It is refreshing and an eye opener on things I take for granted. For example, preparation is key. Practice and more practice. Even those viewed as experts also have nerves and anxiety but reframe to empower yourself. As one progresses through the course, it becomes obvious that the course content is a mixture of bit and pieces of material from other presentations. the presenters at times talk about the audience/students/ participants, etc. The flow is also not easy to work with.

The course was comprehensive, informative, and valuable. I learned a great deal of information I didn't know. My background is different and I was apprehensive about how I could use my current expertise with the new knowledge I am acquiring, the information gave me ideas on how to incorporate the two. Thank you. I appreciate the knowledge your team shared.

Second part was useless. Maybe few small tips from first half of the training I can take with me. This course is good for young beginners. Just want to remind, even it sounds great - follow these steps and you will be successful, real life is a little bit different. Be careful with jokes – you do not know your audience. I told a joke not knowing that in the morning of the training, one participant had a tragic event in his family. Audience is always busy with other things. You will never had enough time to prepare, especially if public speaking is not your primary task (CEOs, Managers). Be passion and explain why audience will benefit. Only two key success factors. Recording your session at home, at front of a mirror really helps.

Thank you, it was a great match, and all the resources are very helpful! Just a quick note, as immensely helpful as the resources are, they are in different file types and different formatting. Imagine how someone with OCD is taking the time to redo all, just for the sake of consistency :)

Doesnt load
By Helen R Williams on 11/22/2020
The content is ok, I find some of it helpful, however most of it I have already learned elsewhere. Some suggestions: the background does not look professional, there is too much of the Speaker speaking rather than mixing it up a bit by going between slides and Speakers or some other type of media in order to avoid having to constantly look at the Speakers. The Speakers themselves do not look as professional as I would think they should. They seem well versed, but the course in general seems more amateur than professional. It looks kind of dated, perhaps from the 1990's.
