"I have been a keynote speaker for over ten years. I figured I had this speaking thing more or less down; why would I need a coach? But in just a few sessions with Jezra I discovered that there truly is an art to being your best speaking self, and Jezra is a master at unlocking that. She is patient and supportive, and full of great frameworks and exercises, such that while we workshopped just one speech I learned concepts that I can take with me across multiple venues. Thank you Jezra!"

I had the pleasure to meet you at a public speaking seminar you gave for the Hofstra University School of Engineering. The lessons given have been very useful and your book is a great reference and always relevant.

Jezra was fantastic. From the very first session, she understood what was blocking my speaking success, offered some fabulous advice, and helped me view public speaking in a very different way. The presentation was a success, my nerves were minimal, and thanks to Jezra, I am almost looking forward to the next one that I have been invited back to give.
