When I first began working with Abbey, I was a shy and timid business owner who had a message to deliver to the world but didn't know how. I was very transparent with Abbey about being super confident as a speaker in my previous management role, however once I needed to speak about my own business I ran for cover. She not only identified where the fear was coming from, but made a game plan to acknowledge it and overcome. After ONE session with Abbey, I not only felt confident about speaking on my business, but I understood the concept of pitching. I had the wrong perspective the entire time, and she reassured me that everything I needed was already in me. Without Abbey's help I wouldn't have the opportunities I have today. I signed up for her one on one training and soon joined her 6 week Speak Easy Course. I attended her Pop-Up Pitch event and really put my skills to the test, and I've been pitching ever since! I never anticipated I would be as confident as I am to pitch as much as I am, but I've fallen in love with speaking about my business and telling the world my story. I refer everyone I can to her, and I can't wait to see her change the lives of so many others!

I first met Abbey in my capacity as the manager of small business services at the Baton Rouge Area Chamber. She is an amazing talent and when I found out about Speak Easy, I jumped at the chance to join the first cohort. The experience was awesome, and she’s given me both the tools and the confidence to be a better public speaker. Highly endorse!

Working with Abbey Kish was a game-changer for my startup! I recently had the opportunity to work with Abbey through her 6 week public speaking course Speak Easy. I signed up because I wanted to learn the skills needed to successfully pitch investors and raise capital for my startup. This experience has been a game-changer for my venture, and I cannot recommend it enough. From mastering the art of storytelling to portraying confidence, this course has significantly improved my ability to present my startup's concept and value proposition effectively. Before enrolling in the public speaking course, I was facing numerous challenges in conveying my startup's vision to potential investors. I often received feedback that my pitch was difficult to follow, making it hard for investors to grasp the essence of my idea. The frustration of being unable to communicate the brilliance of my startup was holding me back. About the same time I was introduced to Abbey. The course's emphasis on building trust with your audience made a remarkable impact on my pitching abilities. I learned how to craft a compelling narrative that not only captured the attention of investors but also kept them engaged throughout the entire pitch. Abbey provided constructive feedback and practical exercises to help me refine my body language, voice modulation, and overall presence during the pitch. As a result, I felt more self-assured and in control while presenting my startup, which further boosted my credibility in the eyes of potential investors. The most significant validation of my progress came when, for the first time, an investor remarked that my idea was easy to understand. This compliment was a huge win for me, and I credit it entirely to the skills I acquired during the public speaking course. If you're an entrepreneur looking to enhance your pitching skills and take your startup to new heights, I wholeheartedly recommend this course - it's worth every penny and more.
