“Last week I had the honor of hosting Toyinda L. Smith, for a Women@Seattle event: Coaching Your 4 V's - Vantage, Voice, Visibility, and Vigor. It was a pleasure to work with you and we are all better off with your wisdom as a part of our world. It is a dream to get to bring powerful women to speak to powerful women! Thank you for being you!”

“I really enjoyed the Coaching Your 4V’s session at Amazon today. Toyinda, thanks for making time to speak to us. I will be using some of the strategies you shared on vantage, voice, visibility and vigor.”

“Living my values is incredibly important to me, but it’s easy to deviate from this by focusing on the urgent over the important. Toyinda’s session broke down how to live my values in an easily digestible and engaging way, incorporating the latest research insights. I came away with concrete actions I could immediately take and a stronger belief in my own potential to make an impact.”

“I highly recommend Toyinda. Being an introvert, networking can be intimidating. Toyinda gives you tools to approach networking with a mindset that will help you grow and launch your networking game to the next level. You will feel energized, and have a game plan to implement right away.”

"Toyinda is the truth! She's my Mentor & Coach who holds me accountable to completing projects and ensuring I do the work. She has supported my hard work in completing my first book and continues to push me out of my comfort zone. Working with Toy has affording me numerous opportunities as a certified Champion Influence® Coach, and the results she helps me produce occur faster and continuously with excellence."

“Toyinda is such an engaging speaker, and provided tangible, actionable steps we can take to increase our visibility and effectiveness as leaders. This was time well spent.”

“Toyinda is a clever and inventive presenter. She piloted the development and facilitation of a custom designed workshop for our employees at Fifth Third Bank. Toyinda guided me through a keen and discerning pre-planning meeting to understand the needs of our bankers before she designed the curriculum for the workshop entitled “Emotional Intelligence for the Banking Industry.” Her process was a calculated consideration of our needs, and it was evident by the positive outcome of the workshop. She uses theories, statistics, visual examples and engaging activities that assist us with identifying personal triggers, and understand how to personally use emotional intelligence to create successful outcomes in our banking roles.”

“I enjoyed participating in Creating Champion Conversations because the Champion Influence Model was very specific, provided great examples that were easy to follow, and included additional resources, books, etc,. that were instrumental in advancing my knowledge and expertise as a speaker. My mentor provided great feedback and accountability. I have gained confidence, clarity, and comfort in being able to share my message in a amore meaningful way.”

"After attending the Champion Influence®️ Creating Champion Conversations Course cohort, I now know what it takes to prepare, create and deliver a lively presentation, speech, or interview for a position with confidence. Learning that public speaking involves intricate pieces such as (PASSION about your topic, Due Diligence, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE) will allow you to deliver a performance that will engage your audience."
