Maryanne provided exceptional support developing my confidence and focus for several National Geographic education presentations. Over a number of one to one private sessions she taught me how to build a structured foundation into my presentations which could be delivered in a controlled and confident way to the audience. During the presentations themselves the structure provided a great deal of control in delivering the right messages, which allowed me to evoke my personality more easily. I am now equipped with a sound framework and core tools that can be adapted for future presentations. I highly recommend Maryanne’s tutelage for any public speaking preparations.

I will keep saying this but thank you; it was a special day and made only more successful having been so well prepared.
