CLIENTS AND TESTIMONIALS
Here's what professionals say about Pure Voice Power Seminars
“
A big thank you again for doing such an excellent job for
us last Friday. Not only did you deliver a lot of great training
information, but you brought the group’s energy level
back up at a critical time in the afternoon and helped end
the day for us on a high note. You did an excellent job.
As well, your handout is amazing! I can’t believe how
chock-a-block it is with useful and interesting information.
It is awesome to me how much work you did in getting everything
ready and presented. I really appreciate it. The group really
wants to have you back to help us further improve our presentation
voices, possibly toward the end of the year. Thanks again
for helping make our 2nd Annual Planner’s Retreat a
big success.”...Brian Bridgeman, Manager of the Planning and Development

Hello ToastIT Members!
What a special meeting we had
on Tuesday. Kathy Thompson was a 'clarion' of information
about our voices
and how we can keep them healthy, and improve our
vocal communication through exercises and practice. I
really
appreciated this
presentation!! Thanks again, Kathy, for educating
us about
our voices.
…………
Regards, James Pankratz, V.P. of Education, Toast-I.T. Toastmasters
ClubHello, Kathy,
On behalf of the members of Drew Toastmasters Club,
thank you very much, again, for "How Your Voice Works" presentation yesterday, Nov. 28th 2002.
Those members who were unable to attend were very put out because they would
have found this session very enlightening. I know I did. We have had several "in-house" workshops
on the voice - but your presentation presented a more in-depth look at how the
voice works and how we should take care of it. I am more aware now of clearing
my throat and I'm working on eliminating that bad habit, as well as working on
deepening my voice. From the rapt attention of club members, I'm sure your words
did not fall on deaf ears. You were truly amazing!

TRAINING
“ Dear Kathy,
I just did my exercises this morning. It’s so great to have a coach like
you. You are so energetic and patient with my progress. Thanks so much for your
time and effort. I began to experience what self-control is and how it can help
me do other activities, such as golfing. Of course, I realize my voice and verbal
English can be improved. I’m sure that reducing my accent have a positive
impact on my career. I really like the ways that you approach my challenge. Your
creativity, experience and knowledge make a big difference. Furthermore, your
enthusiasm, patience and effort have motivated me to keep practicing. I really
appreciate everything and enjoy working with you, Kathy. Thanks so much.” ...Mr.
D. Lau, Toronto
“ Dear Kathy,
I just wanted to thank you for your help. I applied the suggestions you have
given me and I am amazed to see the results. I am making sure that I have that
smile in my voice. In fact, just a few minutes ago my manager came and gave
me a very big hug. He said to me that is so happy to hear me talk like this
and
hears the big difference in my voice. My boss is visually impaired and not
able to see anything. But he has great gifts of other senses.” ...Ms. H. Haider,
Toronto
