I had a virtual two hour one-on-one public speaking coaching with Herman in January 2026. I was initially hesitant to do any coaching because I thought I would feel awkward or I would not have tangible skills after just one session but it was a truly productive and comforting experience. Herman is a fantastic coach that makes the session a space where you try different things and don't feel embarrassed. I also noticeably have adopted some of the feedback. 10/10!
I had a great time at Herman's public speaking class! To be honest, I prefer individual learning to group learning, so I hesitated about taking the group class, but figured it would be better to practice in front of strangers.
I was happy with my decision. Herman created such a supportive environment for the class. I really enjoyed meeting my classmates (the people who sign up are warm and fascinating), and throughout the day we actually got to hear each other's authentic stories. Throughout the sessions, Herman shared very actionable and concrete tips for how we can speak better. The advice was direct and we immediately practiced applying it, so the time from advice to value is pretty instant. I look forward to applying the things I learned so that I can be an even more effective communicator. Thanks Herman!
I signed up for this workshop because I wanted to find a space to practice public speaking, work through my anxiety, and have real-time feedback. After taking Herman's class, I am so glad I did! I felt myself improving after each speech, and the transformation into my daily life feels immediate. The group was amazing as well and I could see this being very beneficial for creatives, executives, leaders, and anyone that wants to improve their communication skills. Will definitely be taking level 2!
Herman was amazing. I did a 2 hour private session, and he was able to provide actionable feedback and gently coach me in an empathetic manner. He really cares about making people better at public speaking, and I genuinely felt that! Would highly recommend!
Only left a 5-star rating.
Class was awesome! Herman taught me a lot and provided a lot of great feedback on how I can improve. I will probably go back for a 2nd class.
This class was amazing! Herman was so knowledgeable and articulate on how to improve as a public speaker. Myself and everyone else in the class was given amazing feedback and all improved as the class went on. Life changing! Wonderful class and I will be doing level 2 in the future.
A fantastic public speaking workshop full of practical, confidence-building insights! We learned to engage the whole audience by using our bodies, voices, speech build up, and focus on ideas instead of ourselves. The session emphasized kindness, visualization, and clear, concrete language, along with grounding posture and expressive energy. Overall, an inspiring and freeing day that made speaking in public feel natural, vivid, and enjoyable.
Herman’s class is terrific. He is enthusiastic and keeps everyone engaged. From the beginning you are in front of the class practicing skills and getting feedback. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Herman came to Columbia to lead a public speaking workshop, and it was both fun and incredibly informative! He made everyone feel comfortable while giving us practical, actionable tips to improve our confidence and communication. I learned so much and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their speaking skills.
