Featured testimonials
★★★★★"I did many public speaking and communication courses, that's the first time I can actually take away something."
★★★★★"At the end of the day, people remember how you make them feel, the emotion. Of course what is said must be credible, but that's the easy part. How you deliver it is what remains in the people, and that's what makes the difference."
★★★★★"Not only did it transform how I delivered my talk, it also gave me so many critical insights, concrete tips, and really easy and helpful exercises, ahead of any speech, presentation, or talk."
★★★★★"It's one of the few training sessions that really stuck with you. I've been to a lot of training sessions in my life, and I never remember what I did. This one really stuck, and it really changed the way we present."

More from participants
★★★★★"I've seen my team use the techniques weeks after the course, I am proud of them."
★★★★★"Damien's training is loaded with concrete, easy to learn tools. His benevolence throughout the process builds up our confidence."
★★★★★"I witnessed something that stays in me. You could perceive that a community of experts had been created. They were already belonging to a community thanks to the training. No fears on their faces."
★★★★★"We filmed them presenting before the training, then Damien coached them, then we filmed them after. This was our way of demonstrating that the process works: it is possible to transform the way you present."
★★★★★"A month after the training, it was completely different; the way some people presented. There were several people like that. A real transformation."
★★★★★"I really needed this: a clear framework to structure my messages. Without it my communication was scattered and random. Now I understand how to build a clear message."
★★★★★"Very informative. The fact that we participate and apply what we learn, not just listen, is what makes the class significantly more engaging. Learning and applying at the same time helps a lot."
★★★★★"I've been a public speaker for 20 years. I didn't learn one thing, I didn't learn two things… I learned countless things."
★★★★★"I always thought, for 20, 25 years, that everything would go by itself. What I learned from you is structure: the layers, and how one block leads to another and eventually leads to a conclusion."
★★★★★"I know quite a few people at BOBST are now saying: keep this guy. We need him to coach our young emerging leaders and all people who have to do public speaking, to have this consistency in company culture and messages."
★★★★★"The things we learned from you are not only applicable inside the company — I already used a lot of that when having conversations with customers."
★★★★★"You can watch a lot of videos online but, in person, it's not the same. Damien sees your weak points, and corrects them. That's something you can't get anywhere else."
★★★★★"I still use what we worked on together, in other settings too, especially the idea that it's not just the information. There's a point of view on top of it."
★★★★★"Not only did it transform how I delivered my talk, it also gave me so many critical insights, concrete tips, and really easy and helpful exercises, ahead of any speech, presentation, or talk."
★★★★★"Damien has a calm and reassuring approach that is really energizing and empowering. He never tells you what to say or how to say it: he helps and guides you to discover and learn it by yourself. Five out of five for me."
★★★★★"At the end of the day, people remember how you make them feel, the emotion. Of course what is said must be credible, but that's the easy part. How you deliver it is what remains in the people, and that's what makes the difference."
★★★★★"Even still today, we get feedback from customers who say it was really something very different and very inspiring."
★★★★★"I will recommend Damien, his process, his personality. His capability to connect with different characters, different profiles, that makes the difference. In any company you don't have one single profile, and Damien succeeded in creating a trusted link with all the experts."
★★★★★"Changing the way you present things is not just making a speech. Damien also helped us to formalize what we say, how we say it, the structure, how you move around your proof point, the words you choose."
★★★★★"I have experience on stage. Even so, I had so many valuable takeaways from the session that I will apply to my workshops and keynotes. They will be taken to a whole different level."
★★★★★"I came in with the same fear of public speaking you described from childhood. I left realizing it's a learnable skill. Knowing I can improve it matters a lot."
★★★★★"A great opportunity to step back, honestly assess your current skills, and adjust them. It helped me improve my presentations and daily communication, and I also came away with sharper observation skills, which makes me a better feedback-giver and coach for my colleagues."
★★★★★"Being in the moment, in the presentation of it, during the run of Drupa, it became very obvious how important and useful the training was. The tools we gained."
★★★★★"I did many public speaking and communication courses — that's the first time I can actually take away something."
★★★★★"It will make a difference between day and night in your project delivery."
★★★★★"Contrairement à beaucoup d'autres, il n'arrive pas avec un truc clé en main, toujours le même pour tout le monde. Il s'adapte tout le temps à la particularité de chaque équipe, à chaque audience."
★★★★★"C'est l'une des rares formations qui reste en mémoire. J'ai fait beaucoup de formations dans ma vie et je ne me souviens jamais de ce que j'ai fait. Celle-là, elle est vraiment restée, et elle a vraiment changé sa façon de présenter."
★★★★★"Mon conseil : ne pas penser que parce qu'on sait parler, parce qu'on a l'habitude, on n'en a pas besoin. Savoir focaliser une idée et savoir comment l’exprimer, c'est très important pour toutes nos séances."
★★★★★"Je me suis intéressé à ce que je voulais dire. Il m'a appris à m'intéresser au public."
★★★★★"On gagnerait beaucoup de temps en réunion si les gens suivaient cette formation. Ce serait beaucoup plus simple pour le public de comprendre."
★★★★★"Ça m'a donné plein d'idées pour mes futures présentations, et ça m'a rassurée : je ne vais pas être ridicule, et je peux stresser moins."
★★★★★"Le risque d'un discours écrit au niveau central et diffusé ensuite, c'est que les gens ont du mal à se l'approprier. Quand on leur donne les clés pour construire leur propre discours à partir des arguments disponibles, c'est beaucoup plus authentique."
★★★★★"Tu restes toi-même, ça ne change pas. Mais on apprend à parler en public mieux, tout en restant soi."
★★★★★"Trois ou quatre fois par année, il faut faire ces présentations. Donc, on n'oublie pas : on applique tout le temps la même méthode. Et j'ai même commencé à aider des collègues dans le département à mieux présenter."
