"I am so glad that we invested in your coaching. Our employee is presenting herself so much better and we felt good promoting her. She is doing a fantastic job in her new role."

"I really appreciate Lynda Stucky. She gave me very good help with my English speaking. Before this training, I didn't even think I could improve my speaking. I had learned English for almost 20 years, and I knew I had heavy accent. I tried many methods, but none worked for me. I just wanted to give this training a try because my company would pay for it. I took the training and I soon realized, I could make changes in my speaking. I found there were so many techniques I did not know that were so useful. After several months of training and practicing, 15 minutes almost every day, I felt more and more comfortable with my speaking, and I heard less "Pardon"s in my conversations. I did not struggle to find a better way to express myself. I will keep practice all the knowledge/techniques Lynda gave me, and I am sure I will continue to get much better."

"Lynda helped me become a better communicator in many areas of my work. From giving presentations to talking to colleagues, I feel much more confident and articulate about my speaking skills. Lynda's coaching style was open and honest. She gave me the necessary feedback to improve my skills. She encouraged me to continue to develop. I would recommend this training for anyone who wants to speak clearly at work. Thank you very much, Lynda, for helping me!"

"After 20 years of broadcasting, often in noisy settings, my voice started to wear out. The 7 minute warm-up helped release my tension, especially in my neck and shoulders. Lynda also immediately helped me identify the bad habits I'd developed and provided effective, time efficient solutions. Lynda's passion for helping people improve their speaking is apparent, and her expertise unquestioned. Everyone from Fran Drescher to James Earl Jones could benefit from Lynda's speech tips."

"Hi Lynda,
I have become so much more conscious of Ummmm's. I came home and made a 4 minute video and didn't Umm once. Thank you so much for that. And thanks for the information as well
Sincerely,

Your feedback was extremely useful. I liked your initial brief snapshot of your assessment of the many different aspects of my voice. This gave me a quick overview of my vocal strengths and weaknesses. Your deeper and more targeted feedback in the paragraph that followed then gave me a deeper understanding of some of my vocal challenges and some specific action steps I can take to start to overcome them. Your "expressiveness" handout was also a wonderful training aid to help me develop my ability to be even more expressive. You are a very skilled and capable vocal coach."

"Your training did wonders for me! I no longer worry about the way I sound over the phone. Before your coaching I had tried to make changes on my own by reading voice books and listening to CDs. They were valuable but they didn't help me achieve my new style of speaking in conversation! Your plan to systematically take the extra step so that my skills transfer into every day speech was the absolute best! Thank you!"
Kelly Rainey
Executive Secretary
"Lynda,
I just did the vocal warm up exercises – they are incredible! I always have neck and jaw pain and for the first time in 2 years, I don't! I will be using these exercises daily – thank you! Really, these are wonderful exercises and your voice is so soothing, as is the music."

"Hi Lynda,
Thanks again for all of your help with my pet bereavement CD!! Everything helped, but the reworking of the second affirmation was a huge problem solved. Everyone loves that section, both the new emphasis of the repetition and saying it sooner. Your coaching me to move from the "reading" sound to a natural conversation sound was also incredibly useful."
