"I thought that the course was fantastic. It was engaging, worthwhile and highly valuable. It was clever the way that the training was structured such that all the different techniques that were getting taught were demonstrated throughout the day. I found this to be one of the best presenting courses that I have done to date."  Lynette, Astra Zeneca

"I've never learnt so much in one day thanks to Michael and his brilliance! The whole day was probably, well without out a doubt actually, the best training workshop I have ever been to, especially because there were so many new skills that I could apply immediately.

After the session I had to prepare for a Master Class the next day. It had already been prepared, but after the day of training it was clear that I needed to make it much more creative than it was! So I had a very productive flight home – I spent the whole 5 hours reviewing the master class and building in the skills we were taught."  Carol, IAG

I just wanted to re-iterate how absolutely inspired I am after attending the workshop today. It terms of the content and subject matter expertise, it is THE BEST presentation skills session I have ever had. I have always tried to emulate, rather than be myself and find my own connection with the audience. The hints, tips and tools you have given us will certainly open that door.

I thought I was a kitten, but now realise I had not even been born!!! I am sure even our lions realised they may have only been king in their own back yards....."  Mary, IAG

"My feedback is that it's the most enjoyable & valuable/useful course I've ever been on. I have already implemented many of his teachings and look forward to more humane presentations from my colleagues."

"Michael is a fantastic presenter and coach and really knows his stuff. Great observations on how things usually go in these training sessions. Amazing how accurate he was."

"For my future presentations, I'll really keep in mind on how I can alleviate the suffering of my audience. Sometimes it's not just about fulfilling your duties; it's about actually reaching your objectives by thinking about beforehand how you can relay the information across to the audience. Boring them with minor details will only make them reach the crash of their attention wave sooner!"

"I absolutely enjoyed the day - was heaps of fun and lots of laughs. There were a lot of good take outs from the session which I will be able to use in any future presentations such as room settings, visuals, music etc. I liked how the environment was so relaxed and we weren't forced to present, and had so much input. It felt easy to participate as we were all having fun and learning."

"The workshop was great! Awesome ideas and very creative. Couldn't have asked for a better day. The session was great and Michael presented very well. We all thoroughly enjoyed the session."

"Great ideas to keep the audience entertained and not bored - changing states and playing music at the right times, encouraging group discussions, time for movement during presentation if it works, no set out timings for each subject and NO POWERPOINT SLIDES!"

"It has definitely opened my mind to actually think about the people listening to me while I present, instead of just worrying about delivering all the content of my speech. I will be more aware of how the crowd is acting and feeling."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the session, by far one of the most engaging and useful work "training" sessions I have ever attended. I was able to use some of the techniques already for a brainstorming session I led this week, and also planning for a couple of other meetings which I can definitely apply the learnings from this course."
