"Thank you Kathryn for conducting a wonderful and interactive Workshop for our Business Students. The "Voice of Success" Workshop was very well received by our students. They enjoyed the interactive nature of the vocalization exercises and the skill building techniques you shared, which has helped them both in an academic setting, as well as in their career search. Your professionalism, flexibility and insight was refreshing and it was a pleasure working with you. Overall, the Workshop scored a 3.8/4 which is fantastic!"

"My centre regularly invited Kathryn Preston to facilitate group voice coaching sessions because our clients always left those sessions with smiles on their faces and feeling more confident in their ability to communicate their way to achieving their career goals."

"I think that your presentation, in a small group has great value . . . With so much of our job focusing around personal or telephone contact, and with so little formal expert training or facilitation being offered in peer groups, it goes a long way . . ."

"At the request of the Ontario Unit Manager and to benefit from Kathryn's previous experience, Kathryn took on the responsibility of Call Monitoring and Call Coaching for the Ontario Unit as well as for some members of the Operations Department. Everyone found this to be very beneficial and results were demonstrated in the improvement in the quality of calls."

"I just wanted to briefly touch base with you and thank you again for the impact you've had on my life and my professional conduct. The classes I took with you really helped me become more aware of my voice and the way I make myself heard. I have yet to perfect the art of mastering my voice but with practice, I can see the results and the change daily even! In addition to being able to speak with a voice that demands more attention, my confidence levels have also risen and there I can feel all the difference. So, thank you again!"

"Earlier this month Scotia Plaza's Personal Banking sales team attended your Voice Evaluation Workshops. The Workshops were well received by all who attended. There was a good variety in your training methods which seems to reinforce the message and promote the audience involvement. Combining discussions, self evaluation and personal examples was very effective. Kathryn, again thank you we really enjoyed the Workshop."
