I attended a public speaking workshops with John in Brussels and in Bratislava, and it was fantastic! John was friendly and made everything easy to understand. I learned how to connect with my audience and tailor my message. The hands-on practice really helped me improve my speaking skills.

I highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking to improve their public speaking! Less
