Student Testimonials
Thank you for delivering this awesome presentation skills session in class.
I am responsible for national commercial operations for a global Medtech company and I had to deliver a "commitment journey & recovery improvement plan" to the commercial executive leadership. For years, I used to have a fear of public speaking and this gradually went away but I always have some sort of anxiety before a presentation delivery. It impacts the clarity of the message and people see and feel this.
For the first time in my entire career, I felt confident to do some storytelling to kick off my presentation following the steps you coached us. In addition, as per your instruction, professor, I thought extensively about the audience & the graphics of the content.
I stood up in the front of the room with zero fear of getting my message across. As you taught us, it's all about the MINDSET! When I was done, I got a lot of positive feedback and many of my coworkers noticed the change in how I had approached my presentation delivery. What an amazing presentation skills coach you are! And this is just the beginning
