Hi Annette,

You're one on one session "Interviewing Skills" left me with so many new tools. I am more confident about going for interviews now. I felt like the training was designed just for me.

I realize now that I can be a more valuable asset to any company just by saying I took a communication skills seminar. These companies want to know we are interested in learning these new skills. Thanks for a great day.

Annette’s contribution to our Team Training day was well received by all the participants.  She provided meaningful tips that people could put into practice right away.  Her information was delivered in a fun & relaxed manner. I can’t believe you did all that you did in one hour.  You certainly were prepared & everyone appreciated the handouts, so that they could concentrate on what you were saying, rather than taking notes. The feed back was very positive.  Annette was a hit !!! Thank you Annette for coming out & playing with us & for all the great tips you offered.

Annette, the one sheet worked great and simplified the presentation, which freed me up to really connect with the audience. The questions and the exercises got the audience participating, which made it incredibly easy on me. It left me wondering why I didn't do this sooner!!!! The time flew by but I got everything in. I even had someone come up to me and inquire about hiring me.  Thanks again for your help. You help me clarify my message, make it succinct and deliver it in an interactive way. You are the best!

"Hellen and myself after lunch"

I have always been shy.  It’s hard for me to speak my voice, but inside of me I know there are things I would like to share with the world.  I get so nervous in front of groups and when I met you I felt it was just in perfect timing!   I had arranged for all these speaking opportunities over the next couple of weeks but had been avoiding how I would actually do it, because it scared me so much!  After my session with you I have more of a sense that I can just go up there and be myself.  I feel more at ease, more aware of what I need to do to prepare, more aware that I shouldn’t overwhelm people with information. Thank you Annette.  I am grateful. I’m sure I will want to work with you again on continuing to improve myself and my public speaking and I will absolutely refer people to you!!

I would really like to re-thank you for the great seminar that you lectured yesterday in Dixie Bloor neighbourhood centre, it was very  informative and useful, and it really increased my self confidence. 

As a real estate salesperson, I speak with people every day, but usually on a one-to-one basis. Annette showed me how to expand that skill and speak to many. It may sound daunting but Annette’s program makes you feel safe and at the same time, it gets right to the point. I learned very quickly my weaknesses but then Annette showed me how to overcome those weaknesses quickly and she gave me life long tools to use in any speaking situation, whether it be speaking to 2 people or a thousand. I appreciated how quickly we worked and after our session, I felt ready to take on any speaking engagement. I highly recommend Annette Lavigne and her Speak With Ease program!

  After taking the workshop I realized that I am still quiet by nature. But now I do not hold back and feel confident with saying what's on my mind.

My business presentations went from "lousy" to "fantastic". It was a hard working day but with amazing insights and a whole new bag of tools.  Thanks Annette for what you do.

I found the workshop educational and rewarding.  I gained a great deal in just one day and feel that this time was well spent.  I am now reconsidering the options I have ahead of me.

Total workshop was interesting and provided essential information to satisfy my needs to know what I have to do to become a paid speaker.

I found it a great way to gain confidence in a secure enviroment, knowing that everyone else is maybe feeling the same way.
