Testimonials

Maryanne’s pitch coaching is a fantastic course. I’ve always had a fear of pitching and public speaking and now I feel I have the tools and skill I need to go into any pitch in the future.

Sarah Robertson, Senior Account Manager, BIG Partnership
Maryanne was recommended to me by a Partner in Scott Moncrieff who had engaged her to develop an Effective Spoken Communication programme for their firm. My requirements were different to this but I was assured she would develop a 1-1 programme that would be specific to me.

I had recently been appointed as CEO to a very prestigious, historical board and I wanted to ensure I could deliver my points over clearly and confidently. I was mindful that I spoke very quickly when I felt pressure or under stress and wanted to develop skills to manage this.

I had a telephone consultation with Maryanne and was a bit apprehensive as she had mentioned she would be recording and playing back our consultations. However, after some thought I decided I would give it a go.

I can honestly say my one to one programme was amazing, after the first session I forgot the camera was rolling. It was amazing to watch back the footage from start to finish. I am now very confident in delivering my point and am happy to say my confidence in my new role has developed considerably. Thanks Maryanne it is all down to you!!

Pamela Kidd, Dean and Cauvin Trust
Maryanne was very engaged and enthusiastic from the outset. She understood our needs and knew which approach to take to give us the most benefit. The regular contact was great for keeping momentum and the handling of the mock pitch and feedback was excellent.
