Karen McGregor. Professional Speaker
Presentation Power; It helped me establish a level of confidence I have never experienced before. It was a sudden, dramatic shift in the energy and projection of my voice, my eye contact, and my posture. This change has been a lasting one! It is truly the best investment you will ever make.
Clint Mahlman. President – London Drugs Limited Canada
Geoffrey was able to put forth his message in ways that made our people completely at ease, while at the same time leaving the participants with a greater sense of team. ‘Inspiring’ ‘Incredible depth of knowledge’ ‘made me feel completely at ease while learning’ … are just some of the comments London Drugs Limited have heard.”
Katherine Bright. Assistant Dean & Executive Director – University of British Columbia
“Geoffrey worked with University of British Columbia in Executive Education at the Sauder School of Business. He was an instructor in 2 different programs: Presentation Power™ and Sales Talk. Geoffrey’s seminars were consistently highly rated and thoroughly enjoyed. Geoffrey’s programs were consistently sold out.”
Jonni Johnston. CPSM – CEO & Chief Inspirer, Rockit Strategy
The wonderful thing about Geoffrey is he doesn’t just impact your professional life he affects all facets.
He is your best professor, your greatest mentor, 3 people you’d invite to your dinner party, Yoda, Charlie Chaplin and the Dali Lama – all wrapped in one!
Michael Oliver. President & Founder – Natural Selling
As it turned out ” Showing Up” has been the most wonderful gift to discover. My feedback forms also confirm this. The word authenticity comes up repeatedly. As you pointed out, strategies and techniques have little meaning without the real person in front of the message! Thanks for helping me get in touch with myself and for passing on the gift on!
