“I came to Wayne because I needed a coach to help me with my public speaking. My lack of strong communication and public speaking skills were holding me back in my career and personal life, but Wayne was able to transform me. His extensive, ongoing research into coaching and speech techniques allowed him to mold a learning plan that worked for me and let my inner voice and style flourish. I’m now a more confident speaker and person and couldn’t recommend Wayne highly enough.”

Wayne presented to our group in a webinar called “Disability Awareness: Opening Doors To Employment” for Disability Employment Awareness Month. His passion for accessibility was evident in his storytelling and his approach to engagement during the session was excellent! He was able to share some great examples and advice on a variety of barriers and accommodations and the level interest was very high during the Q&A portion for a blossoming discussion.
