5-day Facebook Extravaganza testimonials

“Helene leads by example, she didn’t shy away from any problems she was having either with her own live stream or the technology. She provided a safe space and great prompts. and guidance. Throughout the week I was able to live stream and the feedback from the group was really helpful. I learnt so much and it was a good place to start”. Liz Ware.

“I am writing this to say how much I enjoyed working with Helene Musso she works from the purest form of love and genuinely wants all her pupils to succeed. During the five day challenge she has gently but firmly encouraged me to face my fears of doing live video. It helps enormously that you post in a safe environment where there is only positive reinforcement. If you want to succeed with live streaming then just do it, go with Helene and you will not regret one second”. Sharon Rea.

I am so grateful to Helene for creating the FB Live Group where I got to practice speaking Live to people I did not know on camera. This is something that I had wanted to do to help grow my business for a very long time, yet due to my fears had never got round to it. The space that Helene provided was safe, structured, empowering and kind and it really allowed me to grow so much with confidence over the time. By the end of the five days, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it, so much so, that it left me wanting to explore more. Helene’s feedback and topics of conversation were invaluable, along with the great camaraderie amongst the other people I grew to know within the group. I would not hesitate to recommend Helene and look forward to working with her in the future. ❤️

I’ve just re-read your original request ^above^ and I notice you’ve asked how to improve etc. I personally don’t think for a ‘free’ space/offer that there is any need to improve whatsoever. It was a private and empowering space that we all had the opportunity to practice within, with constructive feedback”. Anna Fisher.

Thank you so much Helene Musso for organising and creating the 5-Day Facebook Live Extravaganza Group. I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to join and gain so much knowledge and experience and for free. The chance to learn about Facebook Live and practice creating our own videos within a safe and private group has been so valuable. As well as the brilliant benefit of having a support network to share, encourage and provide positive comments to each other, is such a worth while idea. I am extremely grateful for all your time, professional and friendly help and enthusiasm Helene. Along with your advice and tips re technology regarding using Facebook Live and our individual feedback. All round a terrific experience, great to meet you all and hopefully new connections made. Thanks again, Nicole Tomlin.

Confidence on Camera Membership testimonials

I really enjoyed the group work and Helene’s style. I like the idea of knowing I work well with a visual cue: anchor. Good to be reminded if the circle of assurance, I did use it after! The group us feeling we’re all working for each other, great. Like the idea of standing when presenting, will work on this. All very supportive and helping me. I enjoyed connecting with the group, focusing on my ideal client and the breathing exercises. Good to be reminded of ‘making myself bigger’ it helps so much with the confidence.  Gill Clark, Gill’s Health Hub – Homeopathy

I really enjoyed today as usual, I’m so loving the support, honestly I feel so inspired every time so thank you. I’m learning from our calls to shut my inner critic up. Really loved the eye technique to look at when recording, and also standing up when doing a video. Thank you Helene. Lisa Ferris, Virtual PA.

Public Speaking Demystified course testimonials

“I learned so much from Helene and it is largely because of her that I am able to run my own events and feel comfortable speaking, which is something I never imagined would happen.”

When I first attended one of Helene’s short courses I was nervous even to stand in front of the group to speak. I had been trained in advocacy for my profession but speaking from the heart was something different! In a couple of hours Helene showed me how to connect with an audience and gave me the confidence I needed to make a start. Later, I attended a one day course with Helene which really helped me to build a solid foundation. I learned to deliver my message and to feel confident before an audience. The experience was fun and inspiring and I felt comfortable in the safe space that Helene held for us. I was also lucky enough to experience a transformational afternoon during which Helene coached me in speaking in front of a camera. I went from awkward to poised in a few short hours and a whole world of new possibilities opened up for me. I now have the confidence to host my own events, to grasp with both hands any opportunities to speak no matter how large the audience, and I have the wonderful gift of knowing that public speaking can be enjoyable and fulfilling, rather than terrifying. Thanks, Helene!”
Harriet Balcombe, Mind Calm coach

 

“I thought it was exceptional and I came away feeling confident that I would be a match for Jeremy Paxman or John Humphries when the day comes, you had a wealth of tips and a common sense attitude that enabled you to turn us all in to very calm and collected orators prepared to go out and tell our own story to the world when given the opportunity, we were also eager to make those occasions happen and shown how to create the opportunities, the small group I trained with were converted from anxious mumblers to polished speakers before the end of the day, and for that I thank you.”
Terry Farthing, Managing Director, Airport Lettings, London

“This is the third workshop I have attended with Helene and have found each one very useful and helpful. I realise that gaining the confidence and skills to feel at ease speaking in public will take time but Helene’s courses are helping to speed up that process.”
Jackie Hopper, homeopath.

“I enjoyed the course as it helped me to understand myself and basic of public speaking, it helped me to interact with ease in a group and to express myself. It helped me to understand my strengths and change the perception of myself when it comes to speaking. I would certainly recommend the course to anyone who wishes to speak in public”.
Shiva Shankar, Doctor

2 weeks after the training , this is what Shiva Shankar added: “Just to let you know my presentation went well attending your workshop gave me the confidence to face everyone so I am looking forward to meet you again. Thanks”

 

2 weeks later, Andrea Hall led a Fitness camp training centre and said the following afterwards: “Thank you Helene Musso loved tonight, feeling so much better in myself after your course, believing in myself” and was congratulated by several members of the group.

 

2 days after the training, Gina Blundell made a business presentation and that is what she said afterwards I felt more confident and breathed, looked around, made eye contact and smiled! Also felt nervous when I stood up but this time, I looked around the room and introduced myself.. Think I will always feel the nerves at the start then relax into it Definitely helped xx

Lyndsey Watson

3 days after the training this is what Lyndsey said:

Just wanted to check in and let you know I had WIBN – a networking group- today (not my 10 min presentation) and I really noticed the difference. I chose to stand for my one minute and I actually enjoyed it. I smiled, looked around the table and felt the support and was no where near as nervous as usual and that is all down to you so thank you so much. I am looking forward to my 10 mins pitch next month x

An interactive workshop packed with useful tools by a down to earth leader/presenter who is passionate about sharing her wealth of experience at a bargain price. You would be mad to miss our on this!

Helene run a series of workshops for Anglia Ruskin Student Services on the 28th of January 2016 on Change management and Communication skills.

Hélène Musso successfully delivered motivational workshops to 100 of our staff members at our annual Away Day in January 2016. These workshops were very well received by staff, who confirmed that the main themes covered (“Change, and how to deal with it” & “How to interact with your colleagues”) were highly relevant. Hélène has a natural ability to lift peoples’ spirits, taking them out of their comfort zones in an encouraging & constructive way. Hélène is a passionate motivator & I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a high calibre professional to ignite confidence and encourage positive communication within your workforce.
Isabelle Cooke, PA, student services, Anglia Ruskin

 

I just wanted to express my thanks for the sessions you ran at our Staff Away Day last week. They were each thought provoking and engaging which was evidenced by the large numbers who enthusiastically participated in the activities. Some of the activities pushed us to step beyond our comfort zones but showed us what can be achieved by doing so – overall it seemed everyone had an enjoyable day and created a real feel good factor within the team.
Amanda Crouch AFHEA, Employability & Careers Team Manager

 

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your workshop sessions last week at our “Away Day” which were interactive, thought provoking and engaging…. learning can be fun!

Feedback after providing training for speakers at Winning women Essex 2015

It all started when I was “asked” to hold a speech to a group of entrepreneurial women. I have never ever done any kind of public speaking so this naturally really scared me. However Helene offered to help me prepare for it through a couple of sessions with her. It was the best money & time I have spent on myself and my own empowerment in a long time! Helene is a lovely bubbly lady with a wonderful personality who makes you feel instantly at ease. She took me back to the very basics, including breathing, but the most help was to get my “story” right seen/heard from someone else’s perspective i.e what did she want to know and why. With her guidance & help I got my speech notes created, we then practised a couple of times while timing me. I would highly recommend Helene for any speaking event you have to do. It has made me realise that I do know a lot more about Reflex Integration and Sensory Motor Therapy than most people, I am good at what I do and I conquered my fear and stood up last night and did my speechThank you again Helene!

You certainly supported your lovely women enabling them to get up and share, Helene, and giving them confidence to do that is obviously your forte.
Irene Brankin

Without Helene’s help I would have really struggled to hold it together last night. Thank you Helene, I will be coming back for more! Yes, thank you Helene for supporting and guiding us to face standing up and sharing with all the fabulous women. I hope we have set a precedent for other winning women to stand up and share their stories and services.
Jan Cheswright

Thanks for today Helene It was so helpful Beautifully presented And really natural not like a tutorial great Information shared in an easy fun way,
Celia Leslie, Transformational breath

“Hélène presents in a lively and captivating way displaying passion and belief in herself, transferring honest and positive energy. She radiates such positive energy which is impossible to avoid. It is externally very obvious when Hélène believes in/is connected to, whatever it is she is presenting to someone. For anyone wanting to develop and tune into such skills, she can help you “feel the fear and do it anyway.”
Angela, 3rd Year Student in Law, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford

“It is great to see the ladies gain confidence and share vulnerable stories which reveal why they do what they do”Rosemary Cunningham, Winning women.

 

“It was very interactive and energizing course. Helene created positive and friendly atmosphere which helped me to feel safe. I’m glad I joined the workshop and I’ll recommend to anyone who would like to improve his confidence. By the way, you’ve mention that I’ll see the gradual improvement. I think I started to see the results now. I went for some birthday party just after Christmas where I knew one person and briefly one couple (it was about 30 people in different age). I was quite calm and confident I have to say. Very unusual for me normally I would be stressed and would like to run away ASAP.” – Beata Diakowska


Helene Musso is fabulous, if anyone gets nerves when speaking publicly, Helene is the person to speak to, she is funny and helps build your confidence and I should know because she helped me. Thank you Helene. – Karen Daniels, Forever living Product.

Helene Musso’s workshops are highly recommended. She is a lovely, friendly person and her Public Speaking Workshop was fun and enjoyable. She takes you back to basics to help you get over any fear or nerves that you may have about public speaking, helps you relax and inspires you with confidence so that you feel brave enough to say anything to anyone. She has taught me new ways of gaining confidence before public speaking that I can use in giving workshops and speaking engagements as the founder of WRITE WAI PR & COPYWRITING SERVICES. Thank you Helen and Public Speaking Demystified. I am looking forward to reading your new book, The Power of Outrageous Expression;”

Coaching Testimonials

Thank you to the wonderful Helene for an interesting hour of coaching this morning. This has helped me to focus and I have tasks now set to produce results by Monday! I have to get cracking and do some work. We covered quite a lot and I enjoyed the NLP ( I had done courses in this years ago but Helene is a Practitioner of Neuro Linguistics) all about the mind and how we communicate and Helene is much more accomplished so it was great to go through some of these techniques again but at a higher level. Thank you Helene! I look forward to reporting back!
Beverley Sky Walker

 

Helene made me feel calm and made me feel safe, she did not make me feel stupid, my feelings mattered. They were validated and she helped me address my insecurities. I feel that I can now look and deal with situations more rationally. I can also deal with situations more calmy and with confidence after my work with Helene. Thank you.
Bambi Harrison, from BB Harrison Chartered Certified Accountant

 

“I thoroughly enjoyed Helene Musso‘s Public Speaking Introductory Workshop. Helene is a lovely lady and she made us all relax and the exercises were engaging. She showed us how to unlock the five keys so that we feel we can public speak with confidence. I can’t wait to put her techniques into practice and to read her new book, ‘The Power of Outrageous Expression.”
