My goal in attending Summer's workshop was to increase my confidence in public speaking and learn to communicate more effectively and with ease. The session was incredibly valuable, as it provided concrete strategies on how to deliver clear, concise communication while speaking with authority. I walked away feeling better equipped to speak with authority in numerous settings. As a result, my confidence has increased and I feel my communication style truly positions me as a leader.

I attended the Saturday Sessions Public Speaking Practice Lab with Coach Summer and had a great experience! What drew me to this workshop was her message that your work will not speak for itself and that you have to be the voice of your expertise and experience. That really resonated with me as I continue to grow in leadership and strengthen how I communicate my ideas. During this session, I learned about the IMPACT framework, and what stood out most is that it gave language to things I was already doing while also introducing new ways to think about communicating effectively. The smaller setting created space to really practice, apply the framework in real time, and receive feedback without feeling intimidated. I was able to use it to practice pitching an idea I am currently working on at my job, and the feedback I received was clear, supportive, and actionable. I was nervous going into it, but I left feeling more confident in my message and reminded that practice is what builds confidence, not waiting until everything feels perfect. I am already applying what I learned with my team by helping them structure their ideas and practice in real time. This experience supported both my growth and how I show up for others, and I look forward to continuing to build in this area.

As a Social Media Strategist, I joined Summer’s group coaching with the goal of getting better at sharing my ideas for company strategy in a way that was truly effective and clear. I knew I had valuable contributions to make, but I was struggling to articulate them in a way that would land with impact. The most valuable part of the experience was the opportunity for practice with real-time, in-session feedback. It wasn’t just about learning concepts; we were actively applying them and getting guidance on the spot. The impact of this approach was amazing. I am now able to communicate what I need to far more effectively, and I feel more confident when I speak. Since the session, I’ve even gotten approvals on my ideas, which is a direct result of this work. Summer has a gift for identifying exactly what you need to work on and providing the tools to help you improve immediately. I found the session incredibly helpful and would recommend it to anyone looking to make a tangible, immediate improvement in their communication skills.
