This class was amazing! Dustin was my teacher and he did a phenomenal job! I would highly recommend this class for anyone that is looking to improve.

I had a single important presentation to give and got coaching from Effective Presentations. The advice and coaching I got was incredibly useful and relevant and I was able to deliver a great speech. The attention to detail was amazing and the advice was highly actionable. The speech was very well received and I have no doubt that the coaching I got was a major factor.

I really enjoyed The Effective Presentations Workshop and walked away feeling more confident in my speaking skills. Jordan Jones is gifted with the ability to re-shape our verbal presentations, without causing the participants to feel criticized. I saw significant improvement in my presentations and the skills of other group members. Thank you, Jordan and Effective Presentations.

This was by far the most practical workshop I’ve ever attended. At the end of day one, I came away with solid techniques to practice and hone into skills. There are a lot of opportunities to practice and get feedback, both from other participants and the instructor, which was invaluable. Speaking of instructors, Mike was fantastic! He understands public speaking/presenting so well and can quickly assess your shortcomings and provide immediate ways to improve. He’s also super supportive and confidence boosting. I’d definitely take other workshops with him. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

Mike is a terrific speaker. Great session.

01:19 09 Aug 22

The two day workshop exceeded my expectations. 5 stars is not enough to describe how phenomenal this Public Speaking Training Course was. I was fully engaged throughout. It was filled with a variety of fun exercises that build and improve on your presentation skills. The difference that I feel towards presenting is astounding, and I’m amazed that this was possible in just two days. I can’t remember any course that I’ve taken that I’ve enjoyed more. Thanks Mike for conducting the trainingwith enormous energy, enthusiasm, belief and conviction. Great workshop and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be a more effective presenter.Ed Chavez

Jordan was an amazing instructor. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to improve or gain best practices while public speaking. The small class format created the opportunity to receive one on one instruction while learning from your peers. Thank you Jordan!

Steven Diedesch

15:05 21 Jun 22

Took a course through work with Jordan.I was kind of shocked how effectively he was able to condense so many important facets of presentin g and speaking down into a small handful of simple and easy focus areas. The course was highly universal and I will be making strong recommendations based on my positive personal experience.

Our team was trained on Effective Presentations by Dustin Leffingwell. Without one single slide, Dustin was able to create a very engaging and interactive environment of learning and coaching. The exercises were not only helpful but fun and the 2 days pass by so quickly! Amazing 2 days!

19:41 20 Jun 22

We had a wildly successful training last week with a team that was able to meet for the first time since the pandemic began. Want to talk about trust building? This is the program and Dusty is the trainer for you! The exercises were lively and encouraged a team of acquaintances to establish rapport and be vulnerable within the first 90-minutes of the start time. Great lessons learned and wonderful memories. Thanks to EP as a whole, Mark, and Dusty!

19:23 17 Jun 22

Had an awesome time with Breelyn. I would definitely recommend

19:22 17 Jun 22

I enjoyed every moment of this 2 day workshop! Our facilitator, Breelyn, was outstanding as she was very interactive and engaging with positive, effective energy in her delivery. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to others. I walked away with many more tips and tricks in my toolbox on becoming a more dynamic, effective presenter. This was time well spent for sure!! Thanks so much Effective Presentations!!!

01:34 04 Jun 22

I loved this course with Jordan. He is an amazing teacher and presenter. His natural approach and easy going attitude allowed me to relax, feel comfortable in my own skin and forget about the anxieties around speaking. The lessons shared throughout added clarity, valuable insight and critical information for my ongoing journey in public speaking. I feel more confidence and inspiration to take it to the next level. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is seeking to gain answers, motivation and the necessary tools to become a successful presenter. Thank you so much!

15:28 31 May 22

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this course I learned how important it is in life to have effective communication skills that I didn't have before, in addition I really want to thank the instructor Jordan for his time and content that he shared with us I can honestly say in just a short amount of time anybody can learn good content in depth if they haven't done so yet, also he educated us with great examples with live speakers, demonstrations in class on how we can have more effective communication publicly or individually and actually doing hands on work which was great to be a part of. Thanks again for the time, education, and continuous support with us I will definitely keep in touch.

Dusty is the man. I walked into training expecting a slide deck and another boring training session. He kept the room engaged for 8 hrs and I probably progressed more as a speaker in that time than during my entire career. If you have a position where you talk to anyone, ever, I would 100% recommend working with these guys. I’ve already recommended that my company have Dusty back out for a few other people to attend the training, and I will be taking part again.

00:26 24 May 22

We are very happy to have a training session with Dustin who surprised us with his professional background, training skills and engagement. This is one of the most amazing training I have had.

Mike and his team came to our office for a 1 day Speaker Training workshop and I would highly recommend them!! Not only was it an incredible learning experience for our Sales Team, it was also an incredible team building experience. Public speaking can be very nerve wracking! Watching our reps grow through the video recordings, conversations, an various exercises was hugely rewarding. They are still talking about it today! If you are thinking about doing any sort of public speaking training, definitely go with Effective Presentations!

16:44 22 Mar 22

I just finished a two day course on Presentation Skills and it was great. Breelyn provided tips and strategies that I will be able to use during sales calls, presentations and every day conversations. And it was fun!
