Bio
Sarah Nelson, PhD
Mariette is so warm and welcoming in her group coaching, any nerves I had about presenting to the group were forgotten. She has very useful tips for speaking clearly and passionately. The online Zoom sessions are actually very useful since people spend a lot of time talking to others on Zoom these days.

I used to consider public speaking as something to try to avoid but I now actually start to enjoy it thanks to the sessions I had with Mariette during the last 6 months. Mariette helped me to transform the way I engage with my audience and the most important, how to feel more confident and relaxed so I can get a better outcome, catch the audience's attention more from the start, structure in a more appropriate way the message I want to share and not to change my style but to focus it in the right direction. I cannot recommend Mariette highly enough to those people who are looking for ways to improve their presentation skills or simply start enjoying the public speaking!

Mariette is a brilliant performance coach. She has coached me on public speaking/presentation since last year. With her help, I have increased significantly my confidence in presentation. She is such a lovely person and wonderful coach, very professional. In addition, Mariette has helped me on the pronunciations and the techniques to capture audience’s attention. Recently she has taught me some very useful things used for the online meeting. I would highly recommend Mariette to everyone who wants to improve their presentation or public speaking skills.
