-Captain Daniel Sosnowik, Executive Development Section, NYPD, 2009


…thank you again for a really on-point valuable presentation. In a word, they were very impressed. From the critique sheets you can see they really appreciated your presentation and most wanted a much longer presentation on this topic (Public Speaking). In terms of our community meeting later in the day, I definitely saw several of (our Captains) trying to employ some of the techniques, hand gestures and the like (you provided).  We will certainly be seeing you soon.

It was a real treat to see both the Semi-Finals and Final Competition at this year’s Toastmasters International World Champion Speaker Contest. Out of the many, there were only a couple of presenters that really stood out and shined above all others. You were at the top of that list for me. You are not only an amazing speaker, but an incredible human being. When you speak with others and in front of a group, you are competent and very confident, but never arrogant. You display such poise, humor and genuine respect for others. I love public speaking and helping others and aspire to be on the International stage some day. You are an inspiration!

This presentation was the best I’ve seen in years. You did not lose me for one second. The clarity was superb. I had to come back for the second presentation to learn more.

Kudos to a perfect presentation! You have demonstrated the best qualities of a committed, interested and motivated public speaker. I came back a second time just to make sure it wasn’t just a flash in the pan.

I was reluctant at first, but the title of this presentation caused me to pause and pursue to listen. I now know that I made a very good choice, not just for the content, but the power. Having made corporate presentations myself over the years, yours was excellent. You had command of the audience, great eye contact, listened well, blended the questions into the seminar, added a little humor when needed, great hand gestures, and most of all, you moved through the audience without loosing your train of thought. The content went across with authority.

You are such a dynamic speaker.  The survey indicated you were their favorite.

Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom, presented with great humor and enthusiasm.  Your program received only the most positive comments, and was considered one of the highlights of the entire three-day schedule.

—Sharon McNulty, Director, College of Saint Elizabeth, 2005


Thank you for a spectacular presentation.  Our student’s were interested and related to your realness.  It is hard to engage a large group of girls but you did it with ease.
