Coaching Testimonials

“Happy sunny Sunday everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend! I hope over the next few months I will have the opportunity to meet each of you in person in at least one of the live Friday sessions. There is so much talent in this group and I hope we can combine our synergies, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you think there is an opportunity.

I would also like to share with the team how a simple encounter with the wonderful Sarah Hilton over a noon-time coffee not only strengthened a friendship but also provided clarity and purpose to me. I was going through a rough time post-election and Sarah put on her listening ears and just made me feel heard and validated. She also encouraged me to develop a keynote about my experience. My response was that I would do this once healed…so over the Christmas holidays, I wrote, and wrote and wrote just to spill my thoughts onto paper and the result was a combination of ideas that Sarah read and helped me organize into several topics for possible keynotes.

Since, I have had the opportunity to test a couple of these keynotes and while they still need polishing, I wouldn’t have been able to get that clarity of purpose without her insight, so kudos Ms. Hilton and blessings for your ability to listen and care.

I’m certain each one of us values your input and detail to our personal success.”

“To be honest, I didn’t know how little I knew about public speaking until I started working with Sarah. Her ability to take a simple story, lesson or idea and transform it into an engaging speaking point is absolutely amazing. Having Sarah at your conference will guarantee that your audience will leave feeling more confident in their ability to convey their message to their target audience.”

“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 consummate professional.”

“When I first made the leap from Corporate Leadership to becoming an entrepreneur, I was told that speaking would be a necessary platform to grow my business. I had spoken lots as a leader in the corporate space and came to realize quickly that it was a whole different world to be a facilitator or keynote speaker. At one of my first engagements, where I was hiding behind the podium for protection, I met Sarah Hilton. The rest is history as she has been my speech coach for over 10 years now. Thanks to Sarah, I can engage with my audience on a deeper level, am a stronger presenter, am more creative, can build stories into my conversations and most importantly…I have confidence to build and grow my business. Sarah is different…she knows how to build connection with audiences, she understands creativity, she has a process that works. She is committed and strong and an expert in this field. I highly recommend Sarah Hilton to improve your results from speaking, presenting and engaging with audience opportunities.”

Speaker Testimonials

“ummm, ahhh,…. Okay, that’s what used to fill my empty thoughts when talking to a group of people. And then Sarah came along. And she taught me some incredible skills to improve my public speaking. By thinking about my message and communicating it in a way that grabs my audiences attention. I now have a lot more confidence when I speak and my business has grown tremendously since I’ve seen Sarah. Thank you Sarah! You definitely have the right formulas. In real estate you might hear location, location, location… when I think of my elevator pitches, I now think ABC, EDGE and practice, practice, practice. ;)”
