What people say after training with Blake.
“Building relationships with engaging and consistent feedback”
Noel · July 2025
“I use these everyday but I will be sure to use them more effectively”
Kim · July 2025
“As a 47 yr educator at Galveston Ball HS. I found your content relevant and a confirmation to my classroom practices. I teach Professional Communication, and coach the UIL speech & debate team. The relational capacity, and allowing my students to know my journey and the importance of them to start identifying their passion for a career, not simply a job choice. Most of my students are sophomores, juniors with a few seniors. Career prep, importance of being a competent communicator and listener in your chosen career and in your personal and civic life are some of the objectives of my professional journey. Lastly, I enjoyed our short chat.”
