Stan did an excellent job in our Engineering Strategy meeting

"Stan did an excellent job in our Engineering Strategy meeting for speaking on the topic of “Effective Communication and Presentation Skills Workshop.” We learnt about STOP acronym which is a good speaking technique Single thought to one person. As simple thing as learning to look at different people in the audience while you change from one topic to another is an excellent way to pace the presentation and have a connection with the audience. Stan has amazing speaking skills and listening to him is itself a learning experience. We will continue to use Stan in other areas of training and looking forward to the next events."
