“Choosing Successfully Speaking for my Professional Speaking Skills & Accent Modification was the right decision to make.
It was a life-changing experience and I thank Lynda for her professionalism, patience, and understanding.
The program has given a boost to my professional confidence as people around me understand me better and I do not have to repeat myself as I used to before the program.
Also very exciting is how this program has improved my listening ability.
Before this program, I used to think that native speakers talk too fast.
Lynda opened my ‘eyes’ to different aspects of the American English I did not know.
I wish I had done it a long time ago. I would surely recommend Successfully Speaking to anyone who really wants value for his or her time and money.”
