I wanted to thank you for your guidance in my meeting preparation.  Yesterday I presented my marketing plan for our new digital marketplace.  Not only did it go well, but I also got the full funding I requested with no pushback.  Today I just finished my meeting with the new head of claims and covered the tactical part of what we needed to accom...

My coach is fantastic-knowledgeable, constitutive feedback, caring, prepared, customized. Speak by Design University and Framework-Stephanie's lectures and coaching is amazing-such a pro. You guys are pros and care. More than just communication coaching-good business advice and mindset work. I would recommend Speak by Design, without reservation...

This was the most valuable training I have ever received.

Thank you again for the time today – once again, I found our session quite helpful and productive.  I also appreciate the helpful guidance and reminders and will incorporate them into my delivery with client and coworker interaction going forward.

Speak by Design has changed my mindset and behaviors toward all communication. It also equipped me with tactical skills for becoming a more effective communicator. I feel confident to communicate difficult messages to both clients and team members.

My coach gave me great advice which helped me to achieve my communication goals.  The coaching exceeded my expectations.  Overall, it will enable me to speak clearly and think before I speak.  Thank you for your great efforts and expertise.  The coaching sessions were everything I needed and very helpful in enhancing my current role.

I just wanted to share a brief success story, I was able to craft an email outlining & announcing the hiring need, discussing it on the same day & right away getting the approval and now moving forward with the next steps, all in about 2 days. That to me speaks to the impact of a coaching session!

When I started with Speak by Design, one of my goals was to have an impact on our industry by becoming more active in our industry association (Insights Association).  After a couple of months of leaning in on my effort, while utilizing your communication approaches, I am pleased to say that I will be moving into the President-Elect position.  I...

Really a great experience! Thanks!

Concrete communication tools that I can leverage every day in a wide variety of scenarios. My coach has been truly wonderful to work! Really benefiting from the experience.

I am sure that after the program I will be a different person and much better at communicating to others. Before I knew it was important, but now I can say it is crucial.

Speak by Design is a tremendous resource which tailors to your needs. From non-verbal communication to the art of countering statements and influencing others, these sessions provided me immediate and apparent results. The coaches are great at analyzing parts of your communication and helping you understand the reasons behind adjustments or diff...

My experience with Speak by Design was great! The training sessions improved my confidence level in developing the content for information that I need to present. The most important thing about working with Speak by Design is that you will learn techniques and skills that will improve your ability to organize your thoughts and develop more effec...

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you.  Recently I have gotten the opportunity to interview for a Director role – crazy right!?!?!?  I just have been in this role for a year! I have felt so confident in the process and I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for the time you invested in me to help bring Kristi back.  Watch out wo...

After I finished my presentation yesterday the words that came into my mind were “nailed it!”  A few people asked if I was a professional speaker?  Ha!  I said, “no, but I work with a professional coach!”  SBD helped me feel confident and Michelle gave me feedback in the way I like to receive it!  I look forward to my next presentation and will ...

The program was designed around my goals. Every couple of weeks, we recalibrated to ensure the sessions were consistent with where I wanted to grow. Michelle let me sit in the driver’s seat — tailoring our sessions to my broader goals and impromptu challenges. She understood from the beginning that authenticity was important to me and worked wit...

Our work in prepping for those vendor meetings was really helpful – I felt like I totally crushed it in getting them excited about the company/opportunity. The prep work and practice was really necessary and helped me figure out how to frame things concisely.

Today was a difficult day, I had my last class with one of the best professional coaches I have ever met.  The sessions were thoughtful, very productive and super helpful for that moment/use case as well as long-term.  Kat literally made me a better professional.  While I enjoyed the whole SBD experience, the 1/1 coaching is another level of tra...

When I started with Speak by Design I had some goals around how I wanted this endeavor to impact my professional life, one being to have an impact on our industry. I started using many of the techniques you SBD introduced to me during and after a couple of months of utilizing your communication approaches I am pleased to say that I will be movin...

The presentations have gone really well. I felt really good about getting those key messages out and very confident in my answers. In all, I kept finding myself continuously referring to a lot of your advice, talking slower, being more intentional with my hands, keeping answers to a core message with two supporting points, and always thinking ab...

My coach is very approachable and always asked if there were ways to customize our sessions based on upcoming projects or meetings. I would work with SBD again.

I've booked my private coaching session with Regina and had the first session with her on Wednesday. It was great. I already feel a little more confident after the first session with her.

There were too many items to pick the best part of the training - all valuable. I was apprehensive at first on this subject matter, but this was a great use of time. For a 3 hr. experience, it was very helpful. I would love to see how it would be even more effective with more time or a part 2 class

I followed my Coach’s instructions for a coaching meeting today with a client. I was excited to motivate them and noted some big changes in the conversation with the audience. Can’t wait to apply different approaches in the conversations.

I liked it was in a small group. It made me feel more comfortable.
