Testimonial
“Judy is an awesome coach and mentor and I have blossomed as a speaker and as a person under
her tutelage. Judy meets me where I am, without judgment. I have no fear of putting anything I am
working on in front of her and know she will acknowledge my efforts, emphasize the positive, point out
what could be better and draw me forward to the next level of professionalism with heart. Judy can make
lemonade out of anything – not just lemons! I have downloaded the jumble of ideas for a speech which
were chasing their tails around in my head. She has catalyzed me to draw the threads together, and weave
an elegant tapestry of a speech to wrap around my audience and warm their hearts. Judy is a seasoned
presenter, singer, entertainer, and I WANT TO BE LIKE HER SOMEDAY… And of course, she would
say, “You are already like you and that is the best you that you can be!” Thank you Judy for sharing yourself
with me!"

Testimonial
“To see Judy work with a group is a great pleasure. She is completely present with you, right in your
space; open, accepting - where you are is OK - it’s a great place to be. Judy walks with you one step,
hand in hand - safe, so safe you find yourself doing something you never thought possible - and having fun
doing it! Shallow tight breathing becomes deep soulful sighs. Sighs become notes, notes phrases, songs,
harmonies and more; never once feeling pushed, just a little stretch, a small safe step to victory. Thank
you Judy, I never thought I could sing or speak, and it was fun!"
