“Within just a few weeks, my speaking nerves dramatically diminished and I felt more confident presenting to clients and speaking off the cuff. Lee arms you with tangible speaking tools, which I found so helpful, and also creates opportunities to practice and get more comfortable. They’re a master at helping people who struggle to speak confidently find their voice. I can't recommend them or this work enough.”

“Working with Lee was transformative. They helped me acknowledge the deeper issues underneath my speaking anxiety while also offering easy and actionable tips to speak with more confidence and clarity. Lee is an incredible resource and I’m so grateful for our time together, highly recommend them”

“There is something special about how Lee humanizes our feelings and struggles with communication. It isn't about learning the rules. A lot of it was unlearning those rules and understanding who those rules were made for. I learned to let go of those values and practices of patriarchy and white supremacy that make me feel less significant and less worthy to be heard.”

“While I've taken communications courses off and on for years and for various reasons, this is the first time that I've had a one-on-one communications coach. It was worth the time and money! Lee's focus on providing various tools to disrupt the behaviors and habits that trigger my nervousness and anxiety when public speaking was novel to me. I was initially skeptical about this behavior disruption approach, but as I implemented and discovered which approaches / tools worked for me, the subtlety between "managing" and "disrupting" habits was a game changer for me. I plan to utilize the tools I've acquired from Lee, and I look forward to continuous improvement in my communication skills.”

“Lee cuts through BS and tells you exactly what you need to do and works very hard with you to achieve it. Their dedication and focus shows every time!”

"I really appreciated Lee's coaching style, and each of our sessions felt very personalized and pertinent to what was going on in the moment. I can't think of anything I would have changed, only getting to work on more with Lee..”

“I never realized how much the fear of public speaking hindered my professional growth. After working with Lee, so many doors and opportunities opened up for me. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to jump on the chance to work with them earlier.”

“Lee really made all the difference in developing my confidence and improving my communication skills.”

“I have taken a number of public speaking and communication courses over the years. This course really gets to the core of each individual and how they communicate. I feel armed with the ability to recognize challenges and the tools to tackle communication challenges and become a more effective communicator. Thanks Lee!.”

"I work in a fast-paced environment. The ability to quickly distill multiple concepts and convey complicated messages competently, concisely, and confidently is expected and essential. Time and time again, I noticed myself falling short of this obligation. I explored different communication coach options, and for several reasons, Lee was the best fit for me. Within three sessions of working with Lee, I saw and experienced significant growth. They are both passionate and well-versed in their craft. They are flexible and cater their approach to you. Lee's theoretically, empirically, and practically supported methods have helped arm me with tools to strengthen, empower, and trust in my distinctive voice. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with them, and I look forward to their continued support in my communication journey.”

“The Group Coaching Program is an amazing process of self perception and development. I have learned to observe the way I speak and communicate, and to embody the tools I needed to be able to reach how I want to be perceived.”

“Our people are still buzzing about Friday’s event. You did an amazing job.”

“We were all so thankful for your hard work and how much you were able to tailor the training to our needs. I heard nothing but great feedback from the team.”

I thought I was a good communicator coming into this work, only to find out the opposite, that there was so much room to develop my communication skills and use it in ways that aid both myself and those around me. I highly recommend this work to anybody looking to increase their understanding of their own communication style and who want to be able to use communication in more meaningful ways.”

“I learned a lot about my communication style and how to continuously build my communication tools effectively with Lee.”

“Before my work with Lee, I was convinced something was “wrong” with me and that I was a “bad communicator.” Lee helped me learn to trust myself and my voice, to be more present with others, to understand and manage my nerves, and shared fantastically easy and practical tools that I know I’ll be using for years to come!“

“Through my work with Lee I’ve developed the presence of mind and cultivated a self-confidence that has led to real, positive change in interactions across all walks of life.”
