MEET HILARY

“Most people think that singers, performers and actors don’t get nervous. I’m here to tell you that that isn’t actually true. Most people — even professional performers — DO get nervous when they are in high stakes situations. The difference between these people and you is that they know how to perform at their best even when they are nervous. Through my decades of stage experience and using the GK methodology I am so grateful to be able to change people’s minds about performing, giving them tools that they can use every day to perform at their very best. “

WORKING WITH HILARY

“I thought the whole program was fantastic...They are a wonderful team...They had such great energy that put me (and I think the others in my breakout group) at ease. My breakout session was with Hilary. I thought she did a great job leading the group and gave helpful feedback to everyone...I left the breakout group with some great tools from Hilary and feeling like I had gotten a lot out of the day”

"I thought my breakout group had the best GK Trainer, but it looks like every group felt the same about theirs! I love presenting and it was so great to dedicate some time to working on it with professional coaches. I had to certify out on another training this morning and in my preparation last night I used your teaching point of going over more of my presentation orally instead of just redrafting the script over and over. I would put it up against anything else we did in the valuable week of training we just experienced. I’m sure my colleagues would agree. Thanks again!"

"As always, such a gift for us to have you in the class. You have such optimism, energy and care. It shines through! And I love how you give simple, clear but meaningful feedback that's immediately digestible and actionable. It's always such a treat to have you, so thank you."
