Profero account director, Presenting You 3 day course.  “I’ve attended three presentation courses in the past and yours is the first one I’ve liked. It made sense, didn’t try to make me into someone I’m not and was RELEVANT! Thank you Jack.”

Holly Tweddle, IPA learning. "I just wanted to drop you an email with the collated feedback from this morning. I am thrilled that it was such a success. Both the turnout and the feedback was fantastic, so thank you."  All feedback was either "excellent" or "very good." Typical of which was: "Fantastic. More practical advice in the course than I expected."

Rafe Burchell, art director DDB Remedy, Pitching Skills workshop. "I came to the workshop thinking my presentation skills were honed and fairly good. But I learnt a vast amount of techniques and methods that will vastly improve my skills."

John Jester, GM for Microsoft UK after Team Building event for 230 Microsoft sales managers, “I am delighted with the success of our kick-off. Comedy added such a buzz to the event. Jack Milner’s approach and dedication to making it work, ensured this was a successful event. I recommend Jack and Standup & Deliver as a brilliant team to bring something completely different to a company conference.”

Mary Budd hired Jack for ECA and Addiction Advertising Agency “Jack is the purveyor of exceedingly fine comedy-based workshops. He leaves everyone, from CEO to junior trainee, with the agreeable sensation that we are much wittier and more talented than we thought we were. Being on the same wavelength as the people you are talking to, getting your message across succinctly and looking for the less-trodden path to a solution are highly transferable skills, and Jack's methods produce real results. With various clients I have now spent several afternoons pretending to be a teapot and I am all the better for it.”

 

 

Bridget Rosewall, Volterra Consulting and former cheif economics advisor to GLA,  "Jack's training has made a big differee to the ability of my staff to conduct their meetings and make presentations. Jack's blend of humour, teaching and asking difficult questions has given all of them much more confidence in dealing with clients and potential clients as well as standing up in front of an audience of other professionals - even if they don't do stand up comedy!”

 

BBC online.  "One of the best workshops to attend in the UK”

Frances Cooper, VP Learning and Development, AIG UK.  "I was very impressed with Jack’s natural and engaging style. He has an ability to quickly put delegates at ease and the speed in which you can see marked changes in peoples’ confidence and presentation skills is amazing. Jack’s courses are high energy and highly interactive and what makes them so successful is the way he provides straight honest feedback to each delegate after they’ve presented. The feedback although very honest is given in a very supportive and coaching manner. I would have no hesitation to recommend Jack and his Presenting You course to any person or business.”Jack Milner is Chartis Insurance’s (formerly AIG), preferred supplier of presentation training for 2009, 2010 and now 2011.
 

 

Olwyn Bloor, hired Jack to be the Association of Business to Business Agency’s in-house trainer.  “Jack Milner is ABBA's in-house business-to-business bespoke trainer. His training is really energetic and great fun and he is incredibly effective and affordable. I would highly recommend his training to any organisation or business.”
