“Mike Jousan has coached me personally and worked with numerous Zurich executives. He is far more than a teacher. He is an excellent model of presentation skills, and he gives feedback in a supportive and non-threatening fashion. He doesn't try to change you. He brings out what's best in you. We see immediate improvement when he works with our executives. I highly recommend him..” - Gary Kaplan - President, Construction - ZURICH in North America

"I took so much away from the training and feel I can continue to improve with each presentation. In addition, I will use these techniques with my sales team and encourage a session with video. It is such a great way to see the "bad habits." - Keith Norris, Director of Sales - East Region - ARAMARK UNIFORM SERVICES

“I am going to work for ABC News - ‘THE’ network. I got the job I told you I wanted you to get me! Thanks for all the training. It paid off!” - Bob Woodruff - Television News Reporter - KNXV PHOENIX

“I really enjoyed your blend of skill, enthusiasm, and humor in the class. Although humbling, the video tape exercise was an excellent tool for learning where my presentation skills need the most work. I left there with a renewed recognition of the importance of visual and vocal image, as well as practical advice that I can (and already have) apply now - whether in presentations or my daily one-on-one communications." - J. C. Barnes, Esq. - Senior Counsel - American Electric Power
