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.

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.

One of the most effective classes I have ever taken in my ten years at Juniper. I recommend this course to all my direct reports.
Juniper Networks
The recording and coaching format was very impactful. It helped me understand things I was doing that I was unaware of.
Synopsys
The whole program was very good. Structuring the message, attention to fillers, practicing the delivery and storyboards, was all great. This is for everyone in business.

The live behavior framework exercise and coaching feedback resulted in immediate improvement.
Illumio
Great training. I learned position, action, benefits model, and memory hook techniques.
Illumio
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.
Saint-Gobain
My previous experience with Presentation Skills training was very general. Debbie provided us with clear, actionable items.

This was my first time practicing in front of my peers and then watching myself on video. It was a great way to reflect and improve.

This course was very helpful for anyone in the corporate world who has to participate in multiple meetings; both client and internal facing. It was incredibly helpful, interactive, informational and applicable.

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.
