    Andrew was amazing! I went into this “workshop” with a bit of apprehension. All of these feelings drifted away as the night went on. What I loved about the event was the way it was carefully planned. Like a good “behind-the-scenes” featurette, Andrew described exactly what we were going to do, how it was going to play out, and what we were expected to gain from the results. Each activity was fun, interesting, insightful, and ultimately, I came away with an understanding of what needed to change, what was good and what could improve, all in the name of “Public Speaking 101”. Thank you, Andy!

    The instructor wouldn't allow you to take photos of the presentation slides or send the deck electronically which is bizarre since the class was paid for and usually you get to keep the content from which you've learned (the content itself isn't groundbreaking so there's no copyright/plagiarism to even be worried about). The instructor also told us to keep our phones out of sight which I understand, but we're all adults. We should be able to check our phones as there are no clocks in the space we were in and the session was quite long. The instructor went 20-30 minutes over the time the class was supposed to end which was inconsiderate. All in all, the actual lecture was alright (again nothing groundbreaking) but it could have easily been consolidated to a 1 hour course and priced at half the rate and administered more professionally.

    This was a very practical, "learn by doing" class. I loved that he proved or guided us to discover consequences/abilities for ourselves before explaining the results; we experienced for ourselves an improvement in focus or memory as a result of posture, awareness and focus. The class was small (7 people) and well structured, with a clear beginning, middle and end. It moved smoothly from theoretical structure to practice to wrapping up a summary of the most important takeaways to remember. The materials and content he prepared were all excellent quality. Andrew is clearly committed and passionate about helping people improve. He stayed late on his own time to make sure we got the full benefits of the course, when factors out of his control disrupted the start. He's extremely professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if my company wants to bring in a coach or if my friends need help with interviews, networking or negotiation.

    Class for the most part was good and meets the purpose of why we were there. I do feel that the instructor try too much to stick to schedule that many individual concerns or questions were brushed off. I also feel the class needs to be a little more individualized in the sense that 2 people go up at a time, perform a mock interview and then get individual feedbacks since I feel it’s a group small enough to make time for it.

    A month has already passed and no certificate was issued on my behalf, so I could not count on it to present it as at least as a prove of my attendance. My educational institution apparently selected this course randomly because no outstanding reviews about the company or the course were available. The activity was held in a glass walled improvised office that was almost inaccessible, the building was under reparation, and the personnel there did not know about the ongoing course. I needed to go through a back door of the hotel, ask somebody to allow me getting in the lift. There were neither warning about this situation on the website, nor in the place to redirect the attendees to the place of interest. In addition, they did not provide information about parking availability, so prepare to spend 45 min to find a place where to leave your car. The class started with a video of a show in which Robins Williams is interviewed. Then, he continued his class guided by a power point presentation, which slides were denied to me. the professor spent nice 25 min in relaxation and postural techniques, made attendees to walk around the central table, and finished the class making people talking in pairs and change the topics at his will. Still arguing about the impact of these techniques on the conversation. I was billed almost 50 dollars for an almost 3 h course, and still a representative of the company called me saying that the professor did not register my attendance. I always want to be thankful, but how?

Instructor was animated (overly so but he said he was highly caffeinated) which for the most part was fine but a bit jarring at times. Finally, I loved the one on one work- though it would have been easier if we were instructed to use the same narrative/story throughout the night. Ie first prompt was “tell a story of ...”, the next prompt “ok now tell another story where...” which caused some confusion. Overall I would recommend

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for this class but to my pleasant surprise I found the class to be very engaging. Andrew made the class very interactive and gave us plenty of opportunity to practice the lessons we covered. Incorporating storytelling in your interview narratives was a new way to look at the often nerve wracking interview process but it made me feel more confident about how to prep for my interviews going forward. Would definitely recommend this workshop to others.

    Andrew was excellent. When I entered the class I had an overwhelmingly broad view of companies that I would prefer to work for. Once the class was finished I felt confident that I could narrow the search based on a better understanding of my core values. Each moment of the class was carefully designed to improve my interviewing skills as well as give me a better idea of my overall objective. Not one minute was wasted which was excellent because he also gave great tips and insights on how to be attentive as possible. Really feel like digested a ton of relevant information in a 2.5 hour class. Not only that but I did a better job in explaining myself than I have every done before from a career standpoint. I was nervous coming into the class not having an idea of what to expect but Andrew was able to help me remain calm much like I will have to do in my upcoming interview. In those two short hours I feel at least twice as confident about the interview process as I did going in. I would recommend this class to anyone that is considering interviewing to those that are in the final stages of their interview process.
