"Normally, I am the most terrified of terrified speakers to address a large group. Before working with Mary Anne, my writing usually rambled with emotion and conviction, but unfortunately wandered without direction or focus. I used to get so nervous, that I would forget what I wanted to say. My discomfort distracted the audience away from my topic so much that it was always a great relief for everyone when I was done. Not anymore!For the last two years Mary Anne has helped coach me, and this year my presentation was so well done, that the Washington Womenfs Foundation awarded $75,000 to my organization, The Vera Project. I was thrilled!"

"As a Board Member of the University of Washington Business and Economic Development Center, I was asked to complete the final phase of a six year, one million dollar fundraising campaign. I was given the task of making the final "ask" to push us over the top at a very high level luncheon. I have spoken in front of many groups and always gotten through the butterflies and nervousness, but this was a much larger group than I am normally accustomed to. This was also a very big deal for myself as well as my employer, Viking Bank. In addition, the President of Viking Bank would be in the audience. Too much was at stake not to ask for help.Through Mary Anne's expertise, guidance, technique and watchful eye, the presentation went off beautifully; with significantly more ease, even with last minute changes that had to be made. With Mary Anne's help, my presentation carried much more weight, clarity and also humor. We also achieved our goal, raising the last money we needed for our campaign. She is a joy and an inspiration to work with. Hire her!"
