Communication Training Testimonials
“EMS provided one of the most valuable training sessions our sales and consulting teams have experienced. The ROI was nearly immediate.”

“When we hired EMS Communications to work with our sales leadership we had no idea the deep impact they would make on our organization. Their unique, personal approach to teaching presentation training helped many members of our team to look within themselves and remember how to use their own strengths to help them better achieve their goals. Each person who worked with them found lessons that could be applied to make them more successful in both their career and in life. Thank you EMS!”

“I am a big fan of EMS Communications. I personally have benefited from the presentation training offered by EMS and have also sent five members of my staff to learn how to deliver more effective presentations. The balance struck between training and coaching provides both practical skill development and inspiration to take your game to a different level. I promise that once you've been trained by EMS, you will approach public speaking and presentations with a new passion.”
Dave Napalo, VP, Senior Risk Management Advisor

“I still reflect on our training session as one of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant, rewarding, push-me-forward, confidence building experiences. I use what I learned and think about it often.”

“Now that my brain has digested the immense amount of knowledge and ideas from last week's "boot camp", I want to sincerely thank both of you. Your passion and compassion will make our sales force more effective and successful.”

“We found the Professional Presentation training to be a real "wake-up call" for us in management, as well as with our sales team. It was a testament to the fact that we can never stop improving our skills if we are going to continue to succeed in the software sales business. EMS did an excellent job with what was a pretty tough audience. With 70 sales-people in a room for 2 days, I was concerned with their ability to keep their attention. EMS had them on the edge of their seats! We are looking forward continuing our training with you.”
Paul Weber, Vice President of Sales
Interactive Intelligence Inc.
“Our sessions together far exceeded my hopes and expectations. You have given me the freedom to be someone new...myself!”

“What I learned in your class was absolutely critical to the success of a presentation I recently gave to a very large customer. As you suggested, I focused less on the content and more on the presentation of the content, and I could see the difference in the attention span of the eight top level VPs and managers in my audience. Thanks again for the help.”
Frank Neilson

“It feels like mountain climbing, but your work with me is paying off. The approval ratings from my speeches at the last three sales conferences have skyrocketed thanks to you! My personality is coming through, and I don’t dread it like I used to.”

“It was great seeing our sales teams in one room working together and being re-energized. What really impresses us about what you do is that, in addition to ‘ridding the world of boring presentations’, you show how these lessons can be instrumental in everyday life. To come across forcefully, honestly, in a compelling and dramatic manner goes far beyond sales.”
