Katie’s Reflection working with us
“Strength on Stages is so much more than storytelling or public speaking training. It's not only helping me grow into things that I want to be able to do–apply for speaking gigs, hold myself on a stage confidently–but it also is having the chance to work with someone who is inspiring me to be a better leader. He makes me think about how I show up for my clients and how I can do better. It is transformative.”

Kissonda’s Reflection working with us
“I want you to tell your story because there's a truth behind who you are. And sometimes we don't live in that truth or you think you're living in it. And once you really get to tell your story and put it out into the atmosphere, you begin to understand why you're here and what your purpose is.”

And I wanted to be able to have something [brought out] in me something that was very succinct, very clear, and completely authentic. And that's what Strength on Stages was able to do for me.”
