Thank you for providing a very well thought out training program on effective presentations specifically designed for our employees.  The skills and techniques, which they incorporated immediately into their practical exercises, serve to improve their communication skills and promote a professional representation of the Border Patrol to the community we serve.  The feedback from the agents transcended the evaluations to word of mouth to other agents on the quality of the program, materials, exercises, and instructor expertise.

Your session was both informative and enjoyable.  The PowerPoint presentation was clear and instructive…Our evaluations gave you extremely high marks for content, clarity, presentation, and value…I was especially appreciative of your direct response to the questions posed by our employees.  They really help to reinforce the value of good communication, the concept of personal empowerment, and individual responsibility for representing our organization.

It was more than I would have ever expected.  To be able to prepare ahead of time your questions and concerns and areas that you would like to work on, is a wonderful way to focus your own personal growth…Judith is a very  caring person.  Very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable.  I would recommend that everyone have the opportunity to experience the benefits of your own coach who can encourage and point you in the right direction.

As with most people, my biggest fear was public speaking.  I lacked the self-confidence to believe that I could be successful.  Through the techniques and support I received from Judith McManus, I was able to overcome my anxiety.  She helped me to believe in myself and know that I could succeed.  I have come full circle am now working as a professional in education.

McManus’ book, “How To Write and Deliver an Effective Speech” is a compact guide to speechmaking that seems to cover all the bases and make one of the most feared chores quite doable.
