Love this course. Desmond is a very good teacher I will take more class with him. I really like when he talk about story telling and getting the audience attention.

Each class is perfectly connected to the entire material, everything flows and you never feel lost or wonder where, how or what is being said its’ important and of use to your purpose, goal or the main subject. By the end of this course you would have learn something and easily remember the main points as they clearly stand out in a logical and well put manner. The instructor simply puts knowledge at work when he speaks throughout each class. Every skill he teaches is performed by himself with each class and section. He is not telling others what to do and doesn’t practice it himself. He has created a method that works and gives results to him as well as the ones who would like to replicate his formula.

In general the course was good. All the essential info was given + some nice stories and links where to find stories. What i was missing was the teachers own real life experiences. His worst and best moments in his career and how he learned from them. Thank would have been interesting as well.

Desmond Byram is great at creating symbols with his energy, at shaping ideas and giving it to the people. Two years after I took his first course, with all the honesty I can say, that today I still remember and memorised the Spark Words Method...! So easy and fun to remember! With this course and the Spark Words method, you will never look speeches the same way again... Don't just focus on technical aspects, voice tone etc Because this is what the instructor points out every time, about the "Speech-versations" (Speeches-Conversations) and you becoming the message...! Today at the business world, Public Speaking and Storytelling are essential skills for young people and this course will get them on the right track...

some really good ideas and skills for improving public speaking and presenting. However, for someone that frequently points out the need to keep things tight, short, simple it sometimes waffles on a bit.

Are you young and taking your first steps on the career ladder? Are you concerned about the impact you're making on your professional environment? Are you proactive and hard-working with limited time on your hands? This course is for you! In just under three hours Desmond teaches you the secrets of Public Speaking! Not only does he divulge what makes a great speech, but he also reveals what makes a perfect speaker, and actively encourages you to become one throughout! The course is formatted in a dynamic manner and thus would appeal to anyone, no matter how short your attention span might be. The variety of videos, written information and practical exercises, keeps you engaged and motivated! Des demonstrates the power of storytelling through the educational stories and fables he relates! The most important aspect of this course for me is that what Desmond teaches about Public Speaking - the power to inspire, the courage to step up, the motivation to go on and on and on until you're at your very best – once mastered and applied, will not only make you a skillful speaker, but a better professional and a confident person – willing to take on any new challenge!

The contents and concepts were very well designed and i would love to recommend this course to friends and colleagues. The only thing that this course was lacking is about the body language skills. For a public speaker it is necessary.
By Jacky Croos on 6/17/2015
Great explanation on how to communicate with the content that can make an impact, and inspire! I bought this book, few years ago to give presentation front of class, now I'm listening to this audio again to give work presentation tell a story about our company products to clients!
By Timothy James Kennaway on 6/2/2015
Your stories and anecdotes were very good in emphasizing the theme of every lecture. Thanks for sharing your 3 essential ingredients to a good speech, that is" good stories", seasoned with "passion" and properly prepared (through "practice") I also enjoyed seeing you put your creative speaking tips into practice in your demonstration video. A course worth doing, thanks!
