“I completed a speech class in college and considered myself a pretty ‘experienced’ speaker, however, taking your class revealed how much more I could learn. Your video techniques were especially helpful in addressing the bad habits I’ve picked up over the years.”

Rich S

 

“Your recent class on public speaking was one of the most valuable, useful, and beneficial I’ve taken recently. Personally, I now feel more confident and comfortable speaking to any group, large or small. Your advice and direction concerning voice inflection, hand gestures, and speech delivery has proven invaluable.”

Karl F

 

“I especially liked the positive feedback from you after each presentation as we reviewed our videotaped performance. Seeing myself on videotape helped build my confidence. Knowing that I did not look as nervous as I felt was a powerful tool for me.”

Pam B

 

“The way you structured the feedback was very positive and constructive. When you have the videotape to view, it is very easy to see what you are doing wrong and what you are doing right.”

Jane S

 

“As a result of the training I am better prepared to make speeches and presentations with confidence and power. Your teaching style is excellent, and information was presented in a clear, understandable fashion. The video sessions were also extremely helpful in highlighting both strengths and weaknesses in presentation style.”

James P

 

“The training is individually focused and tailored to meet the varying needs of the individual. The results have been outstanding. And Quentin Steele is a pleasant, positive individual who inspires the best from participants.”
