I had a just few sessions with Lori to improve my interviewing, and she was tremendous help. Her guidance was specific, insightful, and very effective. The responses to my interviews improved immensely. I was in my next position within a matter of weeks.

I worked with Lori to prepare for a presentation to our Sales Organization and I am so glad that I enlisted her services. I was able to deliver by far the best presentation in my career by focusing my energy on drawing in my audience, keeping the message simple and by focusing the story on what’s in it for the audience rather than just concentrating on just my team’s accomplishments and the data. The message was very well received and the highest praise was that several people inquired about how they can leverage the work my team has done to drive wins for their businesses. I highly recommend Lori to help you become the best presenter you can be. Her personalized approach targeted at the specific needs of each individual was invaluable for my success.

Lori recently worked with me on two keynote speeches in the last 6 weeks and the direction that I received resulted in a fantastic product and I now can use those techniques from our sessions the rest of my career.

Lori worked with me to prepare for an in person interview for my Fulbright application. Lori was a fantastic teacher and speaking coach. She remained patient and thoughtful throughout the entire session. Lori helped prepare me by posing practice questions and working with me to organize my thoughts in an engaging sequence. She tailored her teaching curriculum to my specific circumstance, and successfully enabled me to feel confident during my interview. As a result of Lori’s help and expertise, I am headed to Cambodia on a Fulbright scholarship to teach English. I would highly recommend working with Lori for anyone looking to improve their interview skills.

I support Lori Klinka’s coaching and would recommend her to others who are seeking an outside perspective. I appreciate Lori’s way of organizing important points to present yourself affirmatively and enable others to connect to your message. Lori uses her communication expertise to model the way that people can convey a compelling story about themselves.
