"Laurie has been a great coach and tremendous help in improving the quality of my presentations. The use of practice sessions / video tools as well as current best practice training were well balanced and supported the learning process. Her openness and honesty as well as willingness to assist in many complementary areas (effective video / teleconferencing, tone, posture, stress management etc.) made her a real pleasure to work with. She has made herself available to support and provide feedback on day-to-day issues/questions during our time together. I fully recommend and endorse her services. "
