Here's what the HotSeat package consists of:

Two fifteen minute sessions, where you will have the opportunity to outline your ideas for a presentation to the group and ask for feedback on openings, closings, humor, stories, crafting or any other element of a presentation where you need help.
Following your description of your material and your requests for input, you'll get fifteen minutes more of invaluable feedback. Peggy will offer suggestions and ideas as will Janet and the other members of the group.
All of this will be recorded on an mp3 that you'll receive the day after the call so you can review it over and over. AND...you'll get to do it TWICE!
Hearing others' critiques is an incredible way to not only learn but to move quickly towards your goal.
And...you'll learn MORE from hearing others work through their challenges than from your own!
A Private Group (The Coach's HotSeat) will be set up on Facebook where you can communicate between calls with other members of this special class. As each new session of participants joins, over time, you'll have a ready-made Mastermind Group!

As a result, you'll experience LIGHT YEARS of improvement in just TWO brief months. Your learning curve will be shortened, you'll grow as a speaker and gain the confidence you need to get out there and be successful.

“I am now on my way to a new venture
and can thank Peggy for this.”

I listened with a renewed enthusiasm to Peggy’s seminar and realized that although I thought I had traded in my superwoman cape years ago, I had assumed a new “color” to my cape.

Once I recognized this, I decided to do something for ME after many years of “doing” for others, and applied to a PhD program and—surprise, surprise— was actually accepted! I am now on my way to a new venture and can thank Peggy for this.

Now I really need to ask my family for help and everyone will just have to pull their own weight -- since we will all benefit from my new future career. Thanks Peggy!

“You were a hit!”

You were just delightful Thursday night. You were a perfect speaker for our awards night. As you can tell from the response of the group, you were a hit!

Janet’s clients talk about working with her….

“For more than two years Janet has been my mentor and coach. She helped steer me through career changes, life work revisions and at least one complete reinvention of myself. She has taught me to polish my relationship and coaching skills, set realistic priorities and weigh my options with patient, caring questions. She is a master of powerful questions that got me to examine how I’m really doing, not just how I say I’m doing. I am now on the other side of those upheavals, and I realize how much she has taught me.

With Janet as my coach and champion, I was able to build momentum in my career even when very challenged by living abroad. With Janet’s help, I have become a certified coach with a very satisfying practice of my own. In addition to being a perceptive, compassionate role model for me, Janet helped me develop my trust in my own talents and a workable plan for growing my business. I am sure that Janet’s coaching helped me reach my goal faster and with a lot more enjoyment of the process!
