Words cannot express my gratitude for the incredible experience I had at the Eloqui training. The entire thing was so beneficial for my skills, knowledge, and confidence. I am a trial/kinesthetic learner, so having to get up in front and present was absolutely the best. You and David made it OK to try things, make mistakes, and learn in a supportive environment.

Thanks again for an amazing workshop! The entire experience was exhilarating, supportive, warm, fun (a little scary) and highly productive. The tools are fantastic but the energy you two brought to the workshop was where the real magic happened. I couldn’t have done it with anyone else.

Best presentation training I have ever received.

The Rising Star Eloqui workshop was the most impactful professional development activity I’ve experienced in my decade as a lawyer. I’m not prone to hyperbole, but I genuinely believe it will be a turning point in my law practice as it relates to public speaking and communication. I’m amazed at the number of skills and concepts you taught me in two days. I’ve already started to put those skills and concepts to good use in my practice. I never again want to give a presentation the way I used to…
I’m also heartened at how quickly the workshop participants bonded and became fast friends and potential referrals sources for each other. I strongly recommend Eloqui to any professional who wants to take his or her public speaking and communication skills not just to the next level, but into the stratosphere.

Thank you so much for a GREAT 2 days! I have never been so entertained, had so much fun and learned so much at any training. While I normally struggle to keep my eyes open after lunch, your program kept me constantly engaged. Because of your training, I will never look at speaking or other speakers the same way again!

As an attorney, I do a LOT of public speaking. I gravitated toward Deborah and David, and I was blown away at how their Santa Fe workshop elevated me to the next level!
I spoke at a local Rotary club recently, and never had a better reception to the presentation, even after doing it for more than 20 audiences. What I didn’t expect was the impact it had on me: this was the most fun I have ever had giving the presentation since I start speaking on the topic several years ago.

My presentation last week at the Women in Leadership Conference in OKC was by far my best. I have never had so much enthusiasm and buzz after a presentation. The opening that I worked on, based on your training and personal feedback, was spot on and made all the difference.
Nancy Parsons

Your 2-day immersion class was wonderful and immensely helpful! I learned so much in a relatively short time frame and there was dynamic synergy with all of the class members! Thank you for the delicious dinner. Johnny Vee was an added treat and his cooking and personality are unbeatable! I look forward to continuing to work with you.

I never thought I would say this, but I am looking forward to getting outside my comfort zone, safe in the knowledge that I now have the tools and resources to succeed. I have never met better trainers, nor have I attended sessions that are as fun, practical, and inspiring.
