I hired Laura to coach my grand daughter after she fell apart during a presentation she was giving. It was extremely important to me that I find a coach who would build her up, encourage her with presentation tips and bring out her strengths and confidence. I sat in on their session and decided that I needed Laura's coaching too! My grand daughter and I left our session feeling renewed in confidence! Laura is a Gem!

"I’ve relied on Laura as a coach to help me work through important issues I’ve not been able to budge on by myself. We’ve worked on career next steps, negotiating a job offer and key decision-making. What’s most striking about Laura’s coaching is her way of quickly getting me to an “Aha” moment. It’s from this place we seem to discover where I need to go, why, and how I get there. It’s quite an impressive process!"

"'Oh my gosh!' Those were my words after seeing the black and white transformation of one of Laura’s executive clients. I saw a palpable change in his ability to speak and impact a crowd of hundreds.

Laura Fay’s confidence coaching made all the difference."

For years, Laura has done a fabulous job in helping me to prepare and to gain confidence in making presentations (which I used to dread). She has a unique ability to get to the bottom line quickly (this has saved me time and money without compromising in quality). I recommend you give Laura a call. I guarantee you will be glad you did.

I would strongly recommend hiring Laura! As a new author, Laura coached me through all aspects of my presentation: what to wear, how to be introduced, how to stand, how to end, and most of all, how to present myself and my book with confidence.
