I went from someone who was very nervous and uncomfortable speaking in front of a crowd, to a confident and "fun" speaker that can keep my audiences attention throughout the entire presentation. Bob's professionalism and expertise in this field is unsurpassed. I have been through many training classes and workshops, but none have been as transformational for me as Presenting for the Bottom Line. Thank you Bob for helping me to overcome my fear of speaking, and helping to change public speaking from something I dreaded, to something I look forward to now."

Not only does he deliver great results and does so with high integrity while being personable, but he is also obviously an expert in the subject matter.

"You definitely get and Bob delivers full value from his courses and guidance. I recently attended Bob's course, "Presenting for the Bottom Line". Within the first hour, I delivered a segment of my speaking topic; which was video-taped and immediately critiqued by Bob and those attending. I had the unique opportunity to present, learn, implement and grow professionally on-the-spot. Seriously, how often does that happen? As speakers' we brought a myriad of well honed speaker idiosyncrasies with us, it was fascinating and I was highly impressed while viewing Bob in action, as he meticulously guided us with high level suggestions and recommendations. Bob coached us individually and as a group in methodologies to expand interest, create the crescendo and most importantly, make the words come to life. What a truly amazing learning experience.

"Bob is great at taking a scary subject such as public speaking, and creating an atmosphere of support and creativity that makes it both easy and fun to learn better public speaking skills (As unlikely as that sounds, it's true!). He teaches both the objective mechanics of how to plan, write and deliver the speech, and the more subjective components such as how to personalize the speech with emotions such as humor and drama so the audience actually listens to what the speaker is saying. This is a very worthwhile class for anyone who has to stand before a group of people to speak frequently. Even if you think you are good, you'll be surprised at how much better you can be!" Clay Andrews, VP Investor Relations, Charlotte Regional Partnership

I began the session nervously but soon became more at ease with the process because of Bob's ability to provide positive feedback and his determination to coerce my natural abilities to shine. The experience Bob brings to the sessions and the depth of his knowledge and personal experience truly provides a warm and professional growing environment which everyone feels and desires to obtain his objectives. Bob has provided the tools I need to go forth and flourish and it is comforting to know if I need him in the future he will provide a humble ear and a tender nudge back on the correct path. Bob is a dedicated teacher, a comprehensive professional, and positive influence on those who choose his course. I would highly recommend that anyone who must present to a group take Bob's course to develop and mature your natural abilities to become memorable for your audiences." Candice Szeliga, Social Media Consultant
"I came to know Bob through a speaking engagement for a sub-group of SHRM and was highly impressed with his delivery of information. He was able to make the presentation relevant to my professional endeavors at that time. More recently, I have become a colleague of Bob's while volunteering at ProNet. Again I was able to witness the ease of his delivery and the poignant information in his presentations. Lastly, I had the pleasure of personally receiveing coaching from Bob in his: "Presenting for the Bottom Line" class. He was able to gently push each of us to try new ways of delivery, to break fears and gain the tools needed to make very effective presentations. His style and insistence that we could do better helped each of us trust his methods to this madness called public speaking. Because of Bob, the class was well worth the investment made" Janis White SPHR, Charlotte, NC _____________________________________________________________
