We have been working with Cara & the SpeechSkills team for the past 2 years. Cara is an exceptional speaker and a gifted teacher. The Projecting Credibility & Confidence seminar has proven to be one of the most valuable training sessions for our team members. Virtually everyone who attends the seminar walks away with practical learnings that can be put to use immediately to make them more effective in their role.

On behalf of everyone who attended the session on Tuesday, I want to say THANK YOU! The feedback shared with me has been overwhelmingly positive. KC Simmons, our head of learning and development shared that after nearly 30 years in the learning and development space, this was one of the most impactful presentations she has seen. Folks are excited to dive in and continue to develop themselves, and with the online resources, no doubt they will do that.

In a nutshell, "Projecting Credibility and Confidence" has become the highest value learning program among our employees by building more than just presentation skills; it builds self-confidence. Cara is dynamic and engaging—100% of attendees rate her as excellent.

Before SpeechSkills, our company struggled to leverage our significant sales expertise. Today, our salespeople are sought-after speakers for industry events. More importantly, our sales force is now able to effectively articulate the value of our company.

Thanks again, Cara, for your AMAZING presentation at the Leadership Academy. You received nothing but rave reviews.

Superb. I feared it would be a 'confidence-in-a-box' kind of experience, with everyone coming out sounding the same. Instead, each participant was coached in specific areas. We all improved—visibly and audibly—while maintaining individuality. There is no question that I am now a better communicator, publicly and privately.

Outstanding! The workshops bring a new level of confidence to everyone who attends.
