    Great instructor, class size was small. We all received personalized feedback and a good amount of practice
  • Overcome Your Public Speaking Fear

    Instructor made me feel very relaxed on my first session, a great way to ease me into being comfortable with public speaking. It makes me want to continue going to the classes. It's also cool to see other students who are at different levels perform different exercises, I've learned from observing them too.

    I left with actionable tips on what I can control during presentations - my body language, presenter position, eye contact, arc of silence, etc.

    This past week I attended a public speaking training held by Laura Lewis-Barr. What a wonderful course it was getting you out of your comfort zone and being confident with the presenter you truly are!
  • The Art of Dynamic Speaking—2-Day Workshop

    Reviewed by Sheryl F. on 12/13/2019
    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.
