“Almost a year ago today, I was faced with what I thought was one of the biggest challenges of my life, PUBLIC SPEAKING. It may sound dramatic, but it was true! I had been asked to speak at both a wedding and a work conference. After some research I had come across Spoken Advantage, and met Sarah. I can honestly say, without doubt, that this was one of the best decisions I have made. She taught me key strategies with writing speeches and preparing presentations. She provided me with examples and tools to use while speaking. Finally, my confidence grew each time I met with Sarah because I was able to notice the progress I was making. The wedding had since passed, and even 10 months later guests have approached me to compliment my speech! As for work, I have been asked to present at more conferences. It was a nice transition from the quiet, faltered presentations I had once given. Spoken Advantage has provided me with success in both my personal and professional life and I would recommend Sarah to anyone who speaks publicly, even if you are good… I guarantee she can make you better!”

Sincerely, 
Erin Bourguignon

“I am a Certified World Class Speaking Coach and I chose Sarah as my speaking coach. That should say it all! But…if it doesn’t here’s why I work with Sarah: She has an amazing ability to hone in on exactly where in my speech and my delivery I need to make changes to get my message across in the most powerful way. She recently coached me for a Tedx talk and her input was invaluable and took my talk to the next level. The other thing I love about Sarah is that she always pushes me to be better and does it n a loving and supportive way. If you want to massively improve your speaking skills hire Sarah.”

“Working with Sarah was quite an experience. I have always considered my self a natural speaker, mostly because I am fairly confident and not afraid to speak in public. Well I quickly learned that just because I’m a confident speaker that doesn’t necessarily mean I am an effective or good speaker.

Sarah guided me through a structured process that at times was was almost painful to my free flowing ways, but was most definitely worth the effort. She taught me how a speech should be structured, how to craft a compelling opening and closing and all the stuff in between. When I gave the speech that Sarah had coached me on, not only did I notice the difference but so did my audience and the organizers of the event. Thank you Sarah!”

“I hired Sarah Hilton to assist me in making my keynote speeches and corporate training workshops. Sarah is a perfectionist and extremely professional. Although I had done speaking as part of my former career, I was totally unfamiliar with the proper structure and staging of a presentation. These are things that Sarah helped me to work on and to gain confidence in. I recommend that any one who is interested in taking their speaking career to the next level hire Sarah. It would be an excellent investment in your career.”

“When I booked an appointment with Sarah, I was fairly certain that I would come out from the session as I had with so many other coaches, nothing new, nothing that I did not already know. To my absolute and utter delight, Sarah provided a whole new prospective and approach to my business. Sarah has a unique talent that not only helps you improve your presentation skills, but also boosts your confidence and helps set you apart from the crowd. When I left her – I was feeling motivated and raring to go with my new found tools. She keeps you focused on a message that captures attention from your audience. Sarah, is the consumate professional.”

“In my recent career change from finance to staffing, I found Sarah to be very helpful in getting my 60 second pitch to potential clients. When changing careers it has been one of my biggest challenges when approaching prospects clients. Another co-worker had approached myself on joining a networking group that I attended as a guest and in turn had meet Sarah Hilton. Upon booking an appointment, with her for 1 hour and we worked on the different experiences I had already encountered and we branched off to create my 60 second pitch. I felt much more confident when speaking to clients, later that day I tried my pitch to a prospect client and got a appointment to meet. The key is organizing my thoughts to get the attention. Thanks to Sarah I had booked 6 appointments in 2 days. I have invited Sarah to the office to meet the rest of staff so they can utilize her gift in public speaking. Thank you again Sarah and look forward in doing more business with you!!”

“I worked with Sarah Hilton to craft my 60 second introduction. Sarah was masterful at drawing out the essence of what I do and how it impacts my clients. With this clarity, we were able to create a succinct and effective introduction that I can deliver with confidence. The key points that we formulated will also be useful in my other marketing material. Sarah also coached me in honing the delivery of my intro. Sarah’s expertise made the whole process quick, informative, effective and easy.”

“As a professional speaker I am always looking to hone my craft to better serve my audiences. In one session Sarah Hilton and I worked together to create some transformational ah-ha moments that have already positively impacted the structure of my keynote speeches.

Over the last five years I have worked with several speaker coaches/consultants. What was different about Sarah compared to the others, is that she actually watched my speaker videos, recognized where I was at and customized our conversation to my specific needs. Unlike others, she didn’t just teach me cookie cutter speaking techniques that didn’t apply to my speaking style and professional clientele.

Sarah provided some formulas that were easy for me to implement and will stick with me as I take my already successful speaking career to the next level of achievement. If you deliver speeches, I would highly recommend booking time with Sarah. Even if you’re already a great speaker, it’s a worthwhile investment because we can all continue to learn.”

“Thank you Sarah for your presentation on Mental Health in the Workplace. Your presentation style immediately engaged our leadership group encouraging trust for an open and fullsome dialogue. The depth of knowledge and practical tools you provided will be put to immediate use. We have so often heard the word “stress” but now have an approach that will help us solution the issues while providing appropriate support for our employees. Your conversation with us today took us far beyond a mental health 101 overview and prepared us to respond meaningfully in a way that will benefit our employees and business.”

“I attended your 60 Seconds and Beyond class in August and it was excellent. I was amazed at the improvement everyone made to their 60 second introductions within the 2 hour class. What was even more amazing to me was the boost in everyone’s confidence level as they began to clearly and effectively sell their business in just 60 seconds or less. Without confidence and conviction in our voice, our 60 seconds are wasted. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and for helping me to comfortably and effectively present my new business venture to others.”

“I was glad for the drive home after meeting with you to consider changes to my presentation and reflect on our visit. I felt that you gave me permission to present in a way that I have considered in the past, but did not have the courage to pursue. I removed over half of the text slides and added a few more photos. This allowed me to create the balance I thought would work…”

“WOW, you are an exceptional speaker! One of the best presentations I have ever seen. Thank you. We need more people like you to reach out and educate and let people know they are not alone.”

“I love your presentation. I once fell into depression and what I got from people around me, from the world was exactly described by you. It was life, though the world as I perceive does not understand me. I cannot say my feelings, you have said it for me. Thanks”
