“The contemporary world depends upon global communications, and being able to deliver confident and authentic messages to our clients and shareholders is key to our success. Dr. Gary Genard’s training seminar helped UDC’s leadership team add to their expertise in public speaking and media appearances for global audiences. This knowledge will help us retain the invaluable trust of our clients, and reach out to all our investors around the globe with clarity and dependability.” Elie Jubran, Director of Marketing and Communications “Your workshop was the best training program I’ve ever attended for improving public speaking skills. Dr. Gary Genard is not only an expert in dynamic communication, but a thoroughly entertaining speaker himself. His hands-on seminar greatly improved my confidence. I highly recommend Public Speaking International’s workshops, not only for the dental profession, but for professionals everywhere.” Robert C. Margeas, DDS “Dr. Gary Genard’s Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking executive coaching workshop was remarkable. His patient and understanding guidance was exactly the right approach for overcoming my public speaking fears. I gained a strong sense of empowerment that has enabled me to become a more effective and dynamic public speaker. The coaching provided me with the tools I needed, but more important, helped me understand how to channel speech anxiety into more confident and successful presentations.” Stephen Brantley, Pastor “As the CEO of our company, I needed to speak at my very best for the corporate video we were shooting to attract investors. You got me right where I needed to be. I was amazed at how quickly you improved my on-camera performance and showed me how to make the script come alive. Your acting background is obviously the key to your success as a speech coach for film and video. Thank you for helping to make this DVD a great success!” Susan E. Rice, Founder and President “You are such a unique instructor and coach, and it was so easy to receive feedback from you. I now find myself volunteering for presentations, and my anxiety level has come down a notch also. I’m now comfortable in front of an audience. Thank you for a rewarding and memorable experience!” Maureen Flaherty, Human Resources Manager, Bose Corporation “Your SalesTalk™ Training workshop was the highlight of our annual sales meeting. Our entire sales force and product demo reps have already started using the principles you taught them. This is an innovative and exciting approach to communication skills for improved profitability. Every company’s sales department should experience this program!” John Leonard, Vice President of Sales “Public Speaking International conducted a two-day training for 11 of our vice presidents in executive presentation skills for internal and external customers. The departments represented included Manufacturing, Distribution, Marketing, Quality Systems, Technology Integration, Customer Management, and Compensation/Benefits. The seminar was a great success, and we’'re already implementing many of the techniques that Dr. Genard introduced in the workshop.” Heidi Friedman, Corporate Human Resources, “On behalf of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations, I take great pleasure in thanking you most sincerely for your excellent workshop on ‘Effective Speaking and Presentation Skills.’ Speaking in international settings can be quite challenging. But you were able to make what is generally regarded as difficult appear easy because of the liveliness of your techniques and the opportunities to immediately put into practice what had been taught. The entire diplomatic staff of the Mission fully appreciated the light shed on key principles to improve their style of delivery and increase their powers of persuasion.” Ambassador Rezlan Ishar Jenie, “Public Speaking International was terrific in helping me improve my product presentations. They are a great resource for sales professionals who want to learn how to communicate dynamically and powerfully. I recommend them highly!” Donna Berman, Sales Engineer, E-docs, Incorporated “Your two-day Media Training seminar, and especially your Media Interview Handbook™, are both excellent. I think your acting background is an asset and public speaking skills transcend specific fields. I appreciated the care and information that you brought to share with us. Thank you.” Public Affairs Officer, U.S. State Department “Gary Genard delivered a keynote address and a two-day Customer Communications workshop at Atrenta's offices in Noida, India. The interactive approach of the workshop made it unique and fun as well as highly educational. We've heard from many of our employees that the software engineers showed marked improvement in their communication skills over the course of the three days. Dr. Genard's workshop was so successful, in fact, we've made it an integral part of our Customer Fellows training program.” Margaret Albrecht, Director of Customer Satisfaction, Atrenta, Inc. “I thought your services were stellar. Your media training instruction and insights were sharp, in the context of what I’ve experienced in 20+ years in business. I will recommend you without reservation.” Kathy Roa, Media & Public Relations, U.S. Army, “I’ve seen immediate improvement in my confidence and my ability to reach listeners in front of a T.V. camera—after just one day’s work with you.” Jack Ryan, 2004 Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate (Illinois) “Gary Genard’s workshop, ‘Wake Up and Engage Your Audience! 10 Ways to Be a Dynamic Speaker or Presenter,’ was quite a hit with our Senior Leadership Team. The theater-based activities were fun and productive. We appreciated Dr. Genard’s message, and I consider the offsite training to be time well spent.” Curt Henninger, Senior VP & General Manager, Comcast Oregon “Your Public Speaking and Media Training course for our Foreign Ministry officers was wonderful—full of joy. It was a great experience for our diplomats to learn how to influence audiences through our speeches and media appearances.” Consular Legal Affairs Officer, Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Public Speaking International successfully guided us through creating the modular speeches we needed for industry conferences. They were especially good at helping us understand the critical process of defining our strategic objectives. Their unique approach covering both speechwriting and dynamic delivery skills is invaluable!” William K. Woodard, Principal, Vital Data Management, Inc. “My entire staff communicates more effectively with your help. After working with you as my practice’s communications coach, I’ve experienced a 20% increase in acceptances of major treatment plans, and a 100% increase in comfort and confidence in my case presentations.” Helaine Smith D.M.D. Cosmetic Dentistry, West Roxbury, MA “Your workshop, ‘How to Create Winning Presentations,’ was a winner itself! Many of our employees called it the best skill session we’ve ever had.” Pam Hoey, Human Resources Manager, Product Genesis “We were very impressed by the material (in the two-day seminar ‘Speak for Success: How to Deliver Dynamic Presentations’) and the way it was presented. You put participants at ease, and instilled confidence in their abilities in presentation skills. You were prepared and professional. Highly recommended!” Susan Ingleby, Ph.D., Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy “Thank you for an extraordinary presentation, ‘Developing Your Natural Talents as a Communicator.’ What a magnificent speaker and coach you are. The scope of clients you work with is amazing and your stories are riveting. Please write a book!” Denise Pappas, Winchester Lecture Series “Public Speaking International trained two groups of our employees in ESL communication skills. The employees were native speakers of Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Portuguese. In both courses, we were delighted with the results. Dr. Genard customized the trainings and made all of the instruction relevant to our business." Paul Drover, Administrative Services Supervisor, “Your talk on ‘Speaking to Be Heard: Presentations That Get Results,’ set a new record for attendance with our consultants’ network. Thanks for a great presentation!” Tom Vaughan, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers “You were just what I needed in court during the trial. You gave me the feedback that kept me thinking positively about my case presentation. It was a pleasure to have you as part of our legal team.” Theodore A. Barone, Esq., Barone Law Offices “Dr. Genard’s one-on-one accent reduction coaching was extremely impressive. Dr. Genard was able to customize my training so that all my areas of weakness were addressed. More than that, he helped me understand how English sounds are formed, which is much more helpful for me than merely correcting myself from my native Chinese. It opened up a whole new world of language usage for me!” Youxin Ye, Senior Accountant, Pilgrim Insurance Company |
