Participant Feedback

“Great session with Martin. Really helpful tips, particularly in relation to attendee engagement and audience participation.”

“Martin gave a training session on presenting with impact virtually yesterday and I found it extremely helpful and learnt a lot more than I was expecting. I would definitely recommend attending this session if you would like to improve your virtual presentation style.”

“As usual with Martin’s sessions, he really makes ideas and points very clear. The opportunity to practice really instills confidence in being able to use the suggestions straight away in real life presentation situations. Always grateful for all his tips and ability to keep the session engaging. The 1.5 hours flew away (as he said at the beginning of the session). Thank you, Martin”
