 “So she said, ‘Don't overthink, don't over complicate it. This is your story. If you focus on speaking from an authentic place and not concern with who all is in the room, but that you're there to give them a message and to share your story,  it will come off as authentic.’ And every person that gave feedback said ‘Whoever coached you must have done amazing with you and took their time.’ ."  - Allayah

"The biggest thing for me in addition to getting clarity on having a clear value proposition, what she really pushed me,  to showcase myself. And that not only prompted me to take the deck to a better place, but it also prompted me to do some self-reflection about myself as a founder and what I was putting forward to people.

So, I think she really sparked something in me that had me take a journey inward to say, 'Who is this founder that I am presenting to world and why should people invest in this business?' And I would say more than anything else, that is really where she guided and encouraged me

to show off what I have to offer both in a business idea and as a human being. I think it really was a pivotal moment for me to say, 'You know I have really done some impressive things as a human being in my time. I am the right person to start this company. I should be a lot bolder about the way I am presenting myself' and she really advocated for me to do that.." - Courtney
