What Leaders Say

  • Jami Josefson, MD

    Public speaking has always been a source of anxiety for me, but working with Daniel completely changed my perspective. He showed me how to make the presentation about the speaker, not the slides, and gave me practical strategies that boosted my confidence.

    We practiced together before my grand rounds talk, and his advice — including adding a lighthearted video clip — helped me relax and connect with my audience. I received great feedback from colleagues, and for the first time, I wasn’t nervous presenting. This experience has given me lasting confidence for future talks.

    Your coaching and personal guidance changed my life. I gave one of my best presentations and never felt more confident. Presentation skills are essential to every profession and should be part of career development — an underappreciated but very much needed skill.”

    Even if you think you know everything, Daniel has something to teach you — and you’ll use these skills almost every day. I took two professional presentation courses with him, and he gave some of the most practical, useful advice in an informal, highly interactive setting.

    Daniel is an amazing teacher of how to present effectively, regardless of discipline. I especially valued the interactive exercises and peer feedback. The tools and skills I gained led to me being invited to serve as a facilitator at the American Society for Engineering Education.

  • James (Jimmy) Buffi, PhD

    Daniel’s workshop was invaluable. It helped me pass my PhD qualifying exam, and later the same skills led to a strong conference presentation that opened doors to research collaborations and business opportunities with top names in my field.

  • Aaron Stebner, PhD

    Daniel’s workshop gave me the confidence and stage presence I lacked, even though I was strong in the technical content of my work. Before, I rushed, lost track of time, or failed to engage my audience. Through his training, practice talks, and feedback, I quickly overcame these issues.

    Now my presentations are confident, well-paced, and spark meaningful questions and discussion. His workshop also taught me how to share more than just technical achievements — a skill that proved invaluable in interview talks and has led directly to career success.
