WORKING WITH ME
I’m grateful to the individuals and organizations I’ve had the chance to collaborate with — across cultures, contexts, and stages of growth.
From one-to-one sessions to group settings and custom-designed programs, I value the trust and openness that make these experiences so rewarding — and always welcome new partnerships.
Below are reflections from some of those I’ve had the privilege of working with.
“Bonnie rhymes with efficiency and energy. Her expertise goes far beyond communication skills - her workshops are engaging and challenging, grounded in the realities professionals face today. Bonnie is both patient and straightforward, striking the right balance between theory and practical exercises. Participants leave with a concrete, reusable toolbox they can apply in future.
Our ongoing collaboration with Bonnie has been consistently smooth, insightful, and impactful. She’s a trusted partner in designing programs that truly deliver for our participants.”
Maëlle Deffrenne, Professional Trainings Manager, Series Mania Institute
“Working with Bonnie means embarking on a transformative journey; what we’ve worked on together goes beyond refining my communication style, and instead truly helped me uncover the core of what I want to convey to the world and the kind of leader I aspire to be. Her guidance is deeply insightful and has profoundly shaped my professional presence and personal vision.”
Alexandra Gschwind, Public Affairs, Google
“Bonnie’s strength lies in her ability to tailor her coaching to each team, making the process both personal and impactful. She works with our pitching teams not only on crafting strong content, but also on delivering it with presence and authenticity. Her support has helped both emerging and experienced filmmakers connect with their audience more confidently. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Bonnie over the years, during which dozens of teams and projects have benefited from her coaching..”

Matt Carter, Director/Creative Director/Writer
“Working with Bonnie has been transformational for my self-awareness, confidence and skills to influence and engage others for impact in my role. What makes Bonnie’s process so valuable is that it’s not about external tweaks for short term gain, but about internal shifts for long term impact and ultimately job and life satisfaction.”

“It was such a pleasure working with Bonnie. She helped me redefine my positioning, the way I wanted to be perceived in my organisation and in my growth journey.

Olivia Gifford, Producer Blue Iris Films
“I cannot thank Bonnie enough for her help and guidance. She has a directness, a care and a personal touch that immediately puts you at ease. The points that she makes are focused, insightful and important. Bonnie is very much a “people person,” and understands the swings of confidence and fear when it comes to public speaking. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future.”
Paul Draper, Writer and Filmmaker
“One rarely comes across a coach that truly challenges you as Bonnie does. I was able to come out of my comfort zone and presentation style and work on a new way of storytelling. Bonnie made sure to challenge me and my abilities to come up with new ways of thinking. She earns my highest recommendation.”
Bruce Grimes, Senior Key Account Manager, Oracle
“Our feedback is 100% positive! Bonnie's engagement with us was so encouraging and helpful. We now know how to balance our individual voices to come across as a team, and how essential it is to communicate our passion for the project.
That was definitely an eye-opener for us and extremely useful advice. Working with Bonnie gave us a lot more confidence and scope. Definitely an experience we would recommend!”
Jess Romagnoli & Patrick Ireland, Writers/Creators

An inspiring person who I would definitely love to work with again.”
