Herman is an amazing instructor. He has a very unique teaching style that I found extremely effective. It is well structured from the beginning to the end. Very well-worth the money. I left the class feeling confident, ready to use the skills I learned and looking forward to taking level two!
Wow! Just took the level one class and was so impressed with Herman! He is very knowledgeable, engaging, and open minded. He is such a great teacher and speaker, and his class challenged my preconceived ideas of public-speaking. Highly recommend!
Amazing course, Herman was amazing throughout the entire day. Really recommend taking this course!
I signed up for this class seeing all the 5 star ratings, but was a little skeptical since it's so rare to only see positive reviews. That said, I believe that it deserves all the hype! Herman gives very direct and tailored advice to each student in the class, and always from a place of positivity and wanting you to succeed. With a max of 6 people in the class, each student really has a lot of time to practice and get feedback from the class. I would highly recommend to anyone who has to present or speak in public, especially if it makes you feel at all nervous.
I recently completed Herman Otten's Level 1 Public Speaking class, and I highly recommend it. The small class size created an intimate and engaging environment where everyone received personalized feedback. Herman ensured it was a safe space for all.
Herman's clarity in delivering messages made even the most complex concepts easy to grasp. The class structure was brilliant, with each session building seamlessly on the last. I learned so much and am eager to start applying it in real life.
I'm excited to continue this journey and will definitely be back for Level 2.
Becoming a better public speaker has been on my mind for many months, if not years. I’m so glad I jumped in and attended.
Greatly enjoyed the class and got a tremendous amount out of it. I particularly liked the tangible, repeatable advice and recommendations. I find myself already practicing some of the methods while out for a walk or while making a cup of coffee.
For those on the fence, it's so hard to find real-life opportunities to gain confidence and experience speaking publicly. This was a terrific environment, both with Herman leading the class and the other students, all of whom were supportive and there for the same reasons.
Very much looking forward to the level two course.
I took this class not knowing whether a one-day training could make much of a difference with the 'stage fright' I've been having, but I was amazed by what a huge difference Herman's tips make. They are easy to apply and remember and really changed how I approach giving presentations or speeches to large groups. I highly recommend this class!
As the person who started the class shaking and crying, I can say that this was truly a transformative experience. I have had huge presentation anxiety for years, and have avoided having to present in front groups of people as much as possible. However, I have now reached a point in my life where I have to finally overcome this giant roadblock if I want to keep growing, both professionally and personally. I knew that my fear stemmed from anxiety and insecurities, but Herman takes you through the extra step of understanding exactly how anxiety manifests itself in the internal messages preventing you from enjoying the experience.
For more experienced speakers, they will find value in sitting there as a student, having to be creative while thinking quickly on their feet, and learning about tiny details of personal mannerisms that they perhaps did not even know about themselves. For me, however, this full day of exercises was about overcoming what was probably my biggest fear. I even procrastinated going. But Herman did such an amazing job of creating a safe space where each of us was able to shut out those internal disruptive messages in order to explore a version of ourselves that may have been hidden deep inside.
It turns out, I found public speaking incredibly fun, interesting, and something that I want to continue practicing in the future. So I highly recommend this class to anyone with similar fears and desire to overcome them!
Herman is an exceptional public speaking coach! He has a unique ability to see my strengths and uniqueness, which makes his coaching incredibly personalized and effective. Herman teaches useful techniques that have significantly improved my skills, all while empowering me to speak from my authentic self. His personable and supportive nature makes him very easy to talk to, and he creates a non-judgmental environment where I feel truly supported. I highly recommend Herman to anyone looking to enhance their public speaking abilities.
