Gloria Pierre started her company, Clearly Speaking, in 2000 after a workplace incident revealed she was inept at handling situations assertively. Through research and interviews, she discovered communication is the one skill everyone uses regardless of their status, education or experience and that your success hinges on how well you are able to communicate.
As a result, she developed effective, interactive programs to empower clients to develop a stronger self-image to command attention and respect by expressing themselves more clearly, more confidently and more concisely.
Gloria has been training and coaching speakers, presenters, executives, entrepreneurs and native and non-native English speakers to communicate their ideas effectively and respectfully.
She has coached people who presented at the White House in Washington, spoke at Air Canada Centre and presented at the UN.
She has spoken at conferences in the Canada, US, The West Indies and South America and at events in Canada. She has been interviewed on Breakfast Television, Global TV, Omni TV and New Canadians TV and was profiled in Metro newspaper, radio and quoted in Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Gloria is the author of 7 books: (K)New Words, ABC’s of Networking, An English Guide to Pronunciation, Mispronounced & Misunderstood and ABC for Speakers & Presenters, ABC For The Workplace and ABC For The Workplace.
Gloria is doing what she is passionate about and intends to change your awareness of communication as a personal marketing tool.
“The one on one coaching has improved my self-awareness every time I talk. Organizing your thoughts is very important to reduce slurring, the filler words and most of all your inability to convey concisely. I learned how to hear my voice from the inside and improve my breathing as a result of those exercise. Overtime I know my shyness would vanish and present in any group or meetings with confidence at all times.”
