She not only helped me discover how to turn a long, dry presentation into a story that is interactive and interesting, but also helped me understand what it was that triggered my nervousness and gave me great suggestions on how to control it.

“I have had the pleasure of retaining Kayla Schwartz as a Presentation Coach for my clients and I was so impressed by her caring and insightful technique that I am now a client myself.

She provides total support for speakers to help present themselves in the most professional and authentic light. From a client’s initial speech outline to crafting a compelling story, to taking the stage, Kayla is not only a compassionate coach, she is a true partner.  She is by the client’s side and if needed, provides excellent writing and editing support to ensure that the speaker’s message really resonates with the audience.

Kayla Schwartz’ knowledge of public speaking and its “human aspect” is remarkable. She continually shares new insights and updates and I find them applicable to many areas in one’s life.”

“As a presenter I have found that every session I have had with Kayla has been rewarding and an eye opening learning experience.

Kayla is an outstanding and excellent coach. I am highly impressed with her approach, skills and style and I highly recommend her to those needing that level of expertise.”

“Kayla is a true professional, whose training and experience as a speaking coach helped me to bring clarity to my message, showing me how to put my thoughts into an orderly fashion for delivery, giving me the confidence to speak from the heart, rather than like a canned speech being read from a teleprompter. As important, she taught me how to project my voice and myself, how to stand, use my hands and feel comfortable with myself. I would heartily recommend her to any professional who may be great at their game and in a one-to-one situation, but who need that special touch when addressing others in a larger arena.”
