“We three Coordinators came to this workshop with different levels of experience and knowledge. We were all dealing with our own personal feelings of apprehension and inadequacy in relation to public speaking. Karen created a safe atmosphere enabling each of us the opportunity to explore and develop our own style of speaking. She motivated us through praise, encouragement and practical tools to recognize our strengths. She showed us how to capitalize on these strengths and to keep our audience engaged in our presentations. At the end of the workshop, we came away with more confidence and less anxiety at the thought of speaking in public. Over the last three months each of us has felt, and enjoyed (!) an increase in personal satisfaction with our public speaking skills.”
