CORPORATE CLIENT FEEDBACK

"...Given the feedback I have received on the 2 speaking engagements you have done for The Travel Corporation I would be a fool not to have you back for the next brochure launch; you have a way of connecting with the staff here which I don’t think anyone else would be able to duplicate. ”

“ A big thank you again for doing such an excellent job for us last Friday. Not only did you deliver a lot of great training information, but you brought the group’s energy level back up at a critical time in the afternoon and helped end the day for us on a high note. You did an excellent job. As well, your handout is amazing! I can’t believe how chock-a-block it is with useful and interesting information. It is awesome to me how much work you did in getting everything ready and presented. I really appreciate it. The group really wants to have you back to help us further improve our presentation voices, possibly toward the end of the year. Thanks again for helping make our 2nd Annual Planner’s Retreat a big success.”

Hi Kathy, Thanks for yesterday's wonderful and informative introduction to vocal development. You kept the session fun with many practical (and individualized) advice and examples.  Also thank you for the "early Christmas gift" CD. Thank you for starting this journey for me

                                                                                                                                       ... Regards, David L.   Workshop Participant, Martial Arts Instructor

 

 

Hi Kathy: Thank you for the great workshop last week. People really enjoyed it and found it very beneficial. I know they enjoyed your humour. I will keep in touch.                                                                                                ... Colleen Tripp,  President, Rainbow Toastmasters

 

 

“ I’m still is awe with what I have learned today.”                                           … Juliet Alleyne, WSIB

 

Hello ToastIT Members! What a special meeting we had on Tuesday. Kathy Thompson was a 'clarion' of information about our voices and how we can keep them healthy, and improve our vocal communication through exercises and practice. I really appreciated this presentation!! Thanks again, Kathy, for educating us about our voices.

                                                                                                                   … Regards, James Pankratz, VP of Education, Toast-I.T. 

 

 

Hello, Kathy, (We) thank you very much, again, for "How Your Voice Works" presentation yesterday, Nov. 28th. Those members who were unable to attend were very put out because they would have found this session very enlightening. I know I did. We have had several "in-house" workshops on the voice - but your presentation presented a more in-depth look at how the voice works and how we should take care of it. I am more aware now of clearing my throat and I'm working on eliminating that bad habit, as well as working on deepening my voice. From the rapt attention of club members, I'm sure your words did not fall on deaf ears. You were truly amazing!          

                                                                                                   … Valerie Springer, President,  Drew Toastmasters, Eaton Centre Tower

“ Dear Kathy,

 

I just did my exercises this morning. It’s so great to have a coach like you. You are so energetic and patient with my progress. Thanks so much for your time and effort. I began to experience what self-control is and how it can help me do other activities, such as golfing. Of course, I realize my voice and verbal English can be improved. I’m sure that reducing my accent have a positive impact on my career. I really like the ways that you approach my challenge. Your creativity, experience and knowledge make a big difference. Furthermore, your enthusiasm, patience and effort have motivated me to keep practicing. I really appreciate everything and enjoy working with you, Kathy. Thanks so much.”                                                                                                                 ... Dickson Lau, Toronto

 

 

 

“ Dear Kathy,

I just wanted to thank you for your help. I applied the suggestions you have given me and I am amazed to see the results. I am making sure that I have that smile in my voice. In fact, just a few minutes ago my manager came and gave me a very big hug. He said to me that is so happy to hear me talk like this and hears the big difference in my voice. My boss is visually impaired and not able to see anything. But he has great gifts of other senses.”                                                                                                                                                                 ...H. Haider, Toronto  

" Working with Kathy, I've had two major breakthroughs in my voice! First, I learned how to project and have a much stronger, resonant voice. Second, I learned techniques to improve my diction which help me immensely in speaking to an audience in acting and singing. I can't think of how I was able to communicate effectively before I met her?  I'm getting excellent feedback in my work and my opportunities continue to expand because the trust and confidence I have in myself shines.

                           ... Kara Flanagan

     Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts 

" Kathy, your help and encouragement are greatly appreciated. "

   

                          ... Jerry Rose, Author

Hi Kathy,

I learned  a lot from our session today regarding improvision presentation skills. I appreciate your help. I will practice everyday and video tape it.  

                      ....Jen Chua, Insurance Account Specialist
