Testimonials

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at The Authentic You workshop by Tina D'Elia. Tina creates a relaxed and entertaining setting for people to boost their confidence and learn to communicate effectively. I learned many new creative approaches to improve my public speaking skills which are easily applicable to a number of situations. Her friendly and professional demeanor made me feel at ease and I greatly benefited from her sterling encouragement and feedback. I would highly recommend Tina D'Elia Consulting to friends and colleagues.

Tina D'Elia's workshop "The Authentic You" challenged me to speak in front of a group in a new way. I experienced speaking about my work from my heart and being grounded in my body, rather than being in a "presenting" mode, where I sometimes don't feel authentic. Tina's coaching is positive, encouraging and invites you to speak from a true and honest place. We learned that by doing this, our audience is more engaged, interested and the outcome is more successful. I would definitely recommend this workshop, especially if you are shy. Tina is kind and has the perfect balance of knowing when to push you past a comfort zone and when to hold back.

Tina’s passion and enthusiasm is contagious! I left our coaching sessions confident - ready to tackle public speaking, media interviews, and other performances. I put her simple and easy to learn techniques to the test during a recent interview and walked away glowing. I am often my own worst critique but after working with Tina, I now welcome new challenges and leaning opportunities with a smile. Thanks again!

Tina presence and compassionate speaks for themselves. I immediately felt a connection with in a room full of entrepreneurs during a business networking event. She is very approachable and she really listens to what you say. Her workshops are a fun way to mix up dull work weeks and practice improve speaking skills in front of a group of people that you don't know.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tina D'Elia as my Casting Assistant since December 2010. She is enthusiastic and hard working and enjoys working with actors, casting talent, and assisting with auditions. Tina possesses a positive personality, strong acting instincts, and has a natural ability to help actors feel supported in the auditioning process and encouraged. I would highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for casting support or coaching in their creative process.

I had the opportunity to co-facilitate several different workshops with Tina D'Elia. Tina wrote the content of her workshops and then led and presented her exercises. It goes without saying, Tina has a grasp on how to connect with people as well as help them be more self aware. Tina's background in acting and consulting really shine through when formulating her workshop content. Her connection to her audience is focused and interactive which lends a unique "twist" to her presentations. I found myself forgetting that I was in a workshop because her exercises were not only informative, but entertaining as well.I look forward to working with Tina again. Tina was an absolute delight to work with and her audience always has a lot to take away.

I cannot recommend Tina highly enough! She is exceptionally skilled, dedicated, insightful, warm, and supportive. I have known Tina since 2004 (when I began volunteering at CUAV) – she is a passionate community leader who truly works to bring out the best in people. More recently, I had the honor of working with her as a consultant. Her coaching and creative feedback were invaluable to our production company, and she was absolutely delightful to work with.

I first met Tina while working as a youth intern at Community United Against Violence. She was always extremely warm, available and encouraging. She took the interns seriously, which I appreciated on many levels, being new to the Bay. I remember Tina helping coach me for a queer youth spoken word audition on her lunch break, and many moments like this.Recently I was very lucky to win a free 20-minute telephone coaching with Tina. I was impressed by how over a decade later, in 20 minutes, she could offer great advice that spoke to the heart of my concerns as a teacher. Tina's excellent listening skills helped me clarify what changes I wanted to make in how I structure my class. While this doesn't fall exactly under performance training, I think that one of Tina's strengths is to see situations holistically. Her questions about the small details of what happens when I enter the classroom were very helpful to me in thinking about how I want to improve how I structure my class.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Tina Delia via telephone, and I must say her listening skills are admirable! Being a newbie in front of the camera, Tina gracefully offered plenty of tips, and best practices to help me be at my best on camera. Her sincere encouragement, and attention to detail is priceless. Do yourself a favor, and allow Tina to help you achieve your wildest dreams, you will not be disappointed!

She has a unique way of bringing out moments and helping me see possibilities of how a new moment can happen. She is easy to work with and instinctively knows how to help you become even better. She especially helped me with on camera technique and put me at ease. It was amazing to see the results! I highly recommend hiring Tina D’Elia Consulting.

When I hired Tina D'Elia to help me get ready for a video shoot I was about to do, I was so nervous. I am new to being on camera. Tina was so calm, and gave great direction without making me feel even more nervous. She was calm and walked me through each part of my script. Tina has since coached me on a variety of videos I have put up online. I recommend Tina for anybody that is looking for coaching for any video work yourself and your business on camera. The best money I have ever spent.
