Client testimonials

“Patti Schutte is one of the best presentation coaches I’ve ever met. Over the years, she has helped me build compelling narratives for many engagements. We’ve worked together on internal and external corporate presentations and product launch messaging. She has helped me engage people while serving on industry panels. We’ve done webinars and training and most recently, she has helped me build my brand and messaging and corporate slide template as a business owner. Patti is top notch in her field and I highly recommend her services to everyone in need of content layout, presenting and speaking help. Oh wait, did I mention, she ROCKS!”

“When looking for expert professionals to present at our conference, we promote our partnership with Be Brilliant as the real reason you should send in a submission. Accepted speakers have the opportunity to work with Patti and her team from start to finish on their presentations and speaking style. Be Brilliant is as familiar with the jitters as with the highly-produced speeches of the gazillion-dollar earners. I have seen Patti work miracles at the highest levels – as well as transform less-experienced speakers.”

“Engaging with a group like Be Brilliant to assist with presentations is genius! Patti was amazing, she really refined the slides and taught me more about decks and presentations than anyone I’ve ever worked with! She made the entire process very easy! Thank you.”

Patti’s attention to detail–to the little things–makes the difference between good and great. The way that she communicates those little things back to me made such a huge difference for great in getting my message across!!”

“When you’re a busy professional, insightful support provided quickly and efficiently is priceless. I knew I had the tips and tricks ready to go because of my meeting with Patti. After my live presentation – not kidding – someone raised their hand at the end and said it was one of the best sessions they attended. Thank you Patti!”

“We knocked it out of the park!! Our audience was engaged, and many said it was one of the best presentations they had ever seen at the conference. We think our graphics-heavy presentation (thanks to Patti) kept the audience focused on our story and didn’t feel like what they would normally see back at work.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I had never presented at a conference before, not to mention as a customer spotlight in front of thousands. I was nervous and worried about getting our company’s story across and not making a fool of myself. The presentation came together beautifully. The audience was so engaged! Thank you again.”

“The biggest benefit to working with Patti is I am now more confident to deliver precise presentations that get my point across with clear purpose and intent and get results. I now know how to present through storytelling. Each session is worth every moment of my time as it’s customized to my immediate needs. ”

“I was worried about the coaching being remote, and my presentation in person. However, I should not have been worried! Patti’s coaching helped me have the skills to overcome my fears, move forward with creating my presentation quickly, and generate the slides I needed to be the best presenter I could be for my topics.”

“I know our customers really appreciated your feedback and I learned a ton from you. Thanks again for making sure everyone was prepared and helping to create interesting and memorable presentations! I’m definitely hoping to work with you again.”

“Thank you so much for all your help with the LWX Virtual Event. Your input and guidance for the virtual keynote speakers was very much appreciated. I always enjoy working with you and look forward to doing it again next year.”

“[My co-presenter] and I participated in your webcasts and took your advice. The audience loved it! We ended up winning the best of award at the conference and both feel that you deserve much of the credit for that.”

“Thank you for the excellent training materials you created for the virtual conference this year. They provided the perfect framework for developing my presentation and gave me some much-needed help!”

“Thank you sooooooo much!!! BTW – I met someone that worked with you last year; he immediately said, ‘I can totally tell you worked with Patti…’ 🙂 Your company’s brand is strong!”

“I wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU…you helped make onsite logistics, rehearsal, and the final show amazing.”
