What My students Say
Bryan Chartrand
“Love the level of detail and "quick tricks" that Eric provides. Very useful and will help cut through the clutter and make the most effective presentation. There is a lot of great recommendations in the presentation that Eric puts out here, that can immediately deliver value in all sorts of ways to orgs that follow his guidelines.”
Christopher S Bennet
“Great course content and effective delivery!”
Andre Mayes
“This is an EXCELLENT course. Eric really makes it easy to understand how to create a meaningful slide deck. It made me realized that I've been doing it wrong for a lot of years.”
Brooks D Johnson
“A fantastic course. I have been speaking and presenting to groups for over 20 years and wasn't sure about how much I would learn from this class. It has been a huge eye opener and I will recommend it to everyone I work with.”
Roger Stanton
“Good pace. The author has an easy going style; looking forward to learning more.”
Edward Wright
“This was a great course, with a nice blend of theory and practice. I've been doing power point in the military and business world, and have struggled. This course gives you all the basics you need to understand how to structure an argument, build that into a presentation, and how to deliver it in an effective manner. For the price of the course and the small investment in time, it's absolutely worth it.”
Lisa Maier
“Really good material. I bought one for each of my team members to give a quick overview of the Pyramid Principle, which is worth it in itself. But there is so much more! Well worth the investment of time to watch several times. Thank you very much for this great presentation!”
Paul Ryan
“Great to understand how Mckinsey and others approach presenting and a helpful application of the pyramid principle. Presentation examples are good but a little old - perhaps a refresh here would help.”
Dusty Register
“This course provides a fantastic high-level overview of tips and tricks on effective slidewriting & presenting. I do wish that there had been some sort of underlying case study or example that everyone could work off of. While I have been able to implement many of the suggestions into my work, I find it occurs more on an ad hoc basis. Practicing these skills in real time would be quite valuable!”
Darío Sánchez
It helps me to organized my ideas and improved the structure of my presentations. Thank's a lot.”

Richard Hoggard

Luis Ambrosio
“Great professor and great class! The ability to present information in a consultant manner across all areas of business makes this course almost mandatory! I really enjoyed the tips and tricks section, and the case studies. Very interesting course for anyone who is into consulting services or needs to present data in a precise way.”
