  • Howard W.

    "Jami Dennis' presentation on how to tell a story was the best I have seen in many years and I have seen many good presentations."

  • Asha K.

    "Thank you for the confidence you and others [in the program] gave me! I can't express how happy I am for taking the course."

  • C.D.

    "Eva was great! She is a great speaker and her slides keep interest. In fact, I will definitely be using things I learned about presentations to make my slidedecks more useful."

  • Ellie D.

    "It really helped to know that the presenters themselves had to practice and grow into their roles as presenters. I feel like I'm not a natural and it made me connect immediately when they shared their experiences and were a little vulnerable."
