Dear Elizabeth,

 

Let me express my sincere thanks for the excellent speech coaching you provided me. 

I’m sure you receive many positive comments, but for me your insights and

recommendations were especially helpful.

 

As you know, I often speak before groups as large as 2,000, as many as thirty times

per year, both domestically and internationally.  My status as the leading expert in

Direct Response TV advertising has been largely built upon my speaking ability. 

I often get comments about the liveliness and impact of my speeches.

 

Nonetheless, you revealed to me elements of preparation, organization, style and

delivery that I was completely unaware of.  The review of my videotaped speeches

was particularly helpful.

 

And your instruction on relaxation techniques was a lifesaver when I appeared on the

NBC “Today” show interview with Katie Couric.

 

Overall, your perceptiveness of my personal style and needs, and brilliant solutions,

improved my speaking abilities by leaps and bounds.

 

I am forever indebted to you and would unhesitatingly recommend you to any and all.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Timothy R. Hawthorne

Chairman and Executive Creative Director
