“Amazing class with custom-tailored honest feedback in a safe environment. You see your classmates transform into more effective speakers right before your eyes and the strategies are easy-to-understand and connect with. Thank you for a wonderful personal development experience, Herman!”

“Found the exercises valuable and Herman is a very engaging instructor. I felt more confident and in control after just a few hours in his workshop. The techniques Herman teaches are simple (but not easy!) and very effective. I would recommend this class for anyone looking to develop their speaking skills.”
