Review & Rating
Janine is a gifted and knowledgeable teacher and coach. She helped me refine my message and deliver a powerful presentation that hit the mark in every way. She has an uncanny ability to help me dig deeper and discover what is most essential in communicating with my audience. She is also hilarious and helps bring humor and laughter to the experience. I found the session fun and thought provoking. She is also incredibly professional... She always delivers notes, emails, fun quotes and tips throughout the week. I cannot express how satisfied I feel about the experience and final outcome.
I used Janine for a conference professional development session and the group loved her and received a ton of takeaways from it!! Couldn't have been happier with our choice!
I wish I would have met Janine 10 years ago!! I had an incredible experience working with her. Each session was professional, yet fun and she is so easy to work with. I have taken other classes before, and this was by far the BEST! I highly recommend Janine Burke!
I recently took a new position within my company in the sales department. I have never been in sales. After a year, I decided to look for a coach to help me make my very dry technical material more vibrant, fun and engaging. I found Janine Burke via Google. I contacted her, and we met for 2 hours. IT WAS FANTASTIC! She doesn't know much about my industry but quickly dug in, understood and helped me write a fun opening to my presentation. It was amazing what we were able to create in just 2 hours. She was really easy and fun to work with.
Janine worked with me to prepare for an important executive talk at a time when I hadn’t publicly spoken in years. On top of that the entire script had to be rewritten days before the presentation. She was a superstar to help me to succeed in this difficult position. Thanks Janine!
I attend the breakout session with Janine Burke at the A.C.T. conference in July 2018. I am terrified of public speaking – it took all the courage I had just to sign up. I was amazed how quickly the 3-hour workshop went by – and by the end of the workshop each of the participants had the opportunity to speak. Yes, I still had butterflies but I knocked the ball out of the park (for me) - no umms/ahhs or any filer words. My little speech just flew out of my mouth EXACTLY as Janine said it would. She gave us so many tips and tricks (including how to avoid filler words) that the professionals use. At times we played games (for $) and because we formed into little groups - by the end of the workshop, a gaggle of strangers were all great friends. The workshop was not only great fun but Janine answered every question that we could think of and even stayed to help people that had more personal questions. I have used her handouts and the notes I took in the workshop so often and will continue to do so. I cannot thank A.C.T. and Janine enough for providing such a valuable workshop that I will use for the rest of my life.
I had just been promoted at work and I knew that public speaking is going to mean the difference between doing well – or NOT. I had considered not taking the job because of my extreme fear of public speaking – however, I took it and held my breath. My first week on the job, I was told I had to give 2 major presentations in the next few weeks. Panicked, I called Janine and she immediately came to the rescue. She even met me on a Sunday! She asked I send her my outline and anything I had before we even met, and by the time I met her, she had improved it out of sight. I couldn’t believe it. We spent the session going over how to overcome my crippling nerves, how to make a big opening and make it way more engaging than I would have ever thought possible. That was just ONE two-hour session. I cannot wait to spend more time with Janine as she works her magic. I felt so much better than I could have ever thought possible and my presentations went really well.
How to get over the fear or public speaking. Take one part heart, one part creative mind and two parts humor, mix well and serve, you get an incredible skill of Janine Burke. She will turn your drab script into a dynamite one and make your public speaking fears fade with her hands on approach. She will guide you through eliminating filler words, how to use pauses for impact and teach you all you need to know about delivery and body language to make your presentation more powerful and persuasive. Janine is not just a great speaking coach but more importantly, a great communication coach. And isn't that what we all strive to do - communicate with our audiences? I cannot recommend Janine highly enough and I had tried several other coaches before I met her.
I've had two sessions with Janine (so far!) to help prepare for important presentations at work, as well as a wedding speech. Already, I feel a new sense of confidence in my ability to calmly and effectively deliver a great performance in front of large audiences. Janine has helped me in particular with my preparation and a variety of techniques that allow me to relax and be myself, in what used to be a highly stressful situation. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
Janine hosted a public speaking workshop for our non-profit organization which consisted of 14 staff members. She was very professional, knowledgeable, engaging, and personable! She took time and care to do her research and learn about who we were as an organization and tailored the workshop so the techniques she discussed were relevant to what we needed to strengthen our skills. She created a supportive and empowering learning environment so everyone felt comfortable to express the personal challenges they faced with public speaking and practice in front of an audience. There wasn't a dull moment during the workshop and she kept us on our toes! She also provided much needed honest feedback about how we (as an organization) pitched our mission and programs to potential constituents, which was inconsistent and not easily understood. She even went as far as guiding us to develop consistent messaging that all staff members could use as a springboard to engaging our audience. She was the talk of our lunch break and my colleagues only had positive things to share about their experience participating in her workshop; They each expressed leaving with strategies they never knew about prior to the workshop. Thank you Janine for being such a dynamic coach! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Janine for trainings to hone your public speaking skills!
