"I am a native Spanish speaker living in the U.S. for fourteen years, always interacting with business people from all regions of the world on a regular basis. Part of my profession involves public speaking in English. Even after all these years, a series of sessions on accent reduction and public speaking coaching with Janelle have improved my confidence and communication. I recommend Janelle because of her proficiency and technical approach. Janelle is highly competent, not only in language and presentation skills, but also in the difficult art of coaching itself." Ricardo Villate
Group Vice President, Latin America at IDC

"Twenty years ago, I could hardly stand before a crowd never mind speak to them. I had awful anxiety, hideous habits and one time blacked out during a presentation. I needed help so I turned to Janelle. Janelle worked with me to craft a clear message and learn to deliver a powerful presentation. Fast forward and today I'm an award winning speaker. My transformation from a nervous talker to a confident speaker started by working with Janelle. I've recommended her to several colleagues for media coaching, large group presentations and ways to be more influential in the board room. Each one was very impressed with Janelle's unique process she has honed over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend Janelle to anyone looking to improve their ability to present themselves and ideas." Michael Shipman
Vice President, Talent Development Rockland Trust

"As I prepared for an increase in public speaking opportunities, Janelle helped me to discover the blind spots in my presentations, ensuring explicit takeaways for the audience, following a logical overall sequence, transitioning more smoothly from slide to slide, timing the delivery of information chunks, tailoring eye contact to my voice track, and grounding the progress and “whereabouts” of the presentations with my audiences. This made a vast difference in the success of my presentations and provided me with a road map for future speaking opportunities." George Despres
Program Director for University Records Management
Brandeis University

"Janelle's knowledgeable advice and warm encouragement helped me greatly improve the power and expressiveness of my voice recordings for multimedia storytelling projects. She quickly assessed my needs and made sure that our work was focused and productive. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the process fun. Speech improvement is a fascinating learning experience, and Janelle is an excellent guide." - Dorothea Black, Independent School Library Director

"I have recently started a business doing jazz history presentations. Janelle Winston helped me immeasurably. For PowerPoint, Janelle has shown me how to display simple, clear visual information that tells a story. She has guided me to weave a narrative from disparate elements. More than anything, she has taught me to speak from my passion - to just be myself. Now my audiences ask, "When are you coming back?" - Peter Gerler, jazz writer and speaker

"Janelle is an incredibly gifted storytelling and presentation coach. Her suggestions on organization and delivery are brilliant. She helped me put together several successful keynotes, including one for a hospital and another for a meeting of nurses and hospice workers. I wouldn't give a speech without calling Janelle!" Jeannie Lindheim, Founder
Hearts and Noses Hospital Clown Troupe
