“I’ve been presenting for over twenty years and I still learned something from this class. Having constructive feedback from a large group of people really helps you understand that different people see (and hear) different things, and they all need to be catered to.”

“The Presentation Skills for Leaders class offered a combination of practical tactics and a supportive environment for practicing both prepared and spontaneous oral presentations. I walked away from the experience feeling a level of comfort with spontaneous presentations that I hadn’t anticipated, and a better understanding of the nuances of effective speaking techniques.”
