I was one of her very first clients when I took her two day speaker course approximately four years ago. She is a very charismatic, fun, and very knowledgeable person. She made me feel much more comfortable with speaking in front of the other classmates. Thanks very much, Doris! read more

Hello Yelp! I am a sophomore at LAHS who had Doris help me with my TEDx talk, and she was fantastic. Doris is a super friendly, funny person who's main goal is to help you in any she can. Throughout the process Doris did everything she could to help me, even in her off time when we weren't meeting. I remember how I would be working on my speech at the all hours of the day, and half of the time she would be on there too, commenting helpful suggestions. She spent hours looking over my speech giving me notes on how to have a clearer, stronger message. Then once the speech was perfected we would go through memorization tips, like grouping the information in small sentences in order to memorize chunks of the speech faster. Finally she guided me on how to speak with clear, big posture, a loud voice, and how to move throughout a stage. I remember if I didn't start strong enough she would act out how I looked, and make me try again, it was extremely helpful. I highly recommend Doris if you have a big presentation, or anything that involves talking in front of people. read more

Following up on my last review - Doris helped me prep for my best man speech (along with others in the Executive Program) and it could not have gone better! I received many compliments on my speech, not just on the content but also how I delivered the speech and my overall composure. Once again I highly reccomend! read more

What a great experience talking with Doris! She is extremely helpful and professional. I wasn't able to work with her as the needs of my case require a different realm of expertise in which she doesn't specialize in but she was able to help me hone in on precisely what I needed and referred me to a specialist she works with regularly. Doris is warm, inviting and pleasantly authoritative in her knowledge. She took the time to understand my exact needs as a client and addressed each layer of support I needed until I was on my way with exactly the right person to talk to. An absolute pleasure to speak with her! Highly recommend using her services for your speech writing needs. What a gem! read more

This is a great program and I am really glad that I signed up. Doris is a wonderful coach and mentor for public speaking and leadership skills. This program not only teaches useful tactics to improve public speaking, but also provides a great stage for me to practice my skills. Most importantly, it helps me gain a lot of confidence in delivering important speeches to large audiences. Overall, it's a very positive and rewarding experience. read more

I'm a Certified Photo Organizer and attended Doris' WNA (Women's Networking Alliance) presentation "Wake Up Your Business - How to Say What You Do in 10 Words or Less". Doris' presentation was inspiring! She helped me reach my "10 words or less"! When I attend workshops or presentations like this, it's rare for me to come away with the complete promised result. But, she changed that for me! "I create organized photo libraries and then do something magical with them." THANK YOU! Glenda Evans, CPO Certified Photo Organizer, Willow Glen, San Jose read more

After completely and utterly bombing a presentation at work I came across Doris' site. I took her up on the offer for a free consultation call, and I knew immediately that she was someone I wanted to work with. A few weeks later, I was offered a very high profile public speaking engagement - and I went for it, knowing that Doris would be there to help guide me through it. In a few short weeks (and over the busy holiday season) - Doris transformed me into a confident and poised speaker. She was invaluable in helping me manage my anxiety, polish my content, and improve my delivery. I can't thank her enough for both the personal transformation I have achieved, as well as my professional growth (as a consequence of accepting the speaking opportunity - my LinkedIn profile views (and my confidence) shot up over 1,000%). read more

Doris has done a tremendous job helping me with clearly presenting my value position to leave a meaningful impact. I highly recommend Doris for everything from presentation preparation to effective communication styles. Thank you for making my value to business partners clear and concise. read more

I absolutely love Doris and the work she does to help executives and business owners like myself improve their leadership presence. I just joined her upcoming Executive Presence Program in June and I'm very excited. read more

Doris is exactly the kind of person you want on your team. She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun, and inspires you to grow. I met Doris when my partner and I were relatively new in our business running a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. Growing our private practice had been challenging, especially because Chinese Medicine can seem so foreign and illegitimate to many people who are only familiar with Western medicine. I had known from the beginning how crucial it is to educate people but it wasn't until I started working with Doris that I realized that I needed to get out and do talks in the community. With Doris's help my partner and I have now done 4 speaking events, organized 1 workshop series and hold ongoing classes. Doris gives simple, practical advice and the support to gain confidence in booking and creating speaking events, even for someone like me who by default tends to be more of an introvert. She goes way above and beyond to help me be successful in my speaking endeavors because she genuinely cares - from helping me edit my written speech, to doing video recordings of me while practicing the speech, even showing up at my speaking events to cheer me on! Doris is also a wealth of resources and connected my partner and I with powerful business allies in the community. Thank you for everything, Doris! read more

Doris recently helped me prepare for an important event at work. I have always shied speaking in front of groups, but an opportunity came up at work that I couldn't resist. While I was very nervous, Doris helped me prepare for the meeting and boosted my confidence. With her tips and very helpful advice, I was able to feel confident going into the event. Even when things didn't go as planned during the meeting (which seems unavoidable these days, especially over videoconference), I was able to go with the flow and the meeting ended up being a success. I highly recommend Silicon Valley Speaks! read more

Working with Doris in the Executive Presence course was a great experience! Doris balances theory and practice in her classes very well. She is also very supportive and attentive throughout this whole process, and offers great feedback during individual sessions. I found practical assignments (such prepared and impromptu speeches) especially useful for combatting my fear of public speaking. Highly recommend! read more

I first meet Doris at a mixer a few years ago. I provide financing to business owners. I am a numbers person and not comfortable speaking to groups. I was asked to speak at Abbott, Strigham and Lynch CPA firm in San Jose, to their monthly emerging business group. I was terrified and sought Doris out as I was desperate. Her coaching not only helped me with speaking at this function but since I have given presentations at a number of other events. Thank you Doris for your help. Sincerely, Joe Monte TB Business Finance read more

In this era of information overload, Doris nails it when it comes to public speaking skills. Her format of 1:1 coaching sessions combined with group exercises makes it possible to learn unconsciously and present the story without losing one's unique style. read more

Every time I introduce myself at a networking event or when I am giving a presentation, I have a quick, memorable, and powerful intro to share with my audience that I would never have created without the help of Doris! I attended one of her events that was about creating your "zipline" or how to say what you do in 10 words or less. This has been so incredibly helpful to me. My zipline has become a staple of my marketing message and I use it all the time. I can't more highly recommend that you work with Doris if you are looking to streamline your introductions to clearly and concisely say what you do in an impactful way! read more

Doris is awesome! Can't recommend her enough for anyone looking for an executive coach / public speaking coach.

When I launched my business I knew that speaking in front of groups would play a key role in growing my business. I also knew that I'd need some help in getting more comfortable with public speaking. Doris showed me everything I needed to know and then some. From how to structure my presentations to getting me out there and doing it, she was there for me all the way. Thank you, Doris! read more

When I met Doris, I knew at first sight that she was the ideal person who could motivate me to experience what a speech class was like, and not be always an outsider. I said yes to her 6 month Speaker Training Program, and I had my mind set up to make a better me with the confidence in Doris because she possessed such a high level of professionalism. Doris is very knowledgeable and considerate in the way she designed her class for every student. For me, it was not easy to calm myself when my turn came for my 1st speech. However, with the sincere smile of Doris, my pounding heart was put in better control right away Doris planned with utmost thought different kinds of activities and deep questions in class that let everyone realize the many other sides of us we each have. There was so much joy in that seeing everyone could learn and have fun at the same time! I did not expect a speech class could be filled with laughter too! It was also a pleasure to meet great people from different professions. All of my classmates were very supportive of each other on the road of improving ourselves. Doris really built a great sense of community within the group! I highly recommend Doris, and you will be pleasantly surprised to realize you are much better than you think, and can do more than you ever thought you could with the inspiration from Doris! read more
