"We are really overall really happy with the speeches and both Carla and Miguel (Figueire) who were great and understood the situation when I explained to them we were having issues with the chosen AV provider. I hope we'll have the chance to collaborate again in the near future! Thank you again and wish you a nice week ahead." -- Eleonora Boni Events Operations Coordinator Logo-PNP-Firma
“Athletes and their stories are great examples of how someone is able to overcome and incorporate values in the quest for excellence – and they are true life mottos. Helping athletes to communicate these experiences, valuing their life paths and opening their careers to society, has been a path of undeniable success for Carla Rocha.”
“It was an enriching experience. I learned that life is a book of stories that we all should remember to tell. I have acquired presentation techniques that I will keep forever with me and I also learned from the experience of all the people present in that room.”
“I met Carla at the Athletes Speakers training, organized by the Portuguese Olympic Committee. I always thought public speaking was easy for me and that I conveyed my message the way I wanted to. However, working with Carla made me realize that many times our posture, our tone of voice, our gestures or even our eye contact conveys a different idea from the one we want to pass on when we communicate, and that was exactly what was happening to me. Being part of this training gave me the tools and confidence to communicate better. I realized that it does not matter how good we are at what we do, because if we do not know how to communicate clear and effectively, we will not be able to convince anyone.”
“I heard Carla Rocha’s voice on the Radio for years and I was a true fan of her. But I never thought that one day I would have the pleasure of meeting her in person and have the pleasure of taking one-to-one training in the field of communication. Whatever our job is, and even in our personal relationships, we can improve the way we convey our message. Keeping it simple and clear is an art. This art is not only mastered by Carla, but is also accessible through this book, with all its practical tips – it is a precious instrument of personal and professional improvement.”
“I changed 300% of the way I am, I am much more confident and I am now able to create positive experiences for the people I have professional meetings with.”
