Behavioral Presentation Coaching
- The training you provided was priceless. No doubt in my mind it will enable me to prepare myself for success!!
- Insightful and helps break down ‘presentation’ into tangible, digestible pieces. Introspective.
- This program exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot and will take many new ideas with me
- This program is valuable to anyone presenting regardless of experience
- You tailored this so well to our company and our internal communication goals
- This is helpful, not only for professional improvement, but also in personal life
- It helped me already today
- It’s very helpful to be coached & it’s almost impossible to find the time to do it without external help
- Your Behavioral Presentation Coaching Workshop was a fantastic learning opportunity
- Working collaboratively the group benefited from the interactive, educational & fun exercises. You are an expert team!
- My delivery was noticeably enhanced as a result of your guidance
- Liz and Steve took what can be a very uncomfortable task to do (show our weaknesses) and made it fun, useful & positive
- They bring the added benefit of both the male & female perspective
- I have been to other presentation classes that were too general. The fact that you knew the audience and understood the specific challenges of our “day-to-day” presentations made this a very useful program
- It was beneficial for people at various levels of presentation skills, meaning it was useful for a beginner like me, but also for someone more seasoned looking to refine their skills / “up their game”
- Very engaging. Good use of ‘games’ to help identify development areas
- It helps one learn about themselves to better themselves in large conferences or small groups
- It’s hard to imagine not holding this type of training for anyone who gives presentations
- Everyone can use a professional coach for presentations. It is one of the soft skills that don’t come naturally even to presenters that present on a regular basis
Women’s Leadership Workshops
- Hands down the most engaging, knowledge-filled conference I’ve attended to date
- I recommend this session to women, especially as they are growing their careers, as it can help build awareness of their communication styles & assist them with building their brand & developing their career
- Very helpful to me to further my communication with senior management
- I feel inspired to better myself & be more assertive and confident at work
- This program is revealing & necessary for personal & professional growth & comfort
- Very helpful workshop for women who aren’t confident in their presentation skills. Applies to more than professional situations.
- I felt validated and liked that I learned new, useful things… refreshing way to examine how I work and interact with others
- Made me aware of things that I was doing & not doing. Moving forward, this program will help me be more intentional with my interactions
- A lot of valuable information. Makes you think about some things you typically wouldn’t. Enjoyed how interactive it was rather than lecture-style
- Resourceful to think about how we carry ourselves, first impressions, speaking up for ideas and networking
- Amazing reflection of how I portray myself to others
- Helpful for everyone, every level. Knowing your behavior will help convey thoughts / ideas
- Motivating & inspiring for women to know they can break through the ‘boys club’ mentality
- Nice to realize I’m not the only woman facing the same challenges
- Helped me recognize many areas I can improve upon but also acknowledge my strengths
- Covered a lot of topics women struggle with but don’t have anyone to turn to for help
- Reveals many issues that are so integral to my everyday life but I don’t stop to think about because I’m so focused on my day-to-day workflow
Capital Raising Roadshow Prep
- We will not launch a new fund without first bringing Liz and Steve in to work with the team
- Great training for anyone who is client-facing

Investor Conference Prep
- Steve Felix and his partner, Elizabeth Weiner, facilitated a presentation coaching workshop with our senior team. It was extremely well received. The coaching helped focus and improve the presentation skills of our executives immediately, in advance of our annual investor conference. As an added bonus, the workshop proved to be a fun and worthwhile team building exercise.
- I want to express my gratitude for your help in improving my communication effectiveness. My colleagues complimented me on the relaxed style and audience engagement observed as I presented to clients at our annual conference. I attribute much of my improvement to the time I spent with you. My delivery was noticeably enhanced as a result of your guidance. I look forward to working with you in the future
- Our investor conference went better than great. Your suggestion to have our younger people speak about their deals was something I had been thinking about but when you talked about it it was all I needed. I’m happy to be a reference for you anytime
- Our presentations were crisp and on time
- People were well-prepared and presentations were shorter and to the point
Improving Networking Skills
- Made me more confident and feel like I want to try going to networking sessions
- I’ve been at a few networking events since then and have been practicing asking open-ended questions (and introducing myself) with the tips you shared, it’s made it a lot easier!
- Really enjoyed this! Will definitely be using this for the upcoming ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers) conference and networking

- Able to communicate content productively and felt an inner confidence while delivering my message
- I appreciate the opportunity to go deep into all of the dynamics of my business – we uncovered a lot… The impact started during our time and it is lasting [LinkedIn, business card, pitching, bio, about us, Q&A]… It gave me specific areas and tools to apply the new knowledge. I greatly appreciate your guidance

Interview Skills, Drills & Thrills
- Thank you for your help preparing for the interviews. I was ready for whatever came my way
- You’ve been very instrumental in my ‘career rebranding’ mission. My interviewer said, “your passion for what you do really comes out in your voice and energy” – I can’t express my gratitude enough. Couldn’t have done it without you

I also learned the seemingly minor things such as tips of shaking hands and the importance of a thank you note like this. The workshop was very engaging and my classmates and I improved from it. I hope more and more individuals can benefit from your coaching because it is really, really helpful, not only in the business world, but almost within all other environments. Thank you again!
