WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Here's what book buyers, private clients, university students, and seminar participants who have experienced Speechcoach Elayne Snyder's unique approach say:

  • Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful speech course. I'm sure you know that for many of us who take a course like this, it's about more than knowing a useful professional skill - it's also about growing as a person and overcoming fears. You provided the best possible environment for that, with lots of encouragement and constant gentle pressure. I was amazed at the results for everyone including myself. It was a big first step for me, and I'm glad this was the class I ended up taking.
