TESTIMONIALS
Eric is a gifted communicator who imparts knowledge with an effortless style. The information that he presented was underpinned with numerous stories to illustrate and reinforce the concepts delivered. This was a very lively and enjoyable day and I certainly gained knowledge, awareness and insight that I will be using in my future presentations. The way this course was structured and presented was very effective and gave the group something to aspire to. His top qualities are that he is personable, delivers great result and is an expert on his subject.

You have given me a completely new perspective on what I should be doing when making presentations.

I greatly enjoyed the recent "Add humour to your Presentation" workshop at the Regency Hotel. The one thing bothering me for my upcoming talk was how to introduce humour in an otherwise serious presentation. Eric had the answer....asides.....dropped in casually, almost as an afterthought, which has the added benefit of including the audience and then seamlessly returning to the main topic. Worth the fee for that one insight alone.

I would like to recommend Eric Fitzpatrick from ARK Speaking and Training to anyone who wants to improve his/her communication and presentation skills. I met Eric in May 2010 at a conference for 300 participants where he was delivering an inspirational speech. And I found his performance to be truly memorable. In the course of last 6 months I came to know Eric really well as he has been helping me to prepare for a couple of important presentations. As a result, my performance in each and every of them totally exceeded my expectations. Additionally, my confidence skyrocketed when the audiences complimented me generously. Thanks to Eric’s coaching I learned to properly plan and structure a presentation, write and streamline its content and perfect its delivery. Also, he taught me how to add humour to a presentation to make it more enjoyable for everyone and how to connect with an audience effortlessly.
Eric Fitzpatrick has what it takes to be a great speaking coach as he listens attentively and gives constructive feedback. He is supportive, encouraging and very pleasant to work with. I enjoy working with Eric so much that I hardly notice how much I am learning during each session, but I realise it as soon as I compare recordings of my presentations made 6 months ago and quite recently. It was a long journey! Thank you so much Eric.

His style was very interactive and as a result our staff found this training to be very effective. His methods also make it easier to retain the information presented. I would have no hesitation in using Eric again or in recommending him to others.
