"Thank you for your advise on my cheese talk. I did just what you said! I told the audience what was in it for them right away. I felt very comfortable and the talk was great. I really think you were supposed to be in my shop that day to help me."

 Beth is a fabulous speech coach. She knows what needs to be in a talk - and what will lose the audience. Her advice to tell personal stories - especially starting with the one about my grandfather - brought people immediately into the moment and readied them to hear the music I shared. Some presenters, who followed me, said they edited their talks to be simpler and more personal. Later, they thanked me for my example." Beth Bradfish MFA PCC, Composer, Coach and Teacher, 2015
