I really wanted to feel more authentic when presenting and wrap up effectively. With my mentor’s help, my nonverbal communication improved significantly. The homework on nonverbal tone content was particularly helpful. Setting primary and secondary objectives helped with authenticity and selecting final key messages. I received positive feedback from the audience and colleagues, and I feel more confident in using tone and pitch.

My goal was to be able to present and educate during workshops at work.Before, I felt like I was 16 every time I spoke because I felt uncomfortable and I didn’t know how to improve. Thanks to the module, I was able to present in front of my team during the male-cut day, preparing a presentation using the skills I learned. I had to teach and explain to new employees how the job works. At the beginning, I was calm, implemented the tips I learned, and the team was really happy. I feel more confident; when I talk, I feel aligned with what I say and more solid. At the end of the module, I did a speech to my mentor and was able to talk without stress, even though I spoke about something important to me. It’s much better now! And I know that with practice I know I will improve even more, because I am able to notice my mistakes when I talk and know how to change things.

It opened my eyes to aspects I hadn’t noticed about my own communication style. The impact on my goals has been profound. The focus on changes in my tone and body language has been a game-changer. I’ve not only noticed a significant improvement in my presentation skills, but I’ve also become more aware of my habits while speaking. Now, my presentation skills have elevated to a new level, learning these new skills and changing my speaking habits has built a comfort that encourages me to move further in this direction.
