Marianne and David provided a bit of both worlds, different styles, both very engaging. The small group allowed great individualised attention. I was impressed with how they handled the impact of an accent on  presentation; respectfully, practically and effectively. For me, the information on how to structure what I want to say was invaluable, it will really help me deliver complex subject matter to a critical audience. Fun format - I recommend Spruikit to help you shape up your presentation!

David and Marianne teach the essentials of presenting in a friendly, clear and thorough manner. The day starts with some interesting theory on presenting and moves into small practical exercises that are simple and effective in getting you to overcome your weaknesses and emphasize your strengths. Anyone who does this course will come away with a much better understanding of how to present effectively and more importantly confidence in their ability to present.

Excellent, experienced facilitators communicated their knowledge well. I learnt lots. Today I gave a radio interview and for the first time ever, was not nervous. This was a direct result of the presentation skills workshop. I actually looked forward to the interview applying the skills I learnt to be more effective.

The presenters were knowledgeable, experienced, engaging and worked as a team. This contributed to gaining the most from the training.

Techniques to improve the way we sound was something new for me to explore. I think the reinforcement of good practice is an important take away for me. Also the tips on how to relax or loosen up are thing I will try. I enjoyed the session as it was. More practice is always good as daunting as it is. I would certainly be interested in trying to develop this area further.

Presenters are extremely knowledgeable and easily to follow. Both are easy to talk to without feeling you were talked at. I found the sessions covered everything I wanted.

I liked experiencing manners again and learning how to make an entrance with posture, walking and confidence and how to speak with confidence and not mumble. I would recommend this course to my friends.

I liked how you taught us how to walk confidently in the first class. It has given me more confidence and has given me a more positive attitude. I also really liked the public speaking class as I needed to develop my public speaking skills. It has been really enjoyable, I have learnt so much!

I liked the make-up tutorial, tips on public speaking, how to dress well, common etiquette, posture - really helpful. There is nothing I would change about the course and I would definitely recommend the course to friends.

I liked learning about how to apply make-up correctly and in a way to suit your face shape, social etiquette and dining etiquette - interesting - learnt things I didn't know. Also how to dress for your shape! There is nothing I would change about the course, I enjoyed learning about everything. I learnt a lot from it and I think anyone could benefit from it. Thank you for all your advice/help!
