Testimonials
“Clara delivered a workshop to a group of experienced sports coaches and executives I organised and it was absolutely outstanding! Her delivery and personality made them all feel comfortable, while positively challenging their understanding and approach to public speaking, media and coaching. She provided practical and memorable techniques to improve and left the group feeling more confident and inspired. We couldn’t recommend Clara highly enough and will be back for more sessions!”
“Clara is a true gem. I sought her help during Covid when uncomfortable and nerve-wracking Zoom meetings became de rigueur, which was clearly adversely affecting my ability to book new clients. It has been a couple months now since my last session with Clara and I have booked every new client that has come my way via Zoom. Coincidence? I don’t think so!“
“The quality that all business leaders possess is excellent communication skills. Until now, I struggled speaking publicly and I would avoid giving presentations. This definitely held me back from growing professionally. Recently, my company president asked me to lead a series of workshops at a national sales kickoff event. I … was fortunate to be teamed up with Clara… Clara helped me work through the psychological blocks that inhibited me from expressing myself. We practiced vocal drills to find my “voice”. She taught me to speak slowly from my diaphragm, organize my thoughts and synchronize my voice with the ideas I want to express. She even gave me helpful advice on my presentation. I’m happy to report that the survey results from over 300 participants in attendance voted me as “Favorite Speaker” among all presenters! This wouldn’t have been possible without Clara’s help. Clara rocks!“
“I came to Clara ahead of my first keynote speech, both to prep for that talk specifically and to overcome some longstanding issues in communicating with large groups. Clara was an incredible mentor – she coached me in both practical and mental strategies that helped me give a great presentation and that I continue to use almost every day. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence during my time with Clara and have reached a new level in my career as a result. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“Clara is an incredibly gifted teacher who brings a wealth of knowledge, deep expertise and empathy, and always goes above and beyond to help her clients achieve their goals. As a result of her coaching, I’ve gone from having no public speaking experience to becoming a professional speaker and event host, and saw both immediate, tangible results within the first couple of lessons and significant long-term progress over the past year and a half. She has helped me improve my tone, accent, delivery and content of my speeches for several high-profile engagements ranging from hosting large-scale events to serving as an interviewer, panelist and conference moderator to recording a podcast and preparing for important meetings. The tools, tips and techniques she has equipped me with have been instrumental in propelling my career to the next level, while building my confidence as a communicator and ability to connect with any audience. With her help, I’ve felt like I could tackle any communication challenge and left every lesson feeling inspired, energized and empowered. I’m deeply grateful for Clara’s continued guidance and everyone I’ve referred to her (from senior corporate executives to actors looking to master an accent to people in creative roles across the media industry and beyond), have been equally thrilled with her work.“
