He's trained an ABC of leaders,
including some fast starters,
the small, nimble and entrepreneurial;
and the bigger end of town.
This is what they've said:
I look forward to standing up and speaking to people. The bigger the crowd the more enthusiastic I am, as it takes as long to speak to five people as it does to 500. But now I give 496 more joy with my speaking, me included!
His experience, confidence, and empathy convinced me not to have to stand up and speak to my team. I now realise I GET TO, which makes us all better and our days together far more fun!
I won the best-conference-speaker award as soon as I did what I'd learned. I've let go of bombarding delegates with information and now zone in on what I want them to feel. If everyone in science could speak this way, I'm sure there'd be lots more funding available! Make this training mandatory for PhD degrees!
Not only what I learned but how I learned it! It's practical and applicable - more than any training course I've done before. I loved it because it was specific to my role and fixed some serious misconceptions I had about my presentation style. I'm now grabbing every opportunity to speak, even in front of the top bosses. I don't even care that I speak with an accent because I now use it to hold attention.
I actually enjoyed getting up on stage to deliver my keynote. It's changed my frame of mind from worrying about my delivery to getting energised about leaving the audience wanting more.
