"Annie was wonderful, she really nailed modeling throughout the session how all the different facets of tone affect people and the environment. This was the session that finally brought home the fact that a facilitator can manipulate and influence a meeting with tone." A Participant in a recent workshop.

"Annie's talent and vitality exude from her. She did a fabulous job modeling how to use your voice and emotion to communicate in an effective way especially-when you are trying to jump through a little square on a zoom screen. Our 21/64 Art of Facilitation participants wanted even more time with Annie!"

"In preparing for a TV and public speaking engagement, I sought out Annie's expertise in public speaking and presentation. She was extremely helpful and insightful. Her advise and techniques were instrumental in creating a confident and thorough presentation style on camera, and in front of large audiences. Conquering a medium I'm not used to was a challenge, and Annie was a tremendous help. I plan on working with her again!"

I worked with Annie over multiple sessions to prepare for a variety of speaking performances. Short story is, I can't recommend her enough. She has both fundamental, tactical knowledge and experience that she passes on to you, but she also understands the emotional component and helps you reach a level of performance you likely didn't know you had. I can say with confidence that my performances were significantly better because of Annie.
Ethan Agarwal: Founder & CEO. Aaptiv
Annie, it was such a pleasure. We received wonderful feedback from our team. You did an excellent job getting people out of their comfort zones but not pushing so hard that it felt like a negative. We loved it.
It offered an opportunity to reflect on my own way of speaking and carrying myself, and challenged my methods of preparing for presentations. The part about intention was particularly helpful100% recommend. I’m not sure I know one person who couldn’t benefit from these lessons.
Chantelle Walker: CEO, REED Autism Services
Thank you! Your presentation was superb. I learned so much. I never knew what a chest voice was. I look forward to trying out my new tools.
