“Stand-out. Stuart came highly recommended to me by two separate individuals, and they were sure he would prove to be stand out in his work. They were right. My issue related to public speaking and specifically the fear that came with it. He gave me a batch of great tools to work with and some much needed inspiration. He was able to draw on personal experience and visualization techniques that spoke to me. I was able to use these tools effectively and managed to pull it off! Thank you Stuart!” — EMILY WHEELER
