Your story is your gift to us all!
"I worked with Janelle on a presentation that I was giving to an IT group. The topic was team mission and understanding our IT mission statement. A topic that is very important and necessary but not all that exciting. Janelle recommended that we develop the presentation using a storytelling approach and it made all the difference. It turned the presentation from another PowerPoint on IT team mission to a fun and interesting story that the team really related to. Janelle's insights on how to develop and deliver a story based presentation were outstanding. If you want or need a new approach to your presentations, I highly recommend Janelle."Mike Close, Vice President of Information Technology, Perkin Elmer
"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

"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
"Janelle, your storytelling and voice coaching not only helped me as a CPA, but with a comedy routine I did the other night! I paused just at the right moments during the stories, slowed down my rapid delivery and enunciated to the point that one woman afterwards complimented me on being able to clearly understand everything I said. I also worked with room nicely with the movement tips you gave me. Thanks!"- Nick Restuccia, Rizzo & Restuccia, P. C.
