Inquiry About Working Together

“Thank you again for your coaching… It went a long way in helping me better connect with the audience. ”

“Working with Janice made me realize how much difference good public speaking makes! Before giving a plenary talk at a major academic conference in my field, I was quite nervous. I don't really have much experience in public speaking. Deciding to reach out to Janice was a bingo! In the short time that we worked together, Janice shared her views on my talk and provided excellent tips that changed my perspective on presenting. Moreover, talking to Janice gave me lots of assurance and probably the biggest takeaway for me was learning how to make my talk more personal through storytelling, with as many examples as possible. All this through these first few meetings! During the plenary, I felt much less nervous during my talk than I would feel normally. In fact, I felt completely relaxed (to my surprise). As a result, I received excellent feedback from hundreds of colleagues. If you're looking to be a better communicator and to connect with people, Janice is the one to reach out to! For me personally, public speaking will never be the same again. Thanks so much, Janice!”

“I reached out to Janice as I was struggling with some upcoming presentations I was doing for senior executives. While I had been doing presentations for years, I wanted to make these presentations stand out and had less than three weeks to prepare. Janice was a pleasure to work with. She was readily available with her time, flexible and adapted her approach to my needs. She provided me with assignments after each meeting so that I could bring my presentation - both the content and presentation of it - to the next level. Her approach balanced being supportive and encouraging all while pushing me to get to the next level. Given I was working with a short timeline, it was a lot of work and big time commitment on my part. The results were worth the effort. I was impressed with how great an impact Janice was able to have within a short time. I was blown away with the feedback I received from the executives following my presentations. I will continue to work with Janice in the future.”

“I never felt like I had public speaking in me. When I met Janice, I was afraid of revealing that side to someone else, but she put me at ease right away. Her sessions are part therapy, part coaching. Now I look back at my old videos and see a noticeable difference in my confidence. Janice made me aware of subconscious speaking habits that were impacting my first impression on clients, like diminishing my own achievements or punctuating my sentences with apologies. Today, I go into calls feeling confident, assertive, and ready to show up as an expert. If you're looking to get your ego stroked, Janice probably isn't a good fit for you. But if you're willing to dig deep into what's working and what's not working in your speaking style, the results you can achieve are incredible. I've used her frameworks to close three deals that added up to over $30,000 in projects.”

“Working with Janice was such a pleasure! I had a very short amount of time to prepare for a keynote speech (a little over a week). I approached Janice for help with getting organised. I had a sense of what I wanted to present but Janice truly assisted me in getting my thoughts organised and asked all the right questions around the kind of message I wanted to deliver to my audience. She was so easy to work with, flexible with meeting times and collaborative. I am so grateful I found Janice as my keynote would not have been as impactful if I had not worked with her. I would 100% work with Janice again on future presentations and speeches. Thank you, thank you!”

“Janice Tomich coached me twice in preparation for a keynote speech. I hired her to help me fine-tune my opening and closing remarks, I was so happy with the first session I hired her to help me with my introductory bio and transitions in my talk. The sessions were short and conveniently over the phone. She was very effective and focused and exceeded my expectations. ”

“Janice worked with one of our speakers for the 2012 TEDMED conference held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. The speaker reported that he enjoyed the experience and that he appreciated Janice’s input very much. From my perspective, the speaker’s presentation clearly benefited from Janice’s expertise and assistance. The speaker’s somewhat shy, diffident delivery became more conversational and lively. His tendency to sink into a low monotone at times was replaced by a better modulated, more mellifluous tone of voice. His use of effective gestures and comfort in moving on the stage also increased...”

“One of the big achievements I had working with Janice is now I feel present. I can breathe and think clearly when communicating, even when speaking off the cuff. When I need to speak, even on short notice, I can put my thoughts together in a logical flow without having to write it out.”

“For anybody who has read an article or correspondence from a senior colleague or business leader and said to themselves, “I wish I could communicate like that, but it’s just not in my DNA”, my response would be, "Yes it is. Go see Janice".”

“Working with Janice was truly delightful and better than I could have imagined! I was faced with a big challenge ahead with very little time on my side, so having her expertise and support was incredibly valuable. She provided a high level of concierge service at an investment that was worth every penny. Not only that, but her attention to details was much appreciated. I didn't know what to expect going into our few weeks together, but what I received on the other side was more than my initial expectations. You can't ask for more than that. I highly recommend working with Janice! She is a lifesaver!”
