"Working with Nicole was one of the most beneficial things I’ve done for myself both personally and professionally. For a final interview with a tech company for whom I was very eager to work, I met with Nicole to prepare for an intensive 30 minute powerpoint presentation. Without the ability to use notes, I was terrified of being able to learn all the material in a way that seemed natural and conversational. I met with Nicole for several 1 hour sessions in which I worked through the content of the presentation, learned ways to feel empowered, and honed skills to calm my nerves and connect with the audience. She was flexible with her schedule, responsive outside of our sessions, and unbelievably supportive. I ultimately got the job offer and received the strongest feedback on my presentation. They noted my strong cadence, my ability to engage with the audience in a relatable way, and most importantly, my confidence. I can matter-of-factly say that I would have not been able to give such a successful presentation without Nicole.”

“Most of us dread speaking in public, counting down the minutes until we need to take the stage and then doing our best to not visibly shake when delivering a speech. Enter Nicole. I took her workshop and she provided valuable tips for public speaking. As someone who was a member of Toastmasters, I found more value in Nicole's 2 hour workshop than my entire 6 months with Toastmasters. I believe that everyone can learn something from Nicole's workshop. If you speak publicly once a week or once a year, you will find value in her workshop.”

—Alex Lemieux Director of Sales and Revenue, The Wort Hotel

"I've been giving presentations for years to both small and very large audiences. I'm generally known as a pretty good presenter but Nicole really helped me up my game. With just a few hours of coaching she made tremendous improvements to both my presentation material and delivery. She gave me a few tools that are easy to learn, but not obvious without the feedback. I still have plenty of room to improve - so I'm going back for more coaching soon!"

“Being someone who gets incredibly nervous when public speaking, I wasn’t looking forward to my chiropractic school personal interview. Since I knew I was going to be asked questions about my own background and experiences, I was mostly just worried about being able to present my answers clearly and confidently. However, through Nicole’s public speaking exercises and mock interview sessions, I was able to speak confidently at my interview and I felt like I had an answer to every question that was thrown at me. She was also incredibly helpful in going through my backstory and highlighting the points that the interviewers would most like to hear. A week after my interview, I found out I was accepted to the best chiropractic school in the country. Thanks Nicole!”

-Andy Phillips, Professional Athlete

“Thank you so much! One woman told me, “You commanded that stage!”

Ummm…Never heard that before. I loved working with you and would love to work with you every time I have to be in front of a crowd. It’s incredibly helpful.”

“Being an author means working many solitary hours, so suddenly having to present publicly to a crowd can be awkward, and success is unreliable. After working with Nicole, my presentation skills changed dramatically, allowing me to connect in a much deeper way with my audience. This translated to triumph when children I spoke to, who were previously reluctant readers and writers, had breakthroughs and told their teachers that now they knew they could write. Adults at a writers conference were so moved by my talk, the silent auction scholarship fundraiser I work on brought in 25% more in donations than any of the past five years. I know this is a direct response to the manner in which I am now comfortable speaking to small and large groups of people. Thank you, Nicole and PRESeNT!”

“Nicole is a true expert who brings a deep understanding of performance on command. Her methods and approach resonate readily and are easy to adopt immediately. I worked with Nicole in preparation for investor pitch, awards acceptance speech and messaging of my own story. Nicole is outstanding!”

- Julie Choi, founder of pointr.co

"Working with Nicole was a transformative experience. I was on a personal quest to tackle some of my fears and public speaking was near the top of the list. I envied people that delivered clear, concise and engaging talks without hesitation. I met with Nicole and within one hour, she had given me enough tools and buoyed my strength to be able to read that night for a part on the stage. I furthered my work with Nicole through a group session and have since vowed to always have her in my corner. Nicole was flexible, knowledgeable and so powerful to work with that I would recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their communication skills. She made a seemingly impossible feat into something attainable, which is more than you can ever ask of someone. Nicole is a gift.”

"A few months ago, I was asked to present to a group of 50+ investment professionals at a firm we recently formed a relationship with. While I felt comfortable with the topic, the content is somewhat technical and audience was new to our firm and our services offerings. Also, while I often present to small groups informally, this was, frankly, intimidating. Nicole Garrett was instrumental in helping me prepare.  She helped me ‘get the kinks out’ of my presentation, worked with me on language fluidity, speed, pauses, etc. and taught me performance techniques to enhance my connection with the audience. I plan to work with Nicole on future public speaking engagements.”

— B.A. TEO, CTFA, Principal

“Public speaking can be a daunting task, but Nicole's excellent teaching skills can give anyone the tools necessary to stand up in front of a crowd.  Offering specific skills and unfettered encouragement, Nicole turned my fear into confidence.”

- Margaret Hutton, Director of Faith, Care and Action, St. John's Episcopal Church

"The presentation went off without a hitch, and I felt much more prepared and confident speaking at the podium than ever before. I applied so many of the skills and tactics that I learned in your workshop. Thanks so much for everything that you taught me! I've already recommended you to several friends who've expressed that they "dread" public speaking or have major anxiety about being in the spotlight.”

“2-Minutes flat: the clocked time I would have to pitch my new book.  The audience would be weary. The competition, stiff... It was Nicole, who with her expertise, wisdom, tricks-of-the-trade, patience  and effervescent enthusiasm led me to success. She pressed me towards clarity and brevity until my material was lean and compelling. Then, she artfully coached me in the science of presentation. When the 2-minute clock went off, I not only felt confident in my presentation, but joyful. Nicole is a secret weapon, a pro and a delight to work with. Truly can’t wait to work with her again.”
