This class was absolutely exceptional. Herman provided such a well-rounded, in-depth, and customized lesson that equipped me with actionable techniques and confidence. I was blown away by how much I learned and how many concrete changes I was able to implement to improve my public speaking. I have experience with public speaking but could not overcome specific hurdles on my own. I really appreciated how customized the lessons throughout the day were to fit each participant's level of experience and individual concerns. I cannot recommend this class enough!
Just wrapped up a transformative day with Herman Otten!
The tips and tricks he shared were incredibly impactful... simple, actionable, and game-changing. It’s only been two days since our session, and I’m already noticing a real shift in my confidence and clarity when presenting.
Herman helped me understand how to own the room — from posture and pacing to storytelling and tone. I now catch myself being more intentional with my words. Even in day-to-day conversations since the session, I'm applying what I learned and feeling the difference.
Working with Herman was immensely helpful. No matter what your experience is with public speaking, he is very easy to work with, providing quick and easy to implement tips to create immediate improvements. It's a fun and engaging environment and I'd highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to improve their public speaking.
Herman is a great public speaking teacher, would 100% recommend.
I took both level 1 and level 2 classes last year and found them extremely helpful. The advice and tips that Herman gave were practical and actionable, and tailored to everyone in the class. The small class size allowed each individual to practice and learn from one another. Six months after the workshops, I feel more confident and at ease when speaking in front of a group or giving presentations during virtual meetings. Both my coworkers and I have noticed improvement in my public speaking.
I highly recommend Herman's public speaking class. He makes the class practical and engaging. I think of myself as a good public speaker and I still learned a ton!
Excellent! Great informative session. The day flew! Herman was extremely passionate about getting all of us to improve in public speaking.
Only left a 5-star review.
Just wrapped up a one-day public speaking course with Herman, and it was genuinely transformative. Herman was not only excellent, he was thoughtful, sharp, and incredibly supportive. He helped us reframe the entire experience of speaking: visualize what you’re saying, speak with intention, stop looking at the floor, and let your energy match your message. I especially loved the way he tied it all back to the elements, earth for grounding, fire for energy, air for humor, water for emotion. It was simple, practical, and honestly kind of eye-opening. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended!! The public speaking techniques taught in this class are exactly what I needed to take my skills to the next level. Professor Otten applies philosophical public speaking techniques and connects them to easy to understand psychological principles. My confidence to publicly speak greatly increased.
