"Patricia Stark is one in a million.  I have worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years as a model, TV host, book author, judge and public speaker.  I was up for a big job this year and my hosting skills were rusty.  Patricia gave me the skills that I needed to improve my on-camera techniques and taught me things I did not know I needed.  Her considerate, kindhearted manner and desire to see her students succeed also gave me the courage and confidence to successfully report on the 2011 Academy Awards fashions for ABC". - Roshumba Williams

Not only is she a great television host, she's a fantastic teacher, and also a communications expert, so her knowledge base exceeds that of any normal coach.

“Your individual work with our speakers has helped all and a couple immensely. One speaker especially has had a huge and measurable increase in his performance contributed directly to your work. You truly helped him get to the next level. Always nice to "measure" performance results, let alone subjective results. Many positive comments from the key note you gave, and many asking for a DVD copy of such.”
-Kim Crowther, VP, Previews- Investools Inc.
