What people say about Power Up Coaching Academy
Presenting & Communications Coaching
Little did I know that acquiring knowledge and education without publicly communicating it in a way that it has to transform the lives of the listeners is ultimate until I met Netty at the Public Speakers University as my mentor.
How lucky I am to also learn about her POWER UP COACHING, a resource that I consider a must attend to complete the public speaking loop.
At POWER UP COACHING with Netty, I learn new knowledge and skills that reshaped my perception about public speaking and the necessary adjustments I have to make to better the set up of my company from the very beginning.
It is based on the foregoings and many more that I recommend POWER UP COACHING with Netty where your dream on stage will be realised.

Netty is amazing! She not only has an eye for the big picture but also can get very specific, recommending changes to content and presentation skills. She provided clear advice on how to improve my public speaking and apply new ways to connect with my audience. I'd invite Netty's feedback anytime.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Netty, who has played a large part in my public speaking development, moving me as an introvert barely stringing a sentence together (as I was sooo scared talking in front of three people) into standing in front of and talking to an 70+ school audience this week and hearing the round of applause and Headteacher’s positive comments. I would not have been able to do this without Netty’s encouraging support, understanding and guidance.
Many thanks Netty!

Wow. A very big thank you to Netty for the amazing coaching this year. When I started coaching, I cried and had a panic attack when Netty asked me to talk through an area of my business. With incredible patience, kindness, tips and facilitation, Netty has transformed my confidence in public speaking after a life time of self doubt and fear. I now say yes to all public speaking events. My most recent event was a live radio interview talking about my business. So grateful and couldn't have done it without Netty.

VIP STRATEGY DAY
Netty’s VIP Day was exceptional. She took time to understand me and my business rather than applying a one size fits all approach. I left with clear positioning, a practical framework, and an actionable plan I can start using immediately. I feel empowered, focused, and confident about next steps. Professional, insightful, and genuinely supportive. Highly recommended.
