"I found the entire experience to be very positive. Both Tony and Olivia were extremely knowleagble, and they presented all aspects of the course with honesty and good humour. I was encouraged (in a very positive way) to confront assumptions I had made about my own knowledge and style. All in all it was an extremely valuable two days, and I would not hesitate to recommend the course to friends and colleagues in the future."
Michelle Hayne, Marketing Manager, GN ReSound (NZ) Ltd - August 2009
"Fantastic course with great presenters. Although very nervous on day one, the presenters made you feel very comfortable. What I learned will be invaluable - it really makes you stop and think about the way you do things and how we think. I did not expect the course to be as interactive and was pleased that it was as it made it very easy to try out the things you were learning."
Debbie Carr, Practical Experience Advisor, New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants

"Excellent
practical course that pushes you out of the Comfort Zone into the
Learning Zone to harness and draw on hidden skills and abilities. Would
definitely recommend"
Sarah Missen - Business Relationship Manager, FlyBuys - July 2007
"Good written material and excellent opportunities to put theory into
practice. A nice balance of all the components of a good presentation.
An even and non-confrontational forum to learn how to give a good
presentation."
Phil Clark - Product Manager, AXA - July 2007
"I liked the structured approach to building a presentation...and the
one-to-one feedback which was delivered in a sensitive and constructive
way. As a teacher I thought I knew a lot about how to present to a
group but this has refined my practice both for presenting to students
and adults. All teachers, particularly those in leadership roles,
should go through training like this."
Suzie Vesper - ICT Facilitator - July 2007
"Good coverage of relevant aspects - interaction with group is beneficial for overcoming inhibitions."
Jayden van Horik - Environmental Risk Advisor, ERMA - July 2007
"The small course structure worked very well for me"
Roland Daysh - Manager Corporate Monitoring Unit, Ministry of Fisheries - July 2007
"I
really enjoyed the pace of the course and the mix of talking
and practical work. I felt completely engaged for the full two
days. The course provided useful tools that can immediately be
put into practice and good feedback about specific changes I
can make/strategies to use to improve my presentation skills.
The use of music and humour really helped keep the energy
flowing."
Angela Cassidy, Allen & Clarke Policy and Regulatory
Specialists
"The
course has really given me confidence around presenting by
providing easy to use structures to prepare the presentation
and helped me understand what’s important in delivering the
presentation. It has provided me with practical strategies to
combat my nervousness."
Melanie Lambert, Product Development Specialist, KiwiBank
"Very
powerful course – a good mix of technical theory and
pactical tips on actually delivering presentations. The
presentation coaching was especially powerful."
William Middleton, General manager, Works Business Unit, Porirua City
Council
"Course
was better than I could have dreamed. Two presenters/trainers
definitely helped. Both have different but complementary
styles. Course size was just right."
Anne Palmer, Regional Manager, Datacom Engineering Services
"The
course has taken the complexity out of designing and
developing presentations. I have gained many tips and
techniques to deliver my presentation with relevant content,
structure and confidence. Thank you!"
Sharon Beech, Business Analyst, ACC

well-planned. Great flow."
Planning Manager, Regional Prisons Development Project,
