“Working with Nola Beldegreen was truly transformational. I am the co-founder of Burst, a video technology company… As one of the faces of the company I needed work on the new mission and how to tell our company’s “story” as well as my personal story. Nola has a very strategic, yet flexible approach to storytelling that allowed me to create my narrative in a way that felt very comfortable and empowering. This created positive results on both the investor and new business fronts.
Nola provided key insights into the technical and emotional process of getting the message across effectively and efficiently over video calls that I have since brought to others at my organization.
Nola taught me not only the tactics that helped me find my voice, but also brought her extensive business/consulting experience to our sessions.”

“Nola taught me to be calm, confident, and breathe easy during my talks. Her guidance to focus on the audience instead of oneself made a world of difference to my speaking abilities. I could see dramatic improvements in my public speaking abilities even after the first few sessions. Working in product and technology, it wasn’t sufficient that I merely tell stories; but that I tell them with impact, in a simplified manner, using examples when possible, and distill them down into their essence before presenting in front of an audience. Her various speaking techniques, including using mnemonics, came in handy in crafting longer presentations. Since my training, I have put to good use the lessons she taught me to speak in front of various types and sizes of audiences.
Nola is passionate about helping people achieve the best for themselves, and her calm disposition and reassuring smile was something to look to during my weekly sessions.”
