It's the energy for me!

Ms. Courtney was exactly what our organization needed - a true, honest look at ourselves and how we may be giving off the wrong vibes. I loved her down to earth nature and her knowledge of her subject. She was relatable and real. AWESOME SAUCE!

Engaging

Courtney P was phenomenal! The training was educational and very informative. I learned how to improve my communication skills. She was so engaging from start to finish. Her style, her methods and techniques, her visual aides and games, and her overall personality completely matched our audience. I simply can’t say enough about how great she was and how much I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. I can’t wait to see her again!

Meeting people where they are!!!

After this workshop, I realized that I can;t expect everyone to move like me or think like me. We have to understand that we are not the same. Our communication is different. We can respectfully meet people where they are and function together as a team

Awesome time!

What to expect

I offer a high energy message. I like my audiences engaged and in tuned. I feel laughter is good for the soul and have a quick wit, always appropriate, that makes my time with people seem to fly by. I've been a Corporate Trainer so I can use any medium available for the right technological touch. I have a "come from behind the podium" approach. I want my audience to know I am fully invested in delivering my message and making sure they receive it.

Additional booking notes

Standard and/or provided lights and sound are sufficient. I have done a bit of theater, so even if there is a technical failure, I can project as the "show must go on."
