Presentation Skills and Public Speaking Training Testimonials

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 have certainly developed more confidence in my ability to speak in public, and to convey my message.

In one day, David Thomas and Marianne Van Dorslar at Spruikit transformed my skills and confidence in presentation. Some of the best and most supportive training I've had.

I learnt to make my presentations flow a bit better, I learnt to minimise my presentations so as to allow the people I'm speaking to take more in and remember more. Honestly, I wouldnt change anything. I absolutely loved it and got so much out of it.

The presenters were very easy and clear to understand and offered good constructive advice which I will certainly take on board. Thanks for the course, it was a benefical day.

I loved this day! The facilitators were very professional, positive and constructive. They gave encouraging and useful feedback to all participants. Even though it was a very busy schedule, they did a great job in running to time, and most importantly, while still maintaining a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. I also liked the manual - not so jam-packed that you would never bother reading it. It was well set out, containing only the most pertinent information and I am sure I will refer to it regularly. Thank you David and Marianne for a most productive P.D.
