Testimonials
“I do a lot of public speaking, but often to a teleprompter. When it came time for me to prepare to deliver a TEDxSaltLakeCity talk, to actual people, I really benefited from Beth’s coaching. She worked with me to engage my body language to enhance my overall message. Deliberate gestures and nuances reinforced what I wanted to say, improved my effectiveness and made me more interesting. She helped me better take command of my space and seem more confident. I continue to use her coaching on and off camera to use body language as a resource.”
— Deanie Wimmer, KSL News Anchor, 2016 TEDxSaltLakeCity speaker
“Beth exudes a passion for supporting people in their public speaking journey and bringing out their best selves on stage. I was fortunate to have Beth assigned to me as my TEDxSaltLakeCity coach and years later has still supported me in TEDxICU in Tokyo! By teaching me a variety of speaking techniques and exercises, she helped me gain insights into my strengths, weaknesses, and passions as a storyteller. I was able to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and confidence in myself. I strongly recommend Beth to anyone seeking an inspiring coach with experience and intuition regarding public speaking coaching, and mentorship.”
– Elizabeth Katherine Gamarra, Ministry of Education Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) Fellow
“I can’t thank Beth enough for both written advice and presentation advice. I did not think I was that nervous about public speaking and have done it “off the cuff” many times, but this process has helped me realize that I am, in fact, nervous and that there are things I can do about it. It has also made me realize how much more of an impact I could have if I prepared differently. I will be using Beth’s tips and advice to keep practicing. She has been wonderful.”
— Laura McKelvey, Shelter Manager PAWS Atlanta
“Beth was really good at helping me hone my idea. She helped me create a balance between the actionable message I wanted to share and personal experiences that illustrated my point.”
—Baya Voce, media personality, experience and event planner, and 2016 TEDxSaltLakeCity speaker
“I have been public speaking for years, and it is something I’ve always enjoyed and felt comfortable doing. That said, it wasn’t until my TEDxSaltLakeCity experience that I received speaker coaching for the first time. Beth and her team not only helped me with my TEDx talk, but their coaching has transformed the way I speak publicly. If you’re someone who speaks regularly or who wants to be a better public speaker, I can’t recommend Beth more highly.”
— Davis Smith, President/CEO of Cotopaxi and 2016 TEDxSaltLakeCity speaker
“Beth is a gifted coach who is especially primed to support individuals to hone their speaking skills and message into the highly specialized platform for the Ted/Tedx stage. She embodies a wonderful blend of confidence builder and editor. She can be strong and honest in her feedback, yet compassionate and nurturing. These are the elements I most needed to prepare me for my Tedx talk. I believe that her talent was the defining factor in my success. I also note that it was her stellar capacity to bring humor and technical information into a speech that included a deeply personal story which made all the difference in my experience with TedxSaltLakeCity 2018.”
—Lyn Christian, Founder and CEO of SoulSalt, 2018 TEDxSaltLakeCity speaker
“Beth was instrumental for me helping truly own my voice and dig down deep for my TEDx training and further for my public speaking growth. She taught me the power that less is more when speaking and writing. She has an innate ability to understand and see that your subconscious has more to say. I encourage anyone who wants to truly express themselves to work with Beth.”
