By Michael Cribb on 7/29/2026
This learning module was very helpful and gave me plenty of ideas on how to prepare for future presentations. I love the speaking techniques both speakers mentioned in the videos. I will use these same techniques going forward.
By Lee Savage on 7/28/2026
It's clear that the presenters know what they're talking about as far as the actual executive portion. Their knowledge is less so on the actual presenting portions. There are several things that would seriously help this course. Good visuals spaced throughout. Most of the time their visuals are bland and not particularly engaging. Audio quality. The audio quality varies wildly on the different courses, which suggests that they didn't actually listen to the course as a whole before posting it. Third, they give several very good suggestions, but then fail to follow them as they present. It seems odd that they can provide the information but don't actually use their presentation guidelines during their own course.

Yes. So far so good. Lots of good things to think about in terms of getting into the head space of an exec. Proper planning and positioning are key!
By Carlos Fukushima on 4/15/2026
Information and explanations are good and useful, but audio and recordings have a lot of room for improvement, especially different sections having different volume in audio.
By Aries Rodelio Cruz on 3/22/2026
It helped me communicate more clearly and focus on key insights and outcomes. I found the approach very practical and easy to apply in my presentations. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience.
By Gregory Juno on 12/5/2025
Content was great but the audio in the course is inconsistent, for a course on presentations, it does not match it's content.
By Tapaswini Nayak on 11/17/2025
This training is a must do for all specially ones with Client facing roles. It brings forth so many aspects that unless pointed out we would just miss . Great guidance. thank you

There was a section early on where slides were supposed to be shown and they weren't. Also, a mistake wasn't edited out so you have the mistake and the request for a retake right in the video. Another thing that was distracting is that the volumes on the videos were different, so I had to keep raising and lowering the sound.
By Amy Winston on 7/8/2025
This course gave practical examples and strategies to improve all areas of communication. There were many helpful tips about being a more cnfident presenter.
By Bridget Harrington on 6/22/2025
Good content. I would like more types of training past videos and the role play exercise for better retention. Sitting through multiple videos can be tedious and not as effective, but these speakers were engaging.
