Though I was listening on my earbuds and will watch later, I feel very satisfied with the conten and presentation style. I like everything about the presenter.

Well organized course, great tips with some really useful exercises to practise for yourself, and the way Alex explains is very clear! The time for each video is super balanced and each one transmits an important message. I took a lot of notes to practise for my next public speech for sure!

By Fuad Muftie on 2/2/2020

Although the lessons has been widely taught by other teachers, this course has added a number of important points in public speaking, which will increase my awareness when speaking in public.

By Nikki Thomas on 1/28/2020

This was a fantastic course!

By Faith A. Iyoha on 1/22/2020

it was very practical. highlighting the dos and don'ts. I gained a lot especially facial expression, gestures and using pause.

By Generalist Jake on 1/19/2020

Exactly what I had expected it to be. Very professional and helpful. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to him not showing any live presentation examples. That would bring it to a 5 stars for me, as that would go above my expectations and normal standards.
