Myla DeLoatch, CSP

Trainer. Workshop Leader. Speaker. Coach.

Myla and I met at one of the National Speakers Association conventions and, after that, she asked me to help her with her Certified Speaking Professional application. I’m so glad that our relationship continued after she received her CSP. Working with her on her CSP, I immediately discovered that she’s SO smart and intuitive when it comes to working with clients who are looking for a training program for their employees. Most of the speakers I work with identify as keynoters, but Myla is my trainer. I worked closely with her as she developed an intensive training program for a major architectural manufacturing company and I was impressed by her creativity and her passion for training. Having seen other trainers in the past, I enjoy seeing how she approaches the process of creating and implementing her training programs. Her expertise is in sales, customer service, communication and professional image training and I’m glad that I get the benefit of her training by fallout! She’s as comfortable working in the hospitality industry as she is working with governmental agencies and heavy equipment. It’s because she knows her topics and her talent so completely that she can create training programs for, well, anyone!

What People are Saying

Myla is a leader in teaching leadership!

I attended her “Leadership and Management for Non-Managers and Aspiring Supervisors” in March of 2016. The course was very interactive with other in-class students which made it fun while you were learning. I learned a lot about myself as well as my interactions with others. As I have refined my leadership skills with the completion of this course, I know I will be an even better leader at any organization whether in a leadership position or not.

Myla is super knowledgeable in the field of Leadership and will go out of her way to answer any question not in the course agenda. I highly recommend a course in leadership with her.

I attended a training course on [selling] that Myla taught. Myla was organized and very energetic through the two-day course. She answered questions with anecdotes from her own experience, or other relevant experiences in order to drive points home. She made the class fun by maintaining a balanced level of theory and group activities. What I liked the most was that she attempted to connect with every person in the class on a personal level which helped everyone get comfortable quickly, and share their own experiences/ concerns regarding selling.
