Melanie pushed me out of my comfort zone to become a confident public speaker

In this video, Meriem Afif, Inside channel manager for Benelux, Milestone tell us about her experience with my presentation skills course and her sessions with me as a business communication coach. And how these have pushed her out of her comfort zone to become a confident public speaker.

Watching Meriem you can see for yourself what makes a good speaker: She is immediately credible, connects with the audience with her passion and uses body language and her voice. What authentic communication!

Why did you take this Presentation skills coaching programme with Melanie?

Since I was a little girl I was super fascinated by people who could speak very well. I don't know what to reason is but I was always fascinated by those people.

Then 20 years later I started as a salesperson at Milestone. So I had to present more, I had to sell more.

And for that I needed to communicate better and that's actually one of the reasons, the biggest reasonwhy I started the communication coachings with Melanie.

 So it was something that I've always wanted to do and also something that I needed for my work.

How do you feel now when you speak in publc?

I'm still shy when I speak in public, but it's much better. So I feel more confident and that's also something that I wanted to say is that Melanie gives you that confidence boost every time you go to a session, you get out of the

session with so much confidence and that's I think also key to presenting and to communicating.is the confidence aspect. So I do feel better when I speak in public.

Still shy but I'm working on it!

What did you think of the public speaking programme?

I obviously loved the course. So Melanie was super enthusiastic during our sessions which really helped me get out of my comfort zone and really progress in my communication.

She also uses great tools, especially AI tools that I used at home and really helped me to work on my communication skills. She also isuper available. So when we had our sessions, she will be available after it also and before our session. So if I have a question that pops up.

Or if I have, if I send her an email about our course she will always answer it.

 And that's really something that helped me in my evolution. So yes! Absolutely great!
