“The Speak like a CEO Boot Camp provided tools and techniques for communicating more effectively with/like executives. I found this Boot Camp very valuable in this regard. I believe that this experience has made me a better speaker. I also found the instructors and attendees were able to provide candid feedback and constructive criticism that I might not get from colleagues with whom I work everyday. The two days provided a set of tools and techniques I can use going forward.”
- William Symans, Director of Implementations, Bottomline Technologies
