Incredibly helpful.  Utterly fantastic and I go to Toastmasters. A great use of my time.

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about how beyond thrilled I am with Montana von Fliss. She has made an amazing impact on my project and has been jaw dropping in her results. She is truly excellent. We have much work to do together in the coming months. I have some bigger plans in the works, and if they come to pass, will keep us all very busy.

Kathleen Winder Senior Director, Microsoft

Montana is perhaps the most effective coaching professional I've had the pleasure of working with. Within minutes she was providing actionable advice that was improving the quality of our messaging and the effectiveness of my delivery. I've worked with many trainers and coaches like Montana and there are many unique qualities that put her above the rest; she never misses an opportunity to improve, catching the smallest of details that when tweaked can make the largest of impact, and has no hesitation in giving you the hard, constructive feedback that is sorely needed. Without a doubt, I'll be coming back to Montana for every one of our critical communication needs.

Alec Matias CEO, Pawzii

Montana is an excellent trainer.

David Talby SVP Engineering, Atigeo

Thank you for your time and talent yesterday! Hearing your insight on slide content was very helpful, but not the best jewel you shared. Relating to the audience, what they want and need, and how they best consume information was enlightening, and a “no-brainer” once you said it. Being a professional opera singer, I developed thick skin a long time ago. Hearing what can be improved and putting in the effort to making the presentation and delivery the best it can be is my life’s work. Thank you for being willing to share your viewpoint.

Mara Morse Architect, Security, MSFT

I wanted thank you again for our mentoring session today. It was truly eye-opening! I really appreciate your advice and feedback in helping me evolve as a presenter and connect with my audience. You are an invaluable asset!
