"Heidi has been very valuable to me in honing my public speaking skills. Going well beyond her obvious mastery of technique, she draws on an intuitive sense of each person's innate approach, enabling people to speak more clearly and effectively out of our natural selves. It has been a delight to work with her, and I would recommend her highly to anyone serious about growing in this important leadership skill."

"I consulted with Heidi for about a year during a very turbulent period in our company's history. Heidi helped me greatly with presentation skills and techniques that were applied effectively to both external and internal constituencies...Heidi helped enormously in getting emotional/human communications across to our employee groups. ...several of the team had remarked on my improved communications and wanted to experience the same progress."

"You did a terrific job last week (as usual!). You rolled with the punches and delivered great coaching. Its a strong testimony to your skill that several people said they were really pressed for time, but then ended up staying with you for lengthy coaching sessions. Thanks for flexing with such a challenging environment and delivering such great work. I heard nothing but praises coming from all who interacted with you."

"I had recently taken over a new leadership role at Schwab when I needed to prepare for a big annual conference where I had to speak to a group of our top 300 institutional clients. Having spoken before large groups before, I didn't think I needed a speech coach. How wrong I was!! With Heidi Wise's guidance, I was able to significantly improve my delivery and own the stage. Heidi encouraged me with patience, optimism and humor. I received many comments from clients like you did a terrific job, you sounded like a pro and you looked so comfortable up there. With Heidi's direction and support, I was able to significantly improve my presentation style over a short period of time and make a strong first impression with clients."
