“OMG! I have just finished the best presentation skills two-day workshop I have ever done – and I have done 5! Michelle Bowden is simply a star maker! She can turn coal into a diamond and I am so impressed. Her masterclass is an awesome mix of theory and practical. The 13 steps she goes through are logical and powerful. The subject matter is outstanding and information is presented in a logical and structured manner for ease in understanding. The real impact is her teaching style. She is an outstanding speaker/facilitator/coach who instilled trust and honesty. She had a beautiful manner and keeps everything light, up beat and full of energy. You never look at your watch and you never feel self-conscious. If you have to do any type of presentation, this course is a dead set must! I highly recommend this program. Best course I’ve ever done.”
