Course testimonials

Jae said: Rob was great. Very entertaining, funny and kind with great ideas to improve my speech.
-
Alisha said: Rob was great. Really engaging and gave some useful tips and tricks.

Elizabeth said: Rob had a theatrical charisma that lent energy to the room and was a good model for the participants to gain more confidence in how they stand and speak. I liked the "template" particularly the mention of the "ice breaker" and "call to action." I found the course beneficial for me. I thought the course structure and delivery was solid and I liked the fair dinkum delivery without recourse to jargon.
-
Ivana said: Very informative, friendly atmosphere and practical advices. No time wasting, straight away preparing parts of the speech for your real life situation. Highly recommend!
-
Chris said: I enjoyed engaging with other students in our quest to be better presenters. To this end, Rob provided an effective and pleasant atmosphere to work in. Rob exchanged valuable insights and methods for me to work on. As you would be aware this course could be offered over a period of weeks to gain extra competency, and I would not hesitate to continue with Rob concerning this training, notwithstanding I strongly recommend this course in its current format. Nice work indeed ! Chris
