  • Dynamic Interactions

    This was incredibly helpful. I learned so much about myself and how I interact with others. My confidence definitely grew throughout this workshop. I loved learning what "color" style others and I fall into, definitely helps understand communication.

  • Hi Laura, Thank you so much for the donation to IFAW, that is so very generous of you and greatly appreciated! I had a great time last week, I will definitely go and leave a positive review and recommend this course to others. I will have to work up the courage to watch the videos (heh – I think that is harder than actually giving the presentation sometimes!) but I will do it, and I am going to try thinking about life as a series of stories and practice keeping my ‘inner voice’ in storytelling mode, maybe it will help identify stories to tell! Thanks again for everything! Best, Sheryl F.
  • Laura - thanks for spending 2 days with us, I got a lot out of it! Graham
  • Hi Laura, I have learned so much from you and I really appreciate all your advice! Seeing my video is definitely helpful. Although I still have a lot of weaknesses in public speaking, now I know where to start and what needs to be improved. Thanks for teaching me the wonderful tips. I will recommend this class to my peers.
  • Laura was amazing! Would recommend this to anyone who is involved in public speaking.
  • When you're intimidated by something like public speaking, it's so easy to feel alone--which just compounds the anxiety. But meeting you guys and being reminded that many of us are in the same boat--and more importantly--that it's something we are working to overcome was a big part of what I took away from this experience. Thanks for your bravery. I found you all inspiring. Thanks, Ron
  • Hi Laura, Thank you for a great class and for the follow up with the videos (and to check if they work).
  • Hope all is well. First, I would like to thank you for such a great class last Thursday and Friday. I really enjoyed my time and came away with some great skills and tips that I look forward to utilizing in the future.
  • Hello. Thank you so much for the excellent class! Your instruction has provided me with greater assurance going forward. I am in Chicago periodically and will reach out, please do likewise if you are in New York, Baltimore or Washington, DC.
  • It was great meeting you and I appreciate all of the assistance and guidance you provided to us. It was a great team and I will say I enjoyed learning with everyone. Thank you for your time and I will keep you in mind for future corporate events as I really feel the build - a - bike program would be a great benefit for my team. Thanks again! And it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Bill D.
  • Hi Laura, thank you for a great two-days- you are a great teacher! I fully enjoyed the learning and growth and feel like I made good friends. My best, Joe
  • learned a lot about motion graphics, video editing in this class
  • Good class. The information was helpful and practical. Glad I was able to attend.
  • I really enjoyed the class! The information was very helpful. It clarified for me what to expect in terms of what a proofreader actually does and how to go about gaining experience. I felt Alison had many useful examples and wanted to make sure we were getting what we came for. I would definitely take another class with her.
  • Great class and the instructor was very informative. If you are interested in becoming a notary I suggest you take this class.
  • I really liked it. I learned so much.
  • Mario was very informative about the skill of airbrush makeup. He was helpful and patience with working with someone new to the craft. High recommend this class.
  • Laura, You are an amazing instructor! Thanks for the wonderful class and your example of what it looks like to give a “fearless presentation.” I learned a lot and gained more confidence because of yours and the group's encouragement. I don’t have to be perfect and neither does my presentation! I hope to work with you in the future. I’ll definitely leave a review. Happy week! Kiko
