Bio

Kate Sweeney, Is incredible at teaching Advanced Public Speaking and Communication Skills. Somehow she taught and mentored me into getting an A in her class. I am the student that prior to her class would have frozen or had endless mental blanks during a presentation. By nature, I am the person that would rather stand behind the camera than in front of it. She has continued to mentor me Academically, and Professionally even after graduation last year. Thanks to her I have walked into every interview since meeting her with confidence and the communication and presentation skills to be successful.

Kate has hosted multiple training sessions with my company on public speaking development. Kate led the team in how to present yourself (both verbally & non-verbally) and how to build your brand. She is immediately engaging as a trainer, her energy sets a great example for the room, and her interactive exercises really drive home each point. On a personal level, Kate's lessons have been a fundamental part of my growth. And among my colleagues, her guidance has enabled them to present clearly, confidently, and with poise. Kate's ability to make a long-term impact on her clients in such a short period of time is awe-inspiring! Thanks, Kate!
