Testimonials

I started the morning with a bit of anxiety over attending and participating in a workshop about public speaking.  Bob’s manner and confidence alleviated my concern and I felt an immediate sense of relief and comfort.  His style is both engaging and non-threatening, and while I can’t say I relish the prospect of public speaking, I feel a new sense of assurance that I have some great tools to help me tackle any presentation opportunity that comes my way.

This was my 3rd. class with Bob.  Every time I am in one of his classes my fear of public speaking diminishes more.  He's very creative in offering techniques to lower stress and help presentations flow smoothly.  I guess my greatest complement to Bob would be when a fellow employee came up to me after a United Way presentation and asked how did I learn to speak so well in front of an audience. Flash back to my 2009 U.W. LE class with Bob.

Bob conducted one of the most high energy and entertaining presentations I've ever attended. He knows how to make attendees feel comfortable doing one of the most 'uncomfortable' tasks in life--public speaking. I came away from the presentation with useful tips and a smile on my face!

90 Minutes is not enough ! Both our Sales Associates and our Job Site Supervisors said this was our best session in years. In particular, everyone raved about the segment on Handling Tough Customers.

The most important result of our workshops with Bob Dowd was the way he made our Organizers and Volunteers feel important, and made them see that their work is important. We received this same comment from members of all 3 workshops. Thank You.

Dear Bob – Thank you for your willingness to provide a training session for my Board on Public Speaking. As you usually do, you were able to keep our group entertained while also getting some important information across. I personally found your suggestions of using a prop and remembering the Rule of 3’s especially helpful. I know that our Board Members were also pleased with what they were able to learn. Thank you for living United and sharing both your time and your talent with us.
