We had people flying in from Europe, across the US and Canada to attend our event. We'd invested a considerable amount into the venue, catering, and AV to make it a success. And while we'd intentionally chosen the speakers because of the impact of their work, they were all at different experience levels as speakers. With Andrew's expertise and tailored guidance, all the speakers excelled on stage.

In Robb's words who was creating a signature event for his growing company:
"Andrew met with half a dozen speakers individually before the event. He helped them understand what we wanted and then guided as individuals.
It was inspiring to see how he meet each speaker where they were and gave them exactly what they needed to present better. Some required assistance in reframing their message & story while others struggled with body language & stage presence. Regardless of what they needed, he helped every one of them present more clearly & confidently.
Andrew is a professional. His immense experience from having done 100s of events showed in ways that we hadn't even considered: insightful additions to the initial package provided to the speakers, adding in morning of 1on1 pre-event speaker prep time with him, and re-arranging room set-up to get the audience / speaker distance right."
and direct from some of the people whom I coached:
"Andy's approach is about allowing you to be yourself in front of a group of people. He doesn't try and get you to fit into a box or ridged ways of speaking, he encourages you to own your style so you and the audience can connect with what you have to say. Andy not only cares about his clients, he cares deeply about what they have to say - and that means a lot!"

"A ten-minute talk. Piece of cake, right? I can do this. Not so fast. Sometimes they flow, but this time it just did not. Luckily, I was connected with Andy. In just two quick sessions, he made some suggestions that caused it to flow seamlessly, wrapping in my story and ending with an impactful message. Andy has wonderful skills, and don't hesitate to call him up today!
You don't even know how much your speaking and presentations need help, until you have Andy helping. With almost ten years of experience in speaking, I had no idea the value of a speaking coach. Truly awesome experience."
