Here's what past participants say:
Great class --very helpful with personal and professional development for shy speakers, or anyone with public speaking issues. Looking forward to the next series.
I really enjoyed the class. The instructor was very knowledgeable regarding the subject matter and seemed to really enjoy sharing his knowledge. It was a good environment to learn in.
that was very comfortable and effective.
The class was excellent in that it presented a realistic approach to public speaking that was learnable and achievable in a short amount time. I enjoyed the class and the instructor, and found the ideas covered quite useful.
Most effective technique: how the instructor got each of us to stand up in front of a room full of people, and speak, with or without our realizing that it was happening.
The teacher used a variety of effective techniques to promote learning in the class including group work, useful handouts, discussion, and lectures that held my attention. The single most effective technique used was creating an environment where every student felt comfortable, which promoted participation and fostered a vested interest in learning the material.
