees could do with improving their presenting skills, Dee is certainly worth a call.”

"What went well was learning a simple structure, understanding how to get rid of those "monkeys" and gaining confidence in my presentation skills. Overall the course has met my objectives and has given me the confidence to take advantage of speaking opportunities and see them as that - opportunities rather than a "chore."

“I recently took part in an excellent training day run by Dee. With her engaging and entertaining, expert advice, I left the room fully confident in how I would prepare and present myself in future business pitches. Aside from Dee's many other services, I would fully recommend her training services for people (and businesses) who want the skills to speak confidently to other businesses and networkers.”
Tim Huckle
Voice & Data Communications Consultant, Think IT Services Ltd
“I have been on a number of training courses run by Dee specifically aimed at getting a business message across to an audience. She teaches practical techniques to both simplify the message so that it is more easily understood, and to present it in an interesting way that people are more likely to remember. Her NLP training has helped her to develop these courses which I found very worthwhile.”
Lisa Rogers
