This is my second course with TJ - absolutely adore his teaching style! I really enjoyed the advice on public speaking and giving media interviews. What I wish was included in the course is some tips on how to shape our campaign messages, how to know which message resonates, and maybe even crisis communication tools. Nevertheless, thank you so much for the valuable insight!

My main goal is to be able to speak in public confidently without my notes. I tend to always have things written down. You are giving me good ideas on how to organize my thoughts and stay focused on my message.

I recently completed the course, and I must say it has been an incredibly enriching experience for me. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the subject matter, covering key concepts in a clear and concise manner. The material was well-structured, making it easy to follow along and grasp the content effectively.

I am a trainer , I do not understand the Idea of all the information he is presenting. I need to know how to train effectively.

Some parts were a touch repetitive, but overall it serves as a good road map. The final section of all his reading material was an excellent way to end the course. Insightful for the nuances of the corporate and political atmosphere.

This was an excellent course, I completely recommend it to anybody who wants to become a public speaker, who wants to run for public office and needs to develop his speaking skills, and/or someone who wants to work in political campaigns.
By Jasraj Gire on 12/18/2018
This course doesn't seem so what I was looking for. The speaker is good but I was looking for something else when I enrolled for the course.
