Coaching Results

“I just had to share this with you.  I spoke last Wednesday to 1200 people.  I nailed it.  It was the storytelling, humor and staging that you’ve taught me.  The content was the same except for this.  I had people lined up and the meeting planner said I was the best speaker they’d ever had.   Thanks for your coaching and ongoing support.  You’ve got a gift.”

“Today, I experienced a career highlight thanks to you.  I delivered my new keynote that you helped me with and the feedback and response was miraculous!  The West ballroom at the Broadmoor Hotel was filled to capacity, standing room only!  I experienced a connection with the audience that I have literally never felt before.  The overwhelming feedback from people was how “heartfelt” my message was.  I certainly have had many positive comments following presentations before but never has ANYONE ever used the word “heartfelt!” 

I also sold more books that I have ever sold BOR.  I actually sold out which has literally never happened before.  People laughed & cried and the energy in the room was amazing.  People were totally glued and completely connected to every word I said.  Several other advanced speakers were in my audience and they were blown away too. 

Thank you so much for all your help.  The Story Theater Retreat and the private coaching that I did with you over the past two months is totally responsible for this transformation.  You helped me realize my dream and I will be forever grateful to both of you.”

“I got a standing ovation!!  Today was my first presentation since taking your Story Theater Retreat in December.  I have worked very hard on my speech since that time and I tried to remember all of the wonderful tips and information you provided.  When I met you, I had a problem with anxiety and eye contact, but not today.  I was so comfortable I could not believe it.   The speech was motivational and related to my survival with cancer.  I kept it upbeat and humorous.  I added all of the stories about my grandma, the funny ones and the touching ones.  I got belly laughs, sometimes when I least expected them, and lots of smiles. 

When I finished, everyone came up to me, except for one young guy, to tell me how great my speech was and how much they enjoyed it.  I kept wondering about the guy who didn’t speak to me.  Several of the people told me that it appeared that my speech was speaking directly to him and that he was very moved and touched by it.  They told me he needed to hear everything I said, especially the words, “find your greatest strength at your weakest moment.”©  You see, his wife died of cancer two months ago. 

I wanted to take a moment to thank you.  You impacted my professional life just like I apparently impacted the life of this young man today. 
       
Thanks so much, Kathy Fortune, M.D.
