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 feel very grateful to Mike and Breelyn for their help and would highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking skills or prepare for a high stakes presentation.

Just finished a great three-week workshop on public speaking with Jordan. These classes are well worth the money and are the subject matter is really tailored to the individuals in the class.

I highly recommend Effective Presentations! One of the best seminars I have ever attended! I was very impressed with the facilitator, Dustin Leffingwell. Dusty was outstanding and the other participants were a total delight!The ability to learn new concepts, be video-taped and watch them back, along with feedback from Dusty and the other participants was extremely beneficial. It will certainly make a difference to improving and my presentation skills!

Jordan Jones is gifted with the ability to re-shape our verbal presentations, without causing the participants to feel criticized.

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!

John Peterson

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!

Thanks so much Effective Presentations!!!

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!

Martin Uribe

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.

Effective Presentations truly brought me to the next level of public speaking!

This workshop is amazing. It is easy to follow and the practice exercises and sessions had our whole class improve by leaps and bounds. Breelyn taught us with such energy and enthusiasm, learning was a breeze. I am already applying my learning to my regular meetings and find it very effective.

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!

Paul Spletzer

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!

Dustin is a charismatic public speaker that has mastered his craft. We had a two day workshop and everyone was engaged the entire time. There were no ground rules (put your phone away, no laptops, etc...) but nobody picked up their technology outside of lunchtime. Everyone that attended has raved about their experience and what they learned. It was fun, but it pushed you out of your comfort zone at the same time. It turned out to be a great team building event as well. We will absolutely have Dustin back to see us again.

I had a great experience with Effective Presentations! I was in the market to continue to develop my public speaking skills and was scrolling though google. I came across Effective Presentations and read some good reviews. I signed up for a live course. The course was postponed due to COVID and Effective Presentations offered me their online course in the interim for free! I later went on to the live 2 day training. Both the online course and the live course were amazing! I learned very important skills and had many opportunities to practice them in both the online and live training courses. I would highly recommend taking both courses with Effective Presentations! Thank you Mike, Breelyn, and Mark from Effective Presentations!

Kevin Smith

Jordan was engaging and interacted with everyone based on their personality and experiences. His thoughts and expertise made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable while presenting. I would recommend him for future training classes.

Kimberly Hirst

This workshop was great! Who knew learning could be so much fun! Mike and his team are professional, practical, insightful, and encouraging. I highly recommend this workshop for those who want to improve their presentations and day to day communications. I now have many skills that I never even knew I needed. Practicing these fundamental skills will give me the confidence to share my message far and wide. Thank you Mike!

Best presentation class I have had. I do SEO for a living and have to be client facing much of the time and there were several things I needed to work on. When you take this class you come to realize we all have our own way of speaking even though we try to model off people who we think are great speakers. These classes helped my bad habits of eye contact, rushing, breathing, and filler words. Great class.

I do work for companies all over the world and reached out to Effective Presentations in the US. I wanted to improve my public speaking and communication skills. I live in Pakistan and the virtual training exceeded my expectations. It was fun to be with a few other individuals in our workshop and see how much better we all were at the end.

It was such a pleasure to have Mike Fruciano and Kara Flynn conduct a successful Sales Training with our teams in Pittsburgh.

I took this class in Chicago and I was definitely the youngest in the class. Despite the age difference I got as much out of this class as everyone else. It was worth both my time and money, I am so happy I did it. If you are looking to suppress public speaking fears and sharpen your presentation skills this class is for you.

Brian Penzone

16:09 16 Aug 21

I can't say enough good things about Mike Fruciano and this class. It was only two days, but I took more from those two days than I have from week-long classes. Superbly structured to make even the most novice of speakers feel at ease, it was fun, engaging and most of all incredibly helpful in leveling up my presentation skills. If you're looking for a way to improve your presentation skills, you've found it.

Tina Burns

15:50 16 Aug 21

I just completed the 2-day in-person training in Chicago with Mike Fruciano. This class was amazing! As much as I enjoyed the virtual class I took, nothing beats the experience of presenting in front of other people. The class was small (our session was 7 people) so everyone had an opportunity to present multiple times and learn from the instructor (who was great!) and from each other. I highly recommend!
