I have to admit that I had some anxiety coming in that day, having done other media training where I know the pressure of having to perform and evaluating one’s own mistakes in front of everyone. So, you met all my expectations! But you also blew them away, as it was definitely an intensive and productive morning – the best I’ve ever experienced. I learned lots – we all laughed and cried lots too (wasn’t sure I was expecting that!). I feel more ready than ever to get out there now – I told Mathieu today that I just want to get on it, and go and use these newfound skills and tools to promote our message and get our story out. While it was an exhausting session (didn’t help I hadn’t slept the night before thanks to Air Canada), it was also an exhilarating one.
The morning was much more than I anticipated – you guys are the best!

I would like to thank you for this amazing session! Honestly, this is the first time I have had such a pragmatic and constructive training in such a short time where I can see progress almost instantly. I did practice it on my way back yesterday as I was presenting to my whole division: Hands were better, eye contact better but still need to slow down and pause… breathing did help as well as jumping in the restrooms before😊 Awkward, hopefully no one came in!
I really enjoyed the whole morning and looking forward to reading your book Jeff

I felt so much at ease and so much natural while addressing which i always wanted. The course really gave me great insights. Thank you."

I wanted to thank you for the great coaching session a few weeks back! My presentation and media interviews in Saudi Arabia went very well. I also took part in a “surprise” press conference (that I wasn’t aware of), but it turned out to be a highlight of the trip.

"I have just completed the Communicating with Confidence course, and it is unbelievable! I always speak too fast and making a presentation is my nightmare because although I prepare amazing content, when it comes to communicating it to an audience, I am simply terrible at it. I am already feeling much more confident and accomplished! A big thank you from a marketing professional who speaks English as a second language."

Thank you for great course. This just a brief message to express my great appreciation of your great course on communicating with confidence (on linked in learning). It was an eye opener for me and helped me already a great deal in my line of work (and also in my personal life).

I thought you might be interested that I had the opportunity to act as MC for an internal group conference last week with two thousand colleagues in the audience. It felt amazing and I received tons of positive feedback.
I just thought I should let you know that our work has had a really positive impact on my career. While I was appropriately nervous before the show I was able to use some of the tips and tactics I learned from you to do a really solid job. Thank you!
