What Participants Say

Exceptional Presentations

3045 participants rated this program and left feedback. Here's what they said.

The instructor was the trainer for our Executive Presentation Skills session during the MDP program, and his impact was exceptional. His facilitation skills are truly world-class. I not only learned from the structured and insightful content, but also from his ability to read the audience, adapt on the spot, and bring concepts to life through countless relevant examples. His attentiveness to each participant and the passion he brings to his craft are remarkable, and rare. It was one of the most effective and inspiring training sessions I?ve attended.

Yanick R.Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

Having completed lots of courses, even recently, in business and communications I initially hoped that I was aware of, and utilizing the skills that would be presented. I was wrong, and in the most fantastic way! The EPIC format was incredibly simple, and flexible enough to incorporate all of my learnings. The presenters of the course were incredibly knowledgeable but also very approachable and provided constructive and useful feedback. It was also a lot of fun to experience the growth with my coworkers.

Ashley C.Civeo Corporation

I had an absolute blast with this course! The presenters were fun, informative, and so encouraging. They created a safe space to present and really be vulnerable with our peers. I appreciated the wisdom and examples they shared about their own personal experiences. I could not have dreamed of better facilitators than the instructors B. They are most certainly a dynamic duo! The content taught was topical and I can see how it can be applied to my every day life, not just giving presentations!

Hevin W.Midland States Bank

The instructors delivered an outstanding service to the command when they came to visit us last week. In my 29 years of serving in the Air Force, the presentation style that I saw has been the most effective that I've seen as it came in a series of continuouos perform-feedback loops that built on the previous cycles and fed on other students performances also. I can't wait to see another one of these type courses coming from Baker! Again, Kudos and thank you very much.

Raymundo S.US TRANSCOM

I found this class to be incredibly valuable. It provided practical strategies for engaging an audience, structuring content effectively, and using visuals to enhance key messages. The interactive elements allowed me to practice in real-time and receive constructive feedback. I left feeling more confident in my presentation skills and equipped with tools to captivate any audience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their public speaking!

Brooke R.Primoris Service Corporation

A lot of our meetings are fast paced with a lot of information. With the instructors's guidance, I learned how the importance or slowing down, repetition, and annunciation. There isn't a lot of value in running through a presentation fast (to save time) if no one understands you or get's anything out of it. I think the biggest take away I had was the idea that presenting is not about how comfortable you are but how comfrtable your audience feels.

Johannah C.Safran USA

It was a great session and a lot of materials covered. I know there was conversation on the course being a lot for the one day, for me personally this was a good timeframe for the number of attendees. We had 6 people who attended all day, I personally thought this was a good number and balance between course participation and presentation. If the course participants were higher, might have impacted on the course experience.

Rachel R.Cirrus Logic Inc.

I have had several course on different topics during my career but this is the best so far. There was material I can actual use. Many times these type of courses introduce a template that does not or cannot be changed for technical audience but I did not feel this way about this course. The instructor was very good and natural with the material and was able to apply/adapt it to the technical audience that he was teaching.

Steve T.Cirrus Logic Inc.

The instructor was amazing! She was very calm and composed throughout every module which would naturally calm my presentation nerves. Her feedback after every training presentation was thorough and honest in the politest way that I would find myself wanting the instructor's feedback because it's not common to find someone that can provide valueable, honest feedback. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this training.

Valeria L.NCCI

The instructors did an amazing job over the two days we got to spend with them. They were able to engage the class the entire time. Being able to see the feedback on the video and getting one-on-one feedback from them as well was a big asset as well. You can tell how passionate they are about the material as it shows in how they conduct the class. Really enjoyed myself and would recommend this session to anyone!

Nathan W.Richardson International

The exercises were excellent and reinforced practical skills learned. The exercises would not have been as productive if the trainer had not provided opportunities for every presentation to be reviewed or given feedback. This process make the information stick better and made the class more enjoyable. It also made you have to think quick on your feet to create a short presentation without much forewarning.

Lynnelle M.NCCI

I absolutely loved this class and honestly think it is by far the best I have ever taken. I went into in dreading it and was hooked in the first hour. After I left I was so pumped :) I thought the facilitators did a wonderful job working with each other but also with the group I was in. They made it fun and relaxing which is awesome considering how nervous and tense we were when we walked in.

Michelle P.Midland States Bank

This course was fantastic! The course material was presented using positivity, motivational language, and developmental guidance. I felt every suggestion or comment that was made directly to me was for my personal benefit and absolutely helped me strengthen my presentation skills. I feel invigorated and excited about using all the new strategies I learned in my future presentations.

Sarah A.Midland States Bank

The instructor was a wonderful facilitator. Beyond her impressive credentials, she created an environment where participants were safe to receive coaching and continue striving toward improvement. I was terrified at the idea of reviewing my recordings, but by the end, found myself committed to the practice so that my progress may continue. Thank you, the instructor!

Abby S.Symetra Financial Corporation

The skills you learn can be adopted by anyone to be a more effective communicator. The instructor kept us engage the whole time, a testament to his own skills. I looked forward to our daily sessions throughout the weeklong training. The pace was perfect. You learn in bite-sized chunks and able to practice what you learned before moving onto the next step.

Michelle B.Travelport

A very well presented course that kept my focus throughout the day, the instructor was great at pacing the sessions and engaging with everyone. I definitely feel that the feedback provided and the tools explored have helped me to improve my presentation skills already and also equipped me to continue working on aspects of presenting going forward.

James K.TGS

The instructors did a phenomenal job keeping the class on topic and truly guiding us to be better public speakers. The class "drills" we were given were fantastic. It was very advantageous to have the video clips of ourselves throughout the course. Bravo to these two professionals! I'd gladly take another course with them in the future.

Jenny J.Giant Food, Inc.

Public Speaking is nerve-racking. No matter how you do it. The instructors presented and conducted the class in a way to take that nervous energy and use it for benefit. While I'm still a long way to go to meet the skills they exhibited, I do feel that my confidence has increased in comparison to before I took the training.

Megan P.Safran USA

This was my cecond time covering the content and it added great value to refresh the content in my mind. The instructor helped fine tune the skills and processed used to cement the content in the for front of my mind. Being mindful of how small physical things make a hug difference to those receieving your content.

Chris J.Transocean Deepwater Drilling Inc

This course exceeded my expectations and was very insightful. I feel much better prepared to create, practice and deliver a good presentation, I'm almost looking forward to my next one. The instructor was a wonderful host who made us all feel welcome. I would highly recommend this course to my colleagues.

Matthew W.TGS

This has been the most impactful presentations training course I have taken. The instructor's delivery of the content has been exceptional. These past two days have been engaging, and the instructor has challenged us all to grow. His delivery of feedback is supportive, respectful and effective.

Jimmie S.Transocean Deepwater Drilling Inc

The class was informative and engaging. I loved the structure of learning, understanding, the practicing. The learning became very iterative and I felt like I got better every time I tried. If I could afford personal coaching in this course and others from Baker, I would happily attend them.

Ron D.EDP Renewables North America LLC

The instructor was extremely prepared and helpful. His personality and approachfulness put the entire class at ease, which was key to getting us comfortable to learn the material and present in front of one another. His explanation and examples of the content were extremely helpful.

Nathaniel P.Transocean Deepwater Drilling Inc

The stepwise format where we were able to prep and practice each presentation skill/concept live during the session to get immediate feedback works very well. The consistent presenting and recording during each session helped us to quickly improve over the course of just a week.

Lindsay R.Zeiss Research Microscopy Solutions

The class really caught me by surprise, in a good way. It shows me that no matter what you can always improve that there are things you can do to cater to all groups. I did walk in skeptical but walked away a firm believer in this and would recommend this to anyone I work with.

Edgar V.LP Building Products

The class provides a clear structure for an engaging presentation. The repetitive pattern allows the presenter to really get the point across. The instructor who hosted the session really encouraged individual development and improvement with great personal advice / feedback.

matthew R.Cirrus Logic Inc.

The class really helped me overcome my presentation jitters when I realized if I just follow the structure everything would flow better and the presentation would be much better. I still need to work on it and refine my presentations but I now have the tools to be prepared.

Kyle B.Primoris Service Corporation

The class was great and I appreciate the structured approach to delivering presentations. I appreciate the video recordings and being able to improve in such a short time. I was using the techniques taught to me the same day and it improved audience reception dramatically.

Bryan M.Cirrus Logic Inc.

This was such a great course. The instructor did such a great job leading, she had such a great presence and was able to convey all the concepts with such ease. The instructor?s feedback on the videos was constructive and he delivered it in such a kind but direct way.

Erin M.Richardson International

The instructor was super helpful and enthusiastic. If I could suggest one potential change- day one can be very tiring for us on the course as we have heavy travels to arrive the night before. The first day of the course was spent entirely sat down in the same seat.

Aaron P.Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

The instructor support us on a way that everyone feels confident to get out from his confort zone. A lot of key take aways and inspirations for the future. INCREDIBLE non verbal demonstration that gave me an eager to reproduce and use further on my daily life.

Yanis B.Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

I have nothing but good things to say about the instructor's training. The training went smooth, we slowly added more on to the presentation starting with the EPIC opening, body, and closing. I will continue to use this presentation structure moving forward.

Michael T.Protective Life Insurance Company

Overall very good training, a lot of dynamism from the presenters. Good physical preparation, interesting model for the core presentation, maybe more time needed to assess alternate models depending on the situation/cultural background of potential audience.

GUILLAUME O.Safran USA

In the morning of course I was a Nervous-Nellie, but in just one afternoon the instructor helped me calm my nerves, and craft my presentations with more authority, confidence and skill. I look forward to learning more and continue fine-tuning what I learned.

Jennifer F.Diebold

I usually dont really like presenting or these types of sessions, but the instructor was the most dynamic facilitator ive ever had. He is engaging and kept my interest better than any other instructor Ive had. He is truly gifted at this and helped me a lot.

Dany O.Richardson International

Overall the training was great! If I had a critique, it would be that by the end of the second day of training, the instructors seemed to lose the enthusiasm they brought to the table when the course started - but I'll chalk that down to just being tired.

Seejo S.Hughes Network Systems

An extremely helpfull training session, the use of filming each presentation was useful in realising what was being taught. The instructor, our trainer, had a way of keeping our attention all day and passing on personal hints and tips to all of the group.

Freya M.Wood Group

Because this class takes you out of your comfort zone and exposes a layer of vulnerability, it truly helps you to see some progress quickly. The class is also very focused on helping each person reach his/her potential, so there are never any comparisons.

Sarah H.Midland States Bank

Excellent workshop! I learned so much and left feeling more confidant. I had to give a presentation two days after the presentation but I think it went exceptionally well - thanks to the skills I learned in this workshop. The presenters were outstanding.

Ashley G.UTMB- Galveston

It was a great workshop and experience overall, I enjoyed the instructors? styles and the activities. Would recommend avoiding references to ?fig leaf? and ?cupping? in regards to covering the respective genders? anatomies; make the pt w/out those words.

Erika C.Alameda CTC

"the instructor was memorable for a variety of reasons. Number one is he was cuturally sensative to Kaiser context and cultural reality. He emphasizes the natural essence of ourselves to become effective speakers including: "surfing the auidence reality"

Jason G.Kaiser Permanente

An excellent program overall. My only criticism is about what I am tempted to describe as an ?infomercial approach? during the introduction and conclusion sections. I tend to prefer a dryer, more direct approach which I feel is still perfectly effective.

Jacques P.Huntsman

BCI's presentation training is excellent. I've been giving presentations for years and this training program helped me step up my skills to the next level! The trainers provided excellent feedback and the opportunity to put what you learned into action.

Tracey W.Greystone Communities LLC

The instructor was a terrific teacher! Learned so many things I can put immediately into practice for my Board presentations. I have a level of comfort developing and delivering presentations that I did not have prior to this training. HIghly recommend!

Donna J.MARTA

The instructor was well spoken, pleasant to engage in conversation, had answers or suggestions for all questions or scenarios that were brought up. You could tell she's heard it all and she's a wealth of knowledge on the subject of making presentations.

Derrick D.Val-Tex

The instructor was an exceptional facilitator. The course materials were well organized and the simulation exercises were great. The two day session is highly recommended for those who desire to increase their ability to give Exceptional Presentations.

Jason B.NFL Players Association

The instructor was very personable, made the class FUN from the very beginning. She had great visuals throughout the training and did a fantastic job of keeping the class engaged. The feedback coach gave great advice and together they made a good team.

Stephinie G.Primoris Service Corporation

I was able to visually see how I improved throughout the class from the video clips taken during each exercise. This was very helpful, as I could watch them later to see what I can further improve on after the class, and how I can apply what I learned.

Sheena M.Ethos Energy

There was an amazing transformation taking place in our class. Grown men who could barely put two sentences together, were now using hand motions and staring their audience in the eyes. I still can't belief the amount of progress in less than two days.

Brian L.Exterran

Enjoyed the course and really thought that the instructors amped up the event and brought great energy and value to the session. I was able to get a first hand glimpse into my presentation gaps and was well coached toward filling in the needed skills.

Dave H.CB&I (Chicago Bridge & Iron)

I was skeptical that this might be a "cheesy" sales presentation class, but it was anything but that. The instructor had our attention from the moment he started and never lost it. The information he presented was helpful, logical and yet challenging.

Brian T.Voyage Financial

I loved this workshop with the instructor. As a former teacher, I thought I knew how to convey ideas to an audience perfectly. In a very supoprtive environment, the instructor masterfully helped me to see how to make my presentations truly exeptional.

Sandhya R.NFL Players Association

This program was really a game-changer for me in terms of my presentation skills. The instructors presented the content in a way that made it really stick. I am really excited to start implementing some of these skills learned in the very near future!

Matthew K.Midland States Bank

Class was excellent, I avoid presentations at every chance I get. The instructors were able to help get me from nervous laughing, voice cracking and looking to escape to being able to present with composure. This was the best class that I have taken.

Kimberly K.Demand Media

This was a really fun and engagin course, with an emphasis on getting up and speaking as quickly as possible, and iterating the presentation as new concepts are introduced. By the end I was surprised to be able to present my entire talk off script!

Scott S.EFP, Inc.

I was probably the most nervous person in the room today in my class due to not having any experience in public speaking and though I feel at the end of day two i was able to pull away so much information i can use to continue to practice and grow.

Katie W.Midland States Bank

The hands-on nature of this training was very effective in allowing us to discover more about how we present ourselves and implement what we learnt on the spot. The trainer was also very engaging and sincere in his sharing. I felt great at the end!

Yan K.OneSubsea

Making me do the same presentation repeatedly with progressively more complicated instruction and watch it on film really helped show me what I had problems with. It gave me a more confident outlook on how I come across and subsequently how I feel.

Lindsey W.OneSubsea

The instructor's expertise and superb motivational style were very evident throughout the whole training. He displayed humor and calm assuredness, even during unplanned distractions. He kept up the pace, making sure we addressed all the key areas.

Richard S.Consumer Reports

Exceptional Presentations is the best soft skills training course I have taken in my career. The Instrucors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The course is challenging but if you allow yourself to step up to the occassion you will reap benefits.

Allison Z.Total E&P Canada Ltd.

I find the course to be excellent. I was intimidated by being stopped every two words for corrections. I'm sure it was designed that way for a purpose but i feel the same result could be attained in a more pleasant fashion. Again, I learned a lot.

Dan B. — Noble Corporation

This class was extremely helpful in practicing presentations. The instructor's immediate feedback of each taped presentation, gave me a chance to make an improvement to my style during the next presentation and again make adjustments as necessary.

Dorothy S. — NCCI

All of our shareholders and an additional group of frequent presenters spent two days with the trainers from Baker. It was an EXCELLENT experience! Although it can be a long investment, I have no doubt that this will increase our pursuit hit rate.

Kevin S. — WIELAND

The instructors presented information in thorough and informative manner which translated into massive results. All participants public speaking and confort drammatically improved every exercise due to critical feedback, and effective instruction.

John N. — Alameda CTC

I feel much more comfortable formatting a speech and getting up in front of an audience after being in class with the instructors. I never realized how much I needed to work on my nonverbal delivery and now I've added those things to my skillset!

Emily W. — Midland States Bank

I got a great insight to developing a presention and techniques of delivering it. I now understand why i need to know my audience, I want to tell them "What I want to tell them", I want tp "Tell them" and I want to "Tell them what I've told them"

Babawale A. — Baker Hughes

I learned a lot in this class. I had trouble with public speaking and presentations but after this class I am more comfortable with presentations. I learned many different skills that will make me a better presenter. I will recommend this course.

Glynn B. — Noble Corporation

Genuinely, this was the best training I have ever received at work! The instructors were very helpful and kind. The course content was fantastic and truly teaches you how to present better. Every individual in our session improved over the 2 days

Coleton B. — Richardson International

This class was well instructed and extremely beneficial. I began presenting last for my opening and by the end of the class my confidence increased where I volunteered to present first for the closing. I think that says a lot about my experience!

Allison K. — Medidata

Exceptional Presentations as such a great course, this was one of the best courses I have taken so far. There was so much to take away, we got to apply all the tools the instructors were providing us with right then and there with live feedback.

Jasmeen K. — Richardson International

1. This was my first time taking a class covering this topic. It was very educational and eye opening. There was definitely good material and objectives covered. I hope to be able to incorporate this into my growth as an individual and employee.

Wendy V. — EFP, Inc.

At the dawning of a new initiative to expand our training offerings to our customers, I sought for a seminar to train our field personnel in how to be effective presenters. The results of this seminar have been all that I had hoped for and more.

Wes S. — Tire Pros

My first Baker Training 11 years ago was new to me and it helped me to be a better presenter moving forward. Now with virtual presentations, i have a lot more to take with me now as there are things i would have never considered with the method.

Eddie D. — Master Builders Solutions

The instructor did an excellent job in presenting and teaching this class, I have never had presentation training and the layout structure to get prepared for my next presentation will definitely follow this format. Overall Great Job all around.

Mike B. — Gates Corporation

I have been to many Communication courses throughout my career (a 6 week program at University of Calgary, a 5 day course at Mount Royal College and mulitiple trainings sessions). By far the best training for presentations I have every received

Linda L. — Total E&P Canada Ltd.

One of the best professional training courses I've ever attended. I've found skills which will help me be much better at what I do, presentations used to make me nervous. I now have the tools to deliver them with impact and without the nerves!

Paul C. — Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

This class was not at all what I had expected. I had expected powerpoints and the works. While getting me out of my comfort zone, this class was fun and had a work environment condusive to learning (with helpful critiques) rather than judging.

Ellen R. — NASA

I went through an emotional cycle over the two day course. I was not comfortable at all knowing the only purpose of the class was to receive constructive criticism. But, the instructors coached and helped make the environment more comfortable.

Bryan A. — ThyssenKrupp

The instructors (Joseph & the instructor) made you feel comfortable, provided key insight to the material and tools, knew how to be engaging and have fun! I learned that with some basic understanding my presentations can go from good to great!

Tad F. — Safran USA

At first I was not looking forward to giving presentations. I was really out of my comfort zone but I truly believe this helps you grow. I really enjoyed this class and enjoyed hearing others speeches. I also learned a lot about other plants!

Olivia B. — Gardner Denver

The instructor s are wonderful facilitators with so many helpful tips. This course really pushed me out of my comfort zone and they had so many tools and insight that have given me confidence in giving exceptional presentations going forward.

Kristen A. — LiquidPower Specialty Products Inc.

The class was exceptional. The presenters the instructors made the class enjoyable and I learned a lot of takeaways. Their feedback was well received and appreciated. I feel more confident in bein able to present a more structured resentatio.

Dawn J. — NCCI

I hate public speaking and if my boss hadn't signed me up I wouldn't have gone. But now that I've been through the course, I'm glad did it. It won't make you a great presenter in two days, but it will give you things to build upon and change.

Heather B. — ThyssenKrupp

The class did a good job dividing it into chunks. We spent two whole class periods devoted to developing a good presentation opener. I really liked that we didn't build an ENTIRE presentation, but we built an opener, closer, and 1 main point.

Kayla A. — LiquidPower Specialty Products Inc.

This course is a growth experience. It opens your options for improvement and development as a better person and professional. The instructors managed the course with excellency, allowing us to feel confident in incredible exposing sessions.

Steven T. — Total E&P Canada Ltd.

It was a great class. I know I will be a better speaker and be able to prep for presentations so I will have the confidence to teach the audience what needs to be taught. The instructors were great and energetic. I really enjoyed this class.

Laura U. — Southern Company

The instructor as a moderator is impeccable. Truly entertaining, witty, and bright. He kept us engaged, alert, and on our toes as you never know when you might be called upon. I would highly recommend his Exceptional Presentations training.

Charmine P. — Phillips 66

the fellows that presented their material were very well prepared and catered each input to the class to be as effective and useful as possible. please provide better audio/visual feedback next time. Maybe a dedicated webcam and microphone.

Clint T. — Amkor Technology

I started out with a very timid stance and voice.In the Exceptional Presentations activities, I got feedback on the correct level of projection for my voice. I'm confident my improved projection will greatly improve my future presentations.

Cristina W. — Honeywell International

This is one of the best presentation skills classes that I've attended. I think the hands on and videos were key. You can listen all day long to someone, but to get up and put into practice what you've been taught adds a whole new element.

Michele M. — Granite Properties

I found the course to be highly effective at improving my ability to give a presentation. The activites developed my skills at speaking to an audience and creating an engaging and effective presentation. I definitely recommend this course.

Joshua F. — OneSubsea

The content of the presentation was very good, and I liked how the presenter asked each of us questions tp keep us engaged. I had issues with my microphone displaying as muted when it wasn?t, and the quality of the sound was poor at times.

Robert D. — ALS Global

It is a very good training with very effective tools. I belive that it lacks of more post training tools to keep you more engage and commited to improve. Also, the material used, specially audio visual equipmet is not of the right quality.

Ivan P. — ThyssenKrupp

As discussed during the course this is the first time I have had the opportunity to attend a course on presentations and it was a great experience. The instructor is an exceptional presenter and a wonderful person to have spent time with.

Roderick M. — NOV

I have been doing presentations for years, but knew I was not hitting the mark. This sessions helped me understand the right approach to creating the interaction with the audience and the proper approach to the creation of a presentation

Roy B. — Epson America, Inc.

The instructors were Awesome! I really enjoyed the two days spent with them despite the nervousness of having to speak in front of a group. This is likely the most valuable workshop of any that are available. Thank you for your guidance!

Stacie L. — Richardson International

This training is probably one of the best I have ever had. As I often have to present, I have always tried to find the best method without really knowing how to do it. Now I know the exact structure, it's up to me to put it into practice

Yalcin K. — Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

The instructor was a pheonomenal motivator and coach in this class. Really enjoyed it and I know that the two precious days spent by the entire team was a good use of their time. Many thanks to the instructors. Really enjoyed the class.

Katia K. — SummerHill Homes

The instructor was an excellent presenter and did a great job mixing up the content and ensuring everyone participated and stayed involved. It can be tough doing a class like this online as but she did an excellent job with the content.

Chad G. — Master Builders Solutions

An excellent program. It's not a sink or swim program, even though it feels somewhat that way. The only way to get better at presenting is ? presenting! So you present and learn. And it's a shared learning through suffering experience.

Lee H. — Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam

I quickly learned about being uncomfortable in order to become comfortable! It was a great class with an admirable instructor. I recommend that if the chance is given, seize the opportunity and take this class! You will not regret it!

Shawn T. — Baker Hughes

I've been giving presentations for the better part of 40 years, but this course brought to light a number of ways in which I can improve my organization, delivery and audience engagement, especially in the age of virtual presentation.

William M. — Master Builders Solutions

This course is the most valuable one I have taken during my business career. The content and the simulation sessions reinforce not only your presentations skills but also general communications skills. I HIGHLY recommend this course.

John F. — Hughes Network Systems

The workshop was very hands on and had us practicing automatically which was a bit nerve racking but helpful since you could put into practice what you are being taught. The group did a great job giving us the participants feedback.

Vanessa S. — Gardner Denver

The instructor was engaging and absolutely spot-on in demonstrating, through her own actions, the value of great presentation techniques. Her positive reinforcement kept the group excited and engaged for the entirety of the session.

Ricky M. — NFL Players Association

This two day course was exceptionally high value in terms of the amount of time I invested and what I was able to learn. The instructors were fantastic and demonstrated exceptional knowledge and ability to impart that to the class.

Saphina B. — Total E&P Canada Ltd.

I really enjoyed seeing myself present and being able to adjust on the fly as we went through the class. The instructors were very professional, and presented the information in an easy to learn way which made implementing it easy.

Wesley D. — Dell Inc

The instructor is an incredible facilitator. He was engaging, enthusiastic, and extremely supportive. It was also impressive to witness his ability to integrate the language and mission of the work we do into the examples he used.

Nyaka N. — NFL Players Association

I think the course is very valuable to all people who will need to speak in front of a group of people. It gives the speaker awareness of their and audience actions and the instructor did a great job. Very supportive in his role.

Harvey C. — Baker Hughes

I went from hiding in class, dreading the moment my name was called upon to present to wanting to stand up and work on my presentation skills. The instructor created a very un-intimidating friendly environment for me to learn in.

Varun S. — Hughes Network Systems

This is a course I would have never in a million years signed up for. After taking the course, I am very thankful for the opportunity to have done so. This has allowed me to be vulnerable and grow. Thank you for this opportunity!

Chris S. — Primoris Service Corporation

This was a great program! I am a new employee, so it was very helpful to meet new people and the information provided by the speaker was truly helpful in learning how to effectively present a speaker and set them up for success.

Nina R. — Northwest Public Power Association

The instructor and Devon were amazing communicators and instructiors. They pushed me to my comfort zone limits and helped me grow in just a short time. This course is great for anyone looking to be a more effective communicator.

Jonathan L. — PAC

very good training ! there is one thing i didnt appreciate which is the fact i had to pick a Presentation "topic" within the first 20 minutes w/o realizing this was the base of the rest of my trainings. I picked a hard topic :-)

Ewald N. — Amkor Technology

What makes the instructor great is his ability to teach, energize, and motivate a group to want to learn. His experience and expertise allow him to be effective with groups having diversity in skills, styles, and personalities.

Tae P. — Bar-S Foods Co.

I noticed significant improvement throughout the 2 days of the course. Most notably, my pace and confidence got tremendously better. It's incredible to see the strides that, not only I made, but others in the class did as well.

Nolan B. — Primoris Service Corporation

The format of the class was great. It was small which made the hands on portion more personal. I also liked the progressive development through the different parts of the class. Extrememly helpfull during the learning process.

Wade W. — Merrick Machine

Although the class was very uncomfortable for me because I have a fear of public speaking, the activities and feedback made me feel a bit more comfortable and the course provided useful tips to become a more effective speaker.

Angelina L. — Alameda CTC

This course was excellent and provided me with much needed tools to succeed in giving a presentation. I appreciate all of the insight from the instructors and will be able to take this information forth in my daily activities.

Kristie T. — Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam

The instructor demonstrated outstanding qualities of a presenter and lead the class towards that same goal. Each student was provided personal instruction in a nonthreatening environment. Videos is a plus in this instruction.

Alfred T. — Faurecia

Being able to practice the skills we were being taught during the class was really helpful. This class was great at giving helpful feedback and making me feel comfortable presenting, which is something I normally dread doing.

Megan E. — NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center

There wasn't a place for general feedback, so I figured I'd leave it here. I really love the quick reference guide. Too often, we get huge books or guides that contain great information, but are too cumbersome to be useful.

Sarah H. — Midland States Bank

I am terrible at organizing my thoughts. I want to make exceptional points and have trouble nailing down the right order or flow. This course has helped me outline my thoughts so that I can get my point across effectively.

Erica T. — Williamson Dickie Mfg. Co.

The instructor was amazing in demonstrating the skills! She helped us understand and learn the essentials needed for the effective presentation. We were given opportunity to practice and feedback for the things to improve!

Shantanu N. — Cirrus Logic Inc.

Being a new trainer, it was extremely beneficial for me to learn from the instructor. It was great to see how both myself and the others benefitted from the presentation even though we all have different experience levels.

Holly G. — Intuitive Surgical , Inc.

This was my second year taking this class, and by the end of the second day it was amazing how much both my comfort level and confidence had grown. I'm excited about all the areas I can apply what I learned in this course.

Craig M. — MTD Products

I was very happy with the private lesson speaking course that i had with the instructor. It was very informative and i would highly recommend it to anyone in business that needs to communicate with people more effectivly.

charlie c. — CosensMMA LLC

The instructors are professionals in every way. They taught us how to present by example at every moment of our time together. Their individual and combined insight provided me with self-awareness previously undiscovered.

Shari F. — Hughes Network Systems

I really enjoyed the program a lot. I didn't think the instructor was going to touch on anxiety and public speaking, but he did it without mentioning the work anxiety. That made me almost forget about it and just present.

Maulies P. — NFL Players Association

I considered myself a good presenter but after this program, I feel I will be a completely different type of presenter, it will take practice but I can see so many improvements that will take my skills from good to great

The instructor brings a lot of enthusiasm to this course and makes the content really interesting. This class is extremely valuable in that it offers a lot of feedback on the different aspects of our presentation skills.

What I liked most about the course is that we directly put in practice everything that was taught. And we received constant personalized feedback, which allows each participant to be aware of its weaknesses and improve.

They make you face your fears in a supportive environment by acknowledging the stress and building capacity. I feel like I'm armed with the secret formula for success and simply need to practice (a lot and frequently).

This course was the best training course I have ever taken. The structure and the content were perfect. The exposure and the practice at public speaking/presentation skills was invaluable and was exactly what I needed.

Anna T. — Cameron

I register for this training not really knowing what to expect. I know I?m good speaker, but presenting in front of people has always been nerve racking. This training was challenging, but incredible at the same time.

Peyavali H. — EDP Renewables North America LLC

I loved the fast pace of the course. Moving quickly between skills that built upon the previous one helped the material along naturally and made it instantly obvious that students were improving their speaking skills.

John M. — DCP Midstream

I had an uncertainty of what to expect coming to this course but after attending I am quite happy I attended. The presenters were fantastic they taugh me skils that will be extremely useful for conducting my business.

Richard B. — JV Driver Projects, Inc.

This class is a classic case of hurts so good! Much needed learning for myself and was hard for me to pick up...With the help of the instructor and the energy of the room i could feel myself getting better and better.

Danial W. — Primoris Service Corporation

The instructor changed my life forever. His specific feedback coupled with his polished style delivered a life lesson I won't forget. I hope my future presentations live up to the system and mannerisms he introduced.

John D. — Amkor Technology

Great course, teacher, and material!!! I learned a lot about the mistakes I was making while presenting, and I took away numerous techniques from the course that I will practice and implement for future presenations.

Asad R. — OneSubsea

Not your average presentation skills workshop - the combination of a unique presenting framework and a training format centered around multiple, repeated practice presentations greatly improved my ability to present.

What an amazing course!! The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making me a better presenter! I will take any class that she is facilitating. Hands down, the best course I have taken in 10 years.

Keeley B. — Noble Corporation

This course was well worth this investment. I was taught presentation techniques that will help me become a more effective in developing presentations and speaking. I would definitely encourage to take this course.

Charles M. — MARTA

I do tons of technical presentations for internal and external clients, and this is the very first time I realize how important projection, structure and gestures are to be able to deliver expectional presentations

Alejandro A. — TGS

Great class. Would recommend notifying students of the need for a topic prior to arrival at class. Having to come up with a topic on that short notice, arrival at class, was the most stressful part of the process.

George R. — USMC

Very high quality course. It was interesting watching the meta-presentation unfold. The instructors were very professional and had a lot of experience. They were also very positive and encouraging the whole time.

Bryan W. — Quantlab Financial

Really enjoyed how interactive it was, and the fact that we were given feedback throughout each stage. Seeing the final results compared to how we started was so eye-opening and really helps you see the progress.

Irina B. — Haver Analytics

Great course! But I would try to discuss training topics only with all participants in the room and not when participants are getting reviewed in separate room. I rather add 30 min than miss anything being said.

Linda B. — SBM Offshore USA inc

This class brought structure to my presentations and taught me how to capture the attention of the audience from the beginning. I gained confidence and practiced giving presentations much more than ever before.

Stefanie S. — University of California at Merced

Aitor G. — Ferrovial Construction US Corp

Very useful for me and I really liked sharing and learning with my colleagues. My only suggestion would be that when asking attendees to create workbook steps that they not be able to us e "pre-created" ppts.

Nancy S. — Accuray

This course is very well designed, but it would work best for a public speech. Given the nature of our regular presentation, we will need to modify the very helpful skills we learned to best match our needs.

Mozhdeh N. — TGS

I?m really hard on in house training but felt this training was exceptional with Baker Communications. I think the second day should be longer because by then participants are getting the hang of things. Ms.

Crystal S. — USDA

The course tutor the instructor was brilliant. She was patient with everyone and led the course impecably. I was apprehensive before the course, but she managed everyone with compassion and humour. Brilliant

Very well done! The presenters definately know their stuff and share many great tools usable immediately. Will recommend the class to people interested in developing their presentation/communication style.

Jennifer B. — Honeywell International

It was a great class. I would've liked more time to prepare for each speech. I'd make it a two day class where you can take what you learned from day and present after you've practiced at home a few times.

Jarrod C. — Protective Life Insurance Company

In this prequel to the 2 day presentation course we'll be taking in a few months, we got a good introduction to what we'll cover. I believe I'll get more out of the full course because of this first step.

Lynne R. — MVP Healthcare

I think it's challenging to conduct a one-hour virtual sessión on Effective Presentations, and the instructor was able to give us useful content in a dynamic manner, in a very short time. Thank you, bci.

Tomy D. — ALS Global

This was a great training and I, again, enjoyed Marks advise and way he lead the workshop. Only criticism is that I'd made it 30min longer each day to allow for more practice and presentation. Thank you!

Honorata R. — TGS

Practice makes better, how important is not only to prepare your presentation and information BUT to practice OUT LOUD. Flowing your ideas from your mind to your mouth helps to accommodate your thoughts.

Lilia C. — Safran USA

"Exception Presentations" was the best class I have taken to learn about improving presentation skills. The repetive nature and cumulative approach of building skills reinforced the content really well.

Jim F. — Encore, A Quintiles Company

The instructor and Sara were great! I can definitely saw the difference in my presenting skills from the first video and saw how presenting is a useful skill to "sell" whatever it is you are presenting

Very good content and delivery. Very high pressure environment especially on the 2nd day. Could have used additional time to reherse the full Monte befor taping to ease anxiety and improve confidence.

Terry M. — Easter Seals Michigan

Instructors were great. I would prep attendees more on what content they want to use throughout the training. By not having a solid topic, the effectiveness of the "hands-on" learning was diminished.

Very informative class. Effective teaching driven by well-versed, enthusiastic instructors who were able to push people out of their comfort zones and teach them how to become better public speakers.

Matt F. — Kia Motors America

the workshop was very informative and gave me a lot of important skills, which I was able to practice during the session. The most impressive was the videotaping and review it with the instructor.

Great course, helped improve some presentation skills. I do think there should be more emphasis tailored to technical informal presentations as these are mostly the types of presentations we give.

Scott D. — Nexen USA

I learned a lot during this course, appreciated the humor the instructors provided which helped make the environment fun and comfortable, and have since been more aware of my presentation skills.

For an activity that is very uncomfortable for most, the structure reviewed alongside the mentor's direction provided invaluable tools to assist and take my presenting skills to the next level.
