What Clients Say
Eduardo, you are truly a phenom.
Huge thanks to you and your extraordinary team, for supporting, leading, and inspiring VISION INTO POWER. I am deeply grateful for your partnership.
—Kerry Washington
Actor, Producer, and Activist
We invited Eduardo Placer to host a hands-on pitching workshop for a group of 25 professionals from all industries.
He immediately put the group at ease, getting them laughing and on their feet within the first five minutes. Eduardo helped members of the group to articulate what they do clearly, and I witnessed people become more confident in their pitching skills in 45 minutes. Every piece of feedback from participants was positive – Eduardo is a true talent, and I would highly recommend hiring him for a workshop at your business!
—Mandy Menaker
Executive Director,
Shapr Connectors Club
Our law firm’s Women’s Leadership Forum invited Eduardo Placer to deliver a talk on public speaking, and we were delighted with his presentation from start to finish.
Eduardo is an engaging, creative, funny, energetic, genuine, unassuming but confident speaker who drew our audience of business professionals into his world, encouraged their proactive participation, and held their attention throughout. He shared some valuable insights and thought-provoking strategies for managing and conquering the common fear of speaking to a crowd. Our guests loved the program, and so did we!

Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith and Davis LLP
Eduardo Placer is a tremendous asset to the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce New York (NGLCCNY).
Within moments of taking the stage, Eduardo captivates his audience in a fun, endearing and engaging manner. His methods quickly taught our members, many of whom are entrepreneurs, the importance and benefits of bringing one’s true self when speaking publicly, whether in a one on one elevator pitch or on stage in front of hundreds. Eduardo is a wonderful asset to our Chamber and the LGBT community at large.
—Robert Finkelstein
Executive Committee,
Supplier Diversity Chair, National Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
I’ve now brought Eduardo to do several workshops with my teams, and every time I’m amazed at how he helps each individual connect —even if only for a moment—with something deeper inside him/herself.
I use that ‘moment’ to create a common language of courage in coaching my team with their business interactions. It’s not usual to see finance and accounting folks experience a spark of fearlessness, but Eduardo finds a unique way with each person.
—Jared Susco

Thank you Eduardo Placer for doing such a great job!
You made everyone feel so comfortable and gave them the confidence to push past their individual comfort zones and learn different ways to communicate with each other. It was such a great experience, we hope to have you back sometime soon!”
