Nice testimonials from clients in the Federal Capital Region
Looking to improve my verbal communication in order to continue to progress in my work, I contacted Mr. Gauthier in the hope that he could help me.
He took care to call me and discuss my needs and expectations for 1 hour. After the call, I always asked myself the following question: "Concretely, how will he be able to help me? ». At that time, it was still an abstract concept for me, as I have a Cartesian mind.
Despite everything, I threw myself into the adventure thinking that it could only be beneficial to me! And it did. With each lesson, I could see the progress made from one week to the next, and I found myself enjoying listening to our recorded sessions again and again. Mr. Gauthier is a very nice person and a great teacher, so he's easy to work with.
In the end, this training fully met my initial objective and my needs! In addition to giving me more self-confidence, it has allowed me to build up a toolbox that will be very useful to me in the future.
Thank you Mr. Gauthier! »

"The first time I spoke to Mr. Gauthier, I found him to be very friendly, but I was wondering how he would be able to help me. In each lesson, I realized that I was learning to love my voice and I was making huge progress in building confidence to express myself better. What I especially appreciated were his words of encouragement; his teaching adapted to my learning needs.
In the end, I have absolutely no regrets about registering and I would 100% recommend Mr. Gauthier’s course. I cannot finish without thanking Mr. Gauthier's wife who made this course even more exciting thanks to her smile, her good humour and her guidance. Continue your great work, sir."

"Needless to say, Benoît is a pro. His instruction is detailed and comprehensive. By drawing on both a long career in the theatre and extensive theoretical knowledge, he offered me a variety of approaches when I undertook to develop my voice and bring awareness to my body language. In short, Benoît embodies a wealth of knowledge and communicates this knowledge to his students effectively."

"In 2015, the CLD des Collines-de-l’Outaouais retained the services of Mr. Gauthier to give business people two training sessions on public speaking. The three-hour-long workshops in English and in French helped them develop specific communication skills to better present their services and products. Many of the participants sent us follow-up phone calls thanking us, and we are renewing the experience in 2016."

"It is interesting to receive feedback on what and how we sound when we speak, because in day-to-day life, we have to speak (whether we are comfortable doing so, or not), and it is rare that in day-to-day life we receive actual feedback, critique or constructive criticism to improve what and how we sound when we speak."

"I enjoyed this public speaking seminar. It was simple and fun. The professor brought our attention to basic principles of public speaking and gave us plenty of opportunities to practice. It was encouraging, which is probably one of the most important things – if we feel encouraged, we can relax and speak."

"Very informative and educational. I will keep the ideas presented in mind as I continue to develop my public speaking skills. Having been presented with a defined structure for public speaking, I feel confident that my skills will improve."
