What Participants Say After Working With Bee

People don’t just enjoy the workshop they leave speaking differently.

  • "I finally felt relaxed and confident speaking and I stopped overthinking every word. I could be present, use humor naturally, and people actually leaned in when I spoke

    - Maria Gladstone, Project Manager

  • Got to understand what I wanted to say and how to say it. The exercises helped me structure my thoughts clearly. People understood me better, and I didn’t ramble or freeze anymore.”

    — Jorge St. Juste, IT Consultant

  • Bee, our instructor, was incredibly caring and supportive, creating a relaxed space where everyone felt safe to participate. We learned simple breathing and relaxation techniques, practiced speaking in front of the group, and explored how humor can boost confidence. There was a lot of laughter, connection, and personal growth packed into a short time. I left feeling more confident, energized, and inspired. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone in a fun and supportive way!

    —Natalia McGlinchey/ Heidelberg Professional Women’s Forum, President

  • Working with Bee has been a great boost for my presentation and public speaking skills. From our very first session, I felt her commitment to helping me improve. Bee introduced me to effective breathing techniques that have significantly enhanced my ability to project my voice with clarity and control. Beyond voice projection, Bee guided me in refining the narrative I wanted to share. She helped me clarify my story, emphasizing the importance of intonation and rhythm. Through her coaching, I learned how to use pauses strategically, creating moments for my audience to reflect on key points. This has not only made my presentations more impactful but has also boosted my confidence as a speaker. I am incredibly grateful for Bee's guidance, as she has helped me improve my skills to connect with my audience and deliver my message with authenticity and power.

  • I truly enjoyed Bee’s online workshop “become a stand up communicator” and love her creative approach to engage us with our environment and each other and use humor to unleash deeper connections, and all of that was through a screen. Can’t wait to attend one of her live ones. I also enjoy reading her newletter topics, many informative and applicable insights regarding communication awareness and startegies.
