Picture This

Imagine yourself standing on a grand stage, the spotlight beaming down upon you. As you take a deep breath, you feel a surge of confidence welling up from within. The room is filled with eager faces, all eyes fixed on you, waiting to be inspired. In this powerful moment, you are fully present, owning the stage with unwavering authority.

As you begin to speak, your voice carries with clarity and conviction. Each word flows effortlessly, resonating with the audience in a profound way. Your gestures are purposeful, amplifying the impact of your message. The atmosphere is electric, as if the energy of the room is pulsating through your veins.

You can sense the connection forming between you and your audience. They lean forward, hanging onto your every word, captivated by the authenticity and passion that radiate from you. Every pause you take is met with anticipation, as they eagerly await the next nugget of wisdom or powerful revelation.

Amanda's wisdom and creative technique have helped me focus on what I like about my work and my research when I present. I was even relaxed enough the last time to joke around with my co-panelists!

Amanda’s help was transformational.  In addition to teaching me to reframe my mental construct around presenting (which itself was worth the investment), she provided the actual tools to make me better at it.

Being able to apply these tools, and even more importantly THINK about applying these skills in the moment (rather than being distracted by less helpful thoughts), makes me feel like I now have the “secret” to doing this well.

I find myself actually looking forward to presenting.
