Testimonials

Teresa Harlow

Promethean Problem Solvers

"The ProTrack program was thoughtful, informative, and full of beneficial resources. The faculty were supportive and encouraging, and the peer group helped workshop ideas and practice. I would highly recommend ProTrack to anyone seeking to develop their skills and confidence as a professional speaker."

Dr. Margie Serrato

Human Empowered, LLC

"After taking this course, I gave a speech based on what I learned and received a standing ovation. It doesn't get any better than that. That client also hired me for additional work, beyond the speech. To say that this is well worth the money is an understatement."

Brian Wagner

A Radical Vision

"I attended ProTrack 2022, and it was an incredible experience! The content was engaging and effective, and the instructors were professional speakers and well-known authors who were knowledgeable and personable. Diverse and impressive peers are a valuable addition to my network. I highly recommend this program!"

Joy Zhao, PCC, Leadership Coach

Finding Joy Coaching

"From the start of this program, my son, a 27-year survivor of traumatic brain injury, and I felt accepted into the NSA Ohio network of speakers. My son completed the ProTrack program, presented without a script, and demonstrated flexibility as a speaker. I am excited for the difference he will continue to make with his new growth and mindset."
