The content was overflowing and not rushed despite the time constraints since she had a few hours, I am confident that me and my colleagues walked away with so much goodies to take away and use. I felt well equipped by the end of the workshop to confidently drive for the skills needed by the candidates to communicate effectively in different situations be it when doing presentations or when preparing for their interviews. The workshop emphasized how I as the facilitator and manager in the room need to always be a good role model in this regard and she generously shared her secrets of how when we are drained can get away from it all and relaxing techniques that would revitalize an individual.
Thank you as well for making it happen, much appreciated.
I’ve worked with Caryn on multiple client engagements in my role as project manager at EY. She has facilitated a range of workshops with very varied groups from blue collar mine workers to senior executives.
Every workshop I’ve witnessed has had incredible impact and the clients have been delighted. The change in the participants engagement levels from the start of the workshop to the end are truly amazing!

Yours sincerely,
Thank you once again for your help, it really has made such a huge difference, not only for the presentation but to my life in general. Helping me to feel more confident and competent!
Kind regards
Where do we start – The first session was amazing and I was so looking forward to round two, I had a conference on the same day,
I left early in order to make it for Caryn’s session, walked in and was, once again, immediately swept away by her energy, although I was late I was made to feel welcome and as if I wasn’t disrupting the session.What energy, what style so diverse, who would think that someone could take a workshop on a subject like this which is generally pretty stayed and boring and just make it so invigorating.
All I can say is this is the best workshop I have ever done, and one second thoughts probably not only at Ort but anywhere.
Looking forward to the next workshop but I bet this will have a long hard stretch to fill Caryn’s shoes.
This was one of those workshops where, even days after you cant stop thinking about the skills you’ve learned and the things you realised about yourself.
The G-Plus Speaking and Presentation Skills Class was absolutely fantastic! It was a very clear and practical course which brought to light the “how to” of many presentation and general public speaking concepts. It also highlighted common and regularly committed speaking offenses.
This was great because we know the nerves come in, which typically send us on a downward spiralling roller-coaster of babbling (among other things), but we never take the time to (or previously even knew how to) reflect on how this projects to an audience and what we can do to ground ourselves and thus our projections – both oral and physical.
I would definitely recommend this course to other students, actually I think it highly imperative that ALL students take this course to help us say what we need to say about the work that we do better. I feel that even the best speaker would be able to walk away with a useful tip or two… or five.
Thank you so much. The chairman gave me a high five. Couldn’t have done it without you and won’t be able to do it without you EVER.
I found the Alexander Technique and my one-on-one classes with Caryn transformational, learning about letting go and experiencing a free state of being; remembering that my true nature never has to hold onto anything because it is already everything.
Caryn! My life has forever changed from meeting you and the experience and journey we have walked together on this course. Yes it’s been uncomfortable at times, yes I’ve laughed, I’ve been empowered and I’ve received techniques, practices, awareness and skills to “bring it!” in all I do – in a safe and lovely space with wisdom and grace that you provided. Let’s Go! Thank you!
Prior to this year, I would never have done something as daunting as speak in front of thousands of people. I was always the quiet girl at the back of the class – the reticent one. With your guidance my presentation skills and confidence have vastly improved to the point of being able to hold my own with a Senior Vice president! Thanks so much for your help on this career defining “project”. It would not have gone as well as it did without your practical techniques to help me settle into my body and my voice. Your sessions have truly been invaluable. Thank you Caryn!
Hi Caryn,
Thank you — I really enjoyed it. It was slow, but in such a beautiful way. I loved the loving touch and those gentle invitations throughout.
When I did my feedback note, there was a third thing that stood out for me — it slipped my mind at the time — but the other piece that really landed was what you said about withholding consent. That idea felt so powerful: to pause before answering a call, to gently hold a boundary in place. Such a clear, embodied way to honour yourself.
Oh, and Anna-Mart mentioned how energised she felt afterwards — I have to say, by the time I got home, I felt it too. But it wasn’t a high-energy I want to do things energy… hard to explain, but maybe more of an open spaciousness, an alertness, anyhoo, it was lovely…actually, maybe it is better to say I felt so well rested…yes, that is it. Well rested
Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again soon.
Warmly,
Carol-Lee
