Participant Feedback

Participant Feedback

– Don’t need to be a natural born public speaker to give a good presentation

– A lot of interaction and application, not just theory

– Best aspect was actually talking in front of everyone, I was not thrown in the deep end

– Speaking in small groups first before doing in front of the audience was very helpful

– Very engaging and excellent examples

– Ability to practice doing spontaneous impromptu talks and answering questions in real time without fear

– Kept our attention at all times and gave us an opportunity to reflect in the session to prepare for the next one

– Provided a safe environment to test out the lesson and proved it was okay, firstly by sitting at the table and then standing at the table and then in front of a larger group who have also done the same thing

– Developed a structure including an opening, a story and a point related to my message

– Focused on stories rather than comedy to keep the audience interested and smiling

– The two minute individual presentations including a beginning, example and point made it easy to prepare useful and interesting responses

– The best part was finding the label and conditioning that was running my life and putting it back in its historical time slot
