Testimonials

Last week was our GDC conference, and I thought you’d want to know that I fully utilized everything I’ve learned so far in the workshops. I had several filmed interviews, and I wasn’t nervous at all! I’ll send you some coverage if I can track it down

Sandra, Public Relations Specialist, San Francisco, Ca

I was very pleased to see a significant difference in Michelle’s presence during our recent marketing meeting.  She was much stronger and presented her ideas with confidence while remaining comfortable, relaxed and composed.  I feel like I’m starting to see the Michelle that we all know is in there…

Carol Lawton, Island Architects, San Diego, Ca

Absolutely! I loved the last class!

Patty Fitzimmons Author, Coach Destiny Counseling

I wanted to let you (Peter and Alan) know that I thought the Boot Camp was terrific.  The format was great and the atmosphere was such that I and everyone felt very comfortable, good environment for trying different things and not having the fear of messing up:)

You’re a good team.  Look forward to doing more work with the two of you.

I think the repetition and continual speaking and coaching is having an impact.  I’m building confidence and learning that everything I say or do does not have to be perfect – nor am I too attached to my words…hey this stuff works:) I appreciate all your input.

Jolyce Ledvina, Vice President of Track Ware Tech Inc. San Jose, Ca

It was such a great learning experience for me. Thank you so much for coaching and creating an atmosphere where we all felt very comfortable to speak in front of strangers (of course they are not now).

Minnie Chu, Student, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, Ca

Your presentations are interesting, fun and informative.  Please feel free to include my name and contact information for any reference check.

Ryan Bowling, PR Manager Sony Inc Foster City, Ca

Strength – they bolstered my self-confidence which is the root of my presentation anxiety.

Karen Abraham, CPA, San Francisco, Ca

You made the subject fun, the audiences responded enthusiastically, and I have seen your list of creativity blocks up on attendees’ walls.

David Elliott, Xerox, San Jose, Ca

I found the small group and positive support system very helpful to finding my own voice. I learned about the image I present to others and how to improve it. Mostly, I gained new confidence in my voice and presentation. I highly recommend taking this boot camp.

Ron Usher, Teacher and Entrepreneur. San Jose, CA

They helped me talk back to my inner critic and reduce my speaking anxiety. This is an innovative and wonderful course that will really help me prepare and give cohesive and useful presentations.

Mark Suza, Captain USA Army, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey

Finally, the huge personal transformational moment, when I discovered myself leaning on the podium, with one forearm, while speaking casually into the microphone, like a Las Vegas Lounge-Act Crooner, sharing the Team’s design project with the audience, like it was ‘home-made jam’ – and with a smile!

My bottom-line:  My participation in your Ovson Communication Course has been a huge gift to me!

Thank you for contributing to my life,

MORTON FRANK, F.A.I.A. Redwood City, CA
