“Excellent Presentation! Very specific to our needs. A lot of new material we can work with.”
“You were a huge hit with our staff! The Evaluation Forms were overwhelming marked – ‘excellent’. The BPL staff really enjoyed your presentation style, behavior modification techniques, and practical exercises… But to me the most important outcome of your workshop was the team-building that occurred during the workshop and after. Our job as managers will be to build on that momentum and keep the communication going. Thanks again for an excellent workshop!”
“Edmond provided business coaching and motivational speaking to our Senior Team of 15 Managers in a series of 4 training sessions. Senior Team loved it! they were higly complimentary about Edmond’s style, knowledge, professionalism and integrity. The investment in Edmond’s training sessions have been excellent from the company’s perspective: Senior Team have already applied the knowledge that they gained.”
“Edmond Otis is a training-coaching professional with engagingly effective presentation skills. He always keeps the focus where it should be—on the learners he serves. It was always a pleasure to have Edmond facilitate conflict resolution sessions when I was serving as training director for the San Francisco Public Library system, and I would jump at the chance to work with him again.”
“Edmond Otis is a vibrant speaker that immediately establishes a rapport with the audience. His ability to tailor his presentation to our needs and deliver the content but still keep it entertaining was a refreshing change from the usual circuit of boring speakers. He mixes real world experience with humor in such a way that our customary dry subject matter became interesting and had all of us participating, even that grump who always sits at the back of the room! The feedback from the group was outstanding and we look forward to having him return soon.”
“The comments I received can easily be summed up with the word ‘outstanding’. You were engaging to say the least. Your dynamic way of sharing made the presentation a welcome dialogue between you and the audience.”
“The entire room was swept up in your energy and ability to seemingly ‘touch’ each member of the audience. As you can see by the audience evaluations, everyone felt that this was an outstanding, exciting, and extremely insightful presentation!
“Well spoken, direct and interesting. Very helpful and insightful. Related knowledge to our needs very well.”
“Edmond was great! Easy to understand, exciting to listen to and a great sense of humour! He was excellent and presented material not just relevant to Safety but to management and leadership generally.”
“Excellent presentation! Captivating and easy to listen to!”
“Edmond is not only a karate master, but a master of guiding businessmen and women to develop healthy communication styles and open trustworthy work environments.”
“Your message came through loud and clear! The presentation was exciting, but also real and practical. Best of all, you gave us solutions that worked.”
“Your presentation was wonderful … I am especially grateful for the hit of our staff training this year.”
“Fantastic day. Motivational and thought provoking! Gave us lots to work on and think about.”
