Comments. Here are just a few of the comments made by people who have seen me in action:

You are an expert speaker -- a pleasure to watch.
In group skills practices I have observed [Leanne] take charge when the group needed direction. Whereas she is self-directed, pro-active and highly motivated, she also can listen well and take direction.
[Leanne] keeps us on schedule, we address all items on the outline in the time allowed and most importantly we have fun!
Very informative, motivating speech.
Enjoyed audience participation - kept everyone engaged.

Preparation and Practice, 11:04, March 2006, Toastmasters Better Speakers Series, individualized presentation based on Toastmasters' material

Made me think about how I can get over my fears.
From the back of the room your voice was very clear and your inflection was full of energy.
A special sharing of a secret was wonderfully appealing to your audience.

Dialogue was phenomenal! Never seen it done so well.

Partners in Results. I partner with with you to achieve the results you want. I focus energy to:

listen to you, and
be a subject matter expert.
I listen to you by:

seeking information from you regarding what you want and using that information to design appropriate presentations,
obtaining and focusing on verbal, non-verbal, and written feedback and adjusting on the fly,
obtaining verbal and written feedback after and adjusting as appropriate.

In this way, I control the quality of the presentations I develop and deliver, while constantly improving to meet your needs. In particular, I focus on:

partnering with you, as described above;
creating a safe environment for sharing and participation;
ensuring content is applicable for and usable by you;
having you try skills on the spot, as appropriate;
providing up-to-date, new knowledge at the right level; and
seeking and incorporating feedback constantly.

I become a subject matter expert in an area by efficiently and effectively researching the range of materials in the area and compiling the most important information. I also tell you when I do not know an answer, and get an answer for you.
Visual, Kinesthetic, and Auditory Instruction that Allows for Different Personalities. As a trained coach, I understand that people are most comfortable taking in data in one of 3 ways: visually, kinesthetically, or auditorily. As a qualified administrator and interpreter of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I understand that some people prefer to think through new data, some prefer to talk through new data, some need specifics before the big picture, and some need the big picture before specifics. Therefore, in designing and delivering material, I ensure that I provide the opportunity for you to take in and process data in the way in which you are most comfortable and learn best, with opportunity to experience the data in other modes.
