NIDA’s Presenting with Confidence course completely changed my understanding of verbal communication. The course provided me with practical tips in physical presentation; equipped me with new skills in improvisation to be agile in presenting environments; and made me rethink speech writing to make impactful speeches. Everyone should do this course!

Hands down, it was one of the best courses I’ve ever attended. It was exceptional because I felt like I have immediately improved.

I was really hesitant before the session because I do not enjoy presenting and also do not enjoy being critiqued. However, Jo was such a great facilitator. He made us feel at ease immediately and very conscious of the feedback he provided, it did not feel like critiques but rather expertise on how to improve. 

It’s really hard to narrow down because I found the whole program SO helpful. If I had to try, I’d say understanding my role as presenter in needing to focus on what my audience needs, and thinking of presenting through that lens. Structuring your message well and then the tools you use to express yourself clearly, to have the greatest impact.

It was fantastic. A vulnerable yet informative experience. It was great to connect with my coworkers on a different level. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is needing to improve their self-awareness and presenting skills.

The Presenting with Confidence course at NIDA was great for our company! I was impressed by how interactive it was and how practical the feedback given ended up being.

I feel empowered to keep working on my presenting skills and I look forward to incorporating these new tools in my day to day work.

I gained profound insights into my presentation style, including body language, voice modulation, and content structure. Provided practical, actionable feedback to enhance my personal presence and presentation skills. While challenging, incredibly helpful.

I highly recommend this session to anyone looking to improve their presentation abilities. It was not only beneficial but also an enjoyable learning experience.

What, why and how delivery in my presentations, voice projection and fig leaf hand placement. These are all things that I have taken away from todays training.

What made me anxious has now given me tools to be able to use with future presentations and workshops and from lunch break onwards I had already started thinking about how I could change my workshops and presentations to improve.
