I came to him in hysteria and left our session with a sense of vigor. A conversation that started out in tears - ended in belly laughs! True story. Within 60 minutes, he reminded me of my worth and melted away my lingering anxiety; anxiety hiring managers can smell from a mile away. To say he has a remarkable gift would be an understatement and the confidence he reinstated in me is priceless!

I was really happy with how much help Jezra offered in preparation for my keynote speech. I had…read morealready had it mostly written and the slides prepared, and she helped me really shape and polish the final speech and slides. She also really helped with all the things I didn't know that I needed to prepare and ask about the venue or event, including visualization of room, setup, table set up, type of mic. Preparing with her made me feel a great sense of ease on the day of the speech. She was calm, professional, and encouraging. I'd done other types of specialized presentation and smaller events w/ public speaking, but she was able to help take this presentation to another level and left it polished and jargon-free for the audience and got great feedback from the audience afterwards. I met with Jezra in person twice and found it to be very efficient and effective for. I would definitely go to back to Jezra for other speech or presentation prep.

I can't thank her enough for helping me find my voice!

Where do I even begin with the incredible Jonathan Stancato? He has been an absolute treasure of a…read morecoach, mentor, and overall fantastic human to have in my life--a godsend. A talented, intuitive, intelligent, encouraging, and impactful coach that has guided me to so much growth. His impact is vast and noticeable in both my personal, singing, and corporate/professional life. Jonathan takes the time to get to know his students/clients and is then able to truly show up for them--he's always present. His work is highly tailored and you can guarantee when you leave a session with him, you'll feel lighter, happier, stronger, and empowered. He taught me things about my voice, and how it translates to other (seemingly) non-vocally related aspects of my life; I'm talking eye opening, jaw-dropping type stuff. Over a year of working together on a bi-weekly cadence, the learnings are endless, awe-inspiring, and quite frankly, worth every penny and more. 5/5 stars doesn't feel like an adequate rating when you're talking about life changing work but, I suppose it'll have to do. In short, if you're considering hiring Jonathan, DO IT ASAP.

I worked with Melanie to improve my accent. It wasn't your average English language program…read more Melanie took the time to analyze MY slips of the accent which minimized the time for improvement. Melanie took into consideration my language background and the sounds I am used to hearing and making. She was able to be technical with me when we needed to get technical, and she was focusing on results as opposed to the classification of sounds and short and long vowels. As for results, I am noticing a significant positive change in my oral communication skills. I am now able to pick up the subtle changes in vowels and consonants. Perhaps, this is very personal, but it meant a lot to me. I always had a hard time in clubs and bars where people would ask me about my accent right away. As soon as I said a few words. I felt that people were immediately making assumptions about me being foreign or unsophisticated. After working with Melanie, a miracle happened. Nobody asked me about where I was from, at all!!! Two guys even thought I grew up in Pennsylvania. It was the biggest compliment for me and Melanie. Again, if you are doing business in New York or somewhere in the states and have a hard time with your business communication, I highly recommend that you work with Mel. It's an investment and not an expense.
