I feel I have a lot of experience and expertise in my field, and I want to teach what I know to others. But, I really suck at the public speaking. I don't get nervous; I just don't know what I'm doing. This course has already given me ways to improve. I'm course correcting.
By umukoro ovie george on 7/22/2025
After listening to the speaker, he presents the course from known to unknown, which makes it simpler to understand. In addition to that, I now know that your presentation doesn't necessarily need to have a lot of bullet points to attract an audience but rather needs to entail what your audience needs, wants and remembers.

Since watching your video, I have noticed people reading their PowerPoint and I do hate it. I tend not to listen and read ahead. I do recommend this class to presenters, so you don't make the mistake he mentions in the classes.
By Jan Dostál on 12/14/2023
I rehearse on video, I speak to people, not hiding any more. I had some mindset shifts. Maximum 5 ideas, no bulletpoints. no reading of notes. Use opportunity to speak to people
By Shariq Ghani on 12/7/2023
Absolutely a good match. Learning so much from such detailed aspects of gaining confidence to making presentations meaningful. Thanks TJ for this great learning experience you have put together.
By Michael Baker on 7/17/2023
I watched all the cources and thought it was very good. It did become a bit repetitive but It's the main 5 points that get remembered correct. Anyways Thanks for shareing your time and knowledge.

I have really enjoyed this course. It has really driven home what I need and given me a different point of view for my monthly and weekly meetings for my company. I have found and have practiced a few times, at this moment, but I will be doing more as it will only ADD value to my job life. Thank you for your genuine care for overcoming this fear. P.S. I have also had a run in with a gun....I'll tell you about it sometime. Rachel

Sessions were informative but way too many of them to take as a requirement. Also, after watching so many, the movement between old and new videos was annoying. Maybe make a business speaking course completely seperate from all the other everyday things- funerals, weddings, etc. The business speaking course should be offered separate in Udemy.
By Fiona Yeo on 6/17/2020
offers practical key points and I like it that TJ reminds and reminds again to practice. While it covers a very broad base, some sections are nice to know ...
