I really can’t tell you how useful the course was for me…’life-altering’ is on the tip of my tongue. I did the dreaded presentation on Monday. The audience seemed to love it and I have already had three people come to tell me specifically how brilliant they thought it was.

I presented our year end results to our Board last week and tried to bring in some of the techniques used, and felt a lot more confident of the impact that I was having. I have various other investor meetings next week which will give me further opportunities to present.

Very focused, effective, one to one coaching. What particularly worked for me was the relaxed environment, small group and a lot of ‘air time’ for each person on the course. Very useful and some good tips for future presentations.

The trainers did an excellent job. They were proactive in seeking out exactly what each person was trying to obtain from the course.
