Here's What Others Say:
"In the six months that I was tutored by Victoria Chorbajian, I improved not only my confidence and delivery of material in public speaking forums, but was also preparing material in advance in a more constructive, useful way. Prior to Victoria Chorbajian's coaching, I read verbatim from pre-prepared text. I've now moved to a more relaxed and comfortable style speaking from notes or bullet points. " Simon Sproule, VP,  "I wanted to let you know that I've been extremely pleased with the training services you have provided our company. It was evident that the workshops were customized specifically to meet the needs of our company as well as the employees participating in the workshop based on our phone calls and in-person meeting. The homework assignments that were given allowed the participants to apply the skills learned. I can tell you that all of the tips and the techniques you covered are being used by the employees as we speak. Thank you." Michele Suffy, VP, Fragrance Division "Just wanted to let you know how much your presentation skill training has benefited the engineers (both U.S. and foreign based) at ITT Industries for our annual symposium for the past few years. Based on the delivery of all the engineers' presentations as well as the feedback from other executives in the company globally, your presentation skill training was highly successful and I should add cost effective based on all the success and the value you brought "to the table". Other international companies would greatly benefit from your service especially due to the fact that most of the training was done solely through video conferencing and teleconferencing means whereby individuals do not have to be present in order to be coached properly for a presentation as we saw. It was obvious that over a short period of time of training, there were so many benefits. The investment in your services fully paid off because it helped the presenters give a much better presentation and it's a learning experience that will stay with all of them for a long time. The engineers welcomed the training and they even felt that it was a great gift from our company to them. So, thank you again." Bjorn von Euler, Director of Corporate Communications "Victoria's approach to helping others improve their presentation skills is fresh, engaging, and unlike the 'off-the-shelf' programs we have used in the past. She truly cares about participant learning and gets at the root of their needs." Mark Roy, Training & Development Manager "I am taking this opportunity to express my great appreciation for the exceptional coaching you provided me, which has truly made a world of difference in my public speaking skills and abilities. Your course elevated my self-confidence, my understanding of how to approach public speaking engagements, and in short, was one of the best investments in time and money I have ever made. I also very much appreciated the personal interest you took, both before and after, in making certain I was prepared, and subsequently, to ensure that my engagements and presentations went well. You certainly went beyond and above the "call of duty" and I am most grateful to you." Michael Rosenberg, President & CEO "I am delighted to recommend Victoria Chorbajian to all who wish to sharpen their presentation skills. Having observed Victoria give a presentation before an audience of communication experts at the Ragan Speechwriting Conference in Washington, I can report first-hand on two of her most important attributes. First, she knows her subject in depth. Speaking as member of a panel of nationally known speech experts, her comments on presidential speaking were insightful and illuminating. Her analysis did not depend on buzzwords and flashy style, but rather on understanding the principles of content and delivery that contribute to the success of speeches by U.S. Presidents or any other executives. Second, she brings a natural, dynamic energy to her work. Unfortunately, many speakers today, in an effort to avoid any hint of artificiality, tone their presentations down to an unbearable level of dullness. Victoria understands that vital ideas require vital delivery, and her audience responds to her enthusiasm with empathic attention. She serves as a model for what she teaches. In describing herself as a coach, Victoria Chorbajian sets precisely the right tone for her work as a speech consultant. She is the expert on the sidelines who evaluates the player on the field and provides instruction that brings out the best of that player's skill. As they prepare for major presentations, speakers all too often lack the bolstering, authoritative input that Victoria can provide. I am certain that her coaching will make speakers more confident and more effective." Jerry Tarver "I would like to thank you for helping me to become a more effective speaker and presenter. Your personal coaching sessions provided me with all the tools to increase my confidence and attitude. Nervousness is now turned into excitement. It has been a true pleasure to work with you. I appreciate that you have done so much to meet all of my accommodations." Vincent Mancini, CEO "Your suggestions on the content, asking questions, limiting bullets, making things crisp and powerful significantly improved our presentation. Emphasizing certain words and speaking slowly were good input. Your notes you sent to us after meetings were a good help as well and appreciated. The CD was good as well which I reviewed. Overall, there is no doubt your participation certainly enhanced our presentation and I learned things for future reference as well. Thank you very much!" Mr. Lance Eruysal, Director, Global Supply Chain, Industrial Products Group "The training sessions on presentation skills I had with Victoria Chorbajian were by far the best, most effective and professional coaching I've ever received on this topic, and the results were immediate! I appreciated your willingness to customize the coaching sessions to meet my needs, and I found your tips on preparation particularly invaluable." Jon Lederman, Sr. Manager, Marketing Communications "Not a day passes that I have not benefited from the public speaking techniques that you taught me. I am speaking more comfortably and confidently and my presentations have much more effect on each audience I address. The many tips and techniques that you imparted during our coaching sessions have brought an awareness of what makes one's speech more effective and how I can apply and adapt these techniques to my own speaking style. Thanks again for your help. Wendy Gallart, Sr. Marketing Manager "Thank you for the coaching you provided me in preparation for my speech in Maui at the Volvo Retailer Conference. My objective was to review Volvo's new certified pre-owned strategy and to gain retailer buy in and support of the strategy. My presentation was a huge success. The whole experience was quite powerful and gave me a great boost of confidence in discovering my unknown presentation abilities. Your coaching and insistence that I master speaking techniques like pausing, inflection and developing the right pace were key for my presentation to be such a success. The techniques that I learned can be easily applied to any presentation for any audience. Your coaching has definitely had a positive impact on my presentation skills and I definitely maximized the return on my investment. Thanks again for such a positive experience!" Jeff Pugliese, Regional VP "Thank you for your training on presentation skills. I felt the structure of the initial consultation was an excellent way to identify areas for improvement and the exercises in the subsequent coaching sessions were specifically designed to address those areas. Some of the exercises that provided the most benefit involved focusing my attention on matching the pitch of my voice to the intention of the sentence (statement or question) and using intonation and pacing to highlight key points and for dramatic effect. You have a great coaching style that is flexible and tailored to each session. As a result, I found it easy to understand the exercises and retain the information. I also appreciate the fact that your goal is to improve the overall speaking style of your clients and not just go for a 'quick fix'." Wendy Waugh, Sr. Manager, Network Solutions |
