All I can say is WOW!!!!! Kerstin is a top of the line coach for non verbal communication and presentation techniques. She will make you a rock star both for your professional stage and personal stage. I have known and worked with Kerstin for years, and every single time I see her I learn something new that I can fold into my process and habits easily and immediately and get results. Kerstin truly invests in those she works with, and never gives up on you or your goal until you've exceeded it.

I want to give a shout out to Kerstin O’Shields! I gave a short presentation today and when I was giving it I realized I felt comfortable, confident and stood in my own authority and power. Kerstin ROCKS as a presentation coach and I cannot say enough about her. Check it out.

Kerstin was the emcee for Inspired Wisely Award Ceremony.  She kept the event moving with humour, grace and professionalism.  She connected with me as a presenter, prior to the event which I really appreciated to ensure she introduced my organization as I wanted.  I would highly recommend Kerstin as an emcee for your event!

Julie Fry

National Director and Chief Mom Officer at Business Among Moms (BAM)
I have always been comfortable speaking in front of groups. Whether on stage with my band, giving a sermon at church, or acting in a play, I've never felt uneasy. But I have had a feeling that I could be better, especially in a professional setting. After attending Kerstin's class and seeing the before  and after videos of my presentation I felt much more comfortable and confident in speaking in a professional setting.

Dan Danielson

Kerstin is an absolute professional at what she does. I love her enthusiasm and her love of speaking clearly shines through when she is up on stage. I have watched her come to events that her students are performing in and video, take pics and provide amazing feedback. I have even watched her be seriously emotional as her students shine on stage. If you are looking to understand body language or to learn how to BE on stage, Kerstin is definitely your gal.

Jennifer Mager

Direct sales expert and coach
I first met Kerstin at a state Women's Council of Realtors meeting. I signed up for her coaching and was so impressed with how she helped and guided me. She is knowledgeable and compassionate when she is working with her clients. Since then she has gone on to establish an Academy where she is now teaching others how to do the Body Language Strategy work she does.
