“This is my experience with Jean, developing my first presentation and delivery in English. The first step in this story was when a work colleague proposed that I give a speech to the International Hydrogeology Association on the Costa del Sol in Spain, which was related to a specific professional congress. As it was my very first presentation all in English – and in front of my peers – I felt anxious and nervous. At that point I asked Jean for her help. We had two weeks to prepare the presentation and she taught me how to simplify each visual and explain them creatively. From my position as a native Spanish speaker, it was a big deal to tell a story in English, but Jean’s patience and professionalism made it possible. The results were a success and much better than I expected. I carried out my delivery with confidence and the audience congratulated me at the end. I am looking forward to giving my next speech!” Ana Ortuño Morales: Hydrogeologist – Málaga, Spain
“I attended Jean’s Presentations Skills Workshop and found it very beneficial. I learned an awful lot and now feel confident that I can sit down and prepare my next Presentation. Jean is a lovely warm caring person and her workshop was very relaxed but professional. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has to stand up and give a speech. Thank you, Jean, for my new-found confidence.”

“Jean is a great teacher and shares her abundant knowledge generously and with grace. I have been speaking in public for many years, but Jean has helped me improve my presentations as well as giving structure to what I need to say. An extremely valuable experience!”
