Huge thanks to Stephanie for leading our team through such engaging and informative sessions. Your energy was contagious and everyone said the time flew by. Most significantly, everyone seemed to learn something that they can use in their daily interactions and that was our goal. I also really appreciated you taking feedback midstream and adapting! We certainly have more work to do but this was a great step for us.

Being that I’ve been an IC for all of my career and that transitioning to a people manager role for the first time will be occurring in the near future, I would say that “all” modules of the program were very valuable.

Practice is great and necessary even though it is not always fun. There was a mix of methods used in the training: presentation/video/breakout group exercises.

I especially find valuable the element of dealing with people and effective communication tactics in this course. The most value I think is the instructor's teaching from experience, best practices, and advice, that's not detached from operating in the real world. Real world examples. Interactive exercises (breakout rooms). Content summaries (questions).
Logitech
It was good to refresh my knowledge of project management structure and tools. It was particularly helpful to review the Project Charter and it's value. It was also helpful to review the Control Loop and importance of the status updates. The mix of explanation and group discussions is a good one. It breaks the session, but due to that I also met some new people at Logitech :) And I liked that the session always started exactly on time (not even 1 minute late) and finished exactly on time too! Payson mentioned in the end of the training that waiting costs money, so he surely was practicing what he preached.

Barry was friendly and very engaging, I felt involved the whole time. I'm a huge passive voice user, so I appreciated the active voice practice. Thank you, Barry!
BMC Software
The content was great but the instructor made it stand out. I appreciated the tips on how to focus on the reader and how they view the document.
Parametrix
I highly recommend this course to anyone who does technical writing. Training was clear without being long-winded and Barry was engaging and fun. It was nice to have a refresher on new ideas to organize my writing and methods to prevent writers blocks.

Testimonials

This course exceeded my expectations. I didn’t think it would be helpful but it was actually super informative and fun. I really liked the facilitator Barry, the content was well organized, relevant and interactive. I definitely will apply what I learned to my writing.

All topics were great: active vs. passive voice; paper vs. press formats; headings/bullet points. That helps to make the communication effective and straight forward.
Juniper Networks
The whole program was beneficial. Some great ideas to write an email, grabbing the attention of the audience and being clear and concise. Cut the SCRAPE.

I highly recommend this course. I consider myself a great presenter but feel like I learned a lot. Any skill level can benefit from this day.
Saint Gobain
I enjoyed receiving very practical advice on practicing and dealing with hostile questions. Having the video to watch offers great advice, along with Peter’s coaching for where to improve.
Trip Advisor
I appreciated having the recording of myself to rewatch and learn what to adjust. I haven't had this formal training in years and my skills have drastically declined from peak.

Testimonials

Doing live practice exercises with video-taping and immediate feedback was uncomfortable but effective. Re-watching the video was an eye-opener. It pointed out which behavioral tendencies to work on - better eye contact and saying fewer “ums” and “ahhs.” Great class!
Samsung
Great interactive course blending skills, practice and feedback. I will use the MAP technique to focus on my presentation’s important key messages that I want to get across to the audience and will support it with few slides.
Samsung
Peter was great! He presented practical techniques that we practiced - The “Message Map” which gave us a structure for organizing the content of presentations and staying on track. “The Hook” tool created more effective “openings.” Will recommend to my colleagues.

Great course, I appreciated the strategies for navigating the hybrid working environment and how to promote increased individual and team engagement.
I think the subject matter is pertinent for all especially since hybrid working is becoming the norm in most office environments. It is easy to get lost in the hybrid working environment so I recommend this for everyone in our company.

Great training. I learned position, action, benefits model, and memory hook techniques.

I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated Peter Rosselli as our facilitator for the Presentation Training in California. We loved his pragmatic approach; his real-life experiences were attractive and helpful. Peter's agility and support time during a hectic situation over the 2nd-day training format was commendable and showed his passion as a facilitator and work ethic. He was a tremendous support, and I can't say enough about him.

My previous experience with Presentation Skills training was very general. Debbie provided us with clear, actionable items.

The ART model to defuse controversial observations and questions by acknowledging without arguing/disagreeing will be very helpful for me. I loved the impromptu exercise to tie two random topics together.
Inphi
Peter demonstrated positive ways to handle difficult questions and disagreements using the ART MODEL. Then we practiced responding to charged issues and how to stay in control.
