" Irene's sensitive and truly empathic personality and her gentle but highly effective methods have made a big contribution to my business success over the past year She has enabled me to become more effective in my work by delivering higher quality seminars and training sessions and I can warmly recommend her to anyone who wants to combine professional and personal development.

Jean marc Rommes, Business Culture Analyst
" My work involves a great deal of front line contact, in person and on the telephone, with existing and potential clients. Since training with Irene those dreadful tell-tale nervous glitches in pitch and tone are a thing of the past.
Contented clients and a happy boss are now the order of the day, thanks to Irene's innovative Voice Power classes. In my opinion money well spent."
Jill Wilson, Consultant
" My interest in Voice work is double edged. Firstly to enhance my capabilities when giving business presentations and chairing meetings. Secondly to develop my creative potential. Irene's practical help combined with her dramatic skills and imagination, have been the most effective means to inspiring confidence when speaking or reading in public. She comes highly recommended.
