Your Voice, Your Vision

• “I have been delivering presentations for years but rather than looking forward to the experience, I would be anxious for days or weeks before. I no longer am with the support of Janice. In a few sessions, she changed my perception towards presenting. In addition to her communication expertise, she can get right to the root of your presentation challenges. We also worked on messaging, breath work and relaxation techniques. She is the most encouraging and thoughtful communication coach. Thank you Janice! ”

• “Janice...has brought us to a new level in terms of confidence, connections and sense of possibility. We credit her insight and vision in helping us bring our message to the bigger stage, as well as bringing media interest and exposure. We wish her every success and look forward to working with her again.”

• “I reached out to Janice Tomich when preparing for a presentation to senior management. I did not have any previous presentation experience and needed help. Janice’s coaching style was great and provided me with the tools I needed to improve my presentation. The positive feedback I received on the day of the presentation, from both my colleagues and VP, was a reflection of the skills Janice helped me develop. Thanks Janice!”

• “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 is one of the most valuable people I have ever met. She is not only a customer-service oriented and honest team player but also an inspiring strategist. Smart co-worker. Experienced developer. Her experience and expertise and dedication makes her view solutions instead of problems. I can highly recommend working with Janice.”

• “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!”

• “Janice has a knack for bringing out the best in speakers. She provides insightful and gentle critique, and helps her subjects make the most of their presentations. She's in your corner, giving you the guidance and direction you need without trying to shape or mould your flow. It was delightful moving through the process of creating my first TedX talk, for @TEDX KidsBC”

  Speaker and Trainer
• “I worked with Janice over eight sessions in 2016 with a view to improving the effectiveness of my public speaking and reducing anxiety around presentations. While I had a long history of making public presentations, I felt there was considerable room for improvement, particularly in the area of speaking without a script or text. Janice used a unique approach to tackle my personal issues around public performance, and her system has enabled me to reduce my presentation time, speak with greater confidence and, most importantly, conduct presentations without notes. It was a very interesting and valuable journey.”

• “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!”

• “In searching for an executive communication coach and public speaking coach, I came across Janice who fit the bill perfectly as she offered both coaching services. We worked on refining my communication skills by drafting, reviewing and re-writing emails as well as role-playing. She really helped shift my approach and mentality when it comes to having difficult conversations with team members as well as offering ideas and feedback to senior leaders. As for public speaking, I was preparing for four presentations and although already comfortable with speaking in front of an audience, I was looking to hone my skills. We worked through all of the presentations together and I felt confident and prepared as I delivered them. My sessions with Janice were productive, educational and enjoyable and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her in the future.”
