“I was skeptical at first, expecting another overly perky group of instructors who handed out candy for correct answers. What I got was seasoned speakers who kept you on your feet and provided tough and candid feedback. I went in kicking and screaming and left a better speaker.”
Gregory B. Jones, Verizon Wireless, Associate Director - Strategic Accounts, Houston, Texas

“I enrolled in “Speaking for Results” as a refresher to previous public speaking and presentation skills classes I had taken in the past. I found “Speaking for Results” to be much more than that. I learned valuable tips and pointers that I use frequently. In addition to correcting significant mistakes I had been making, there were many little items I had never considered. I often find myself teaching these tips to members of my staff, and use things I learned in “Speaking for Results” when I have the opportunity to provide feedback to others regarding their presentation skills. I worried about finding the time to set aside for this class, but it turned out to be a valuable use of my time in the long run. I have recommended others to take this course and
will do so in the future.” Thanks. -
Ed Donofrio, Executive Director, Maintenance Engineering, Verizon Wireless, Bedminster, New Jersey

“Hello guys - always nice to hear from you. Let me go back about 14 years...Public speaking was always a problem for me and it became apparent in my career thatI needed to do something. Finding Robert and Rande Gedaliah was one of the best things that could have happened to me and I have encouraged all my direct reports to take their "Speaking for Results" courses. I would encourage anyone to make this very worthwhile
investment in their future. Most people I encounter in the business as well a public environment struggle with standing before an audience and speaking confidently and convincingly. I was no exception. By sheer chance I enrolled in a public speaking course run by Robert and Rande Gedaliah. I've never forgotten what I learned from them. It was the best investment I ever made in an outside learning course. I recommend their "Speaking for Results " course to everyone interested in improving their public speaking and communication skills.”
Ron Spivey, Director, Marketing Research, Becton Dickinson, Cockeysville, MD

“I did a number a public speech seminars over the last years, but working with Rande and Robert really stood out. Although I took the seminar 3 years ago I do keep a very vivid memory of what I practiced with them. They really simplify the matter enormously and, adhering to their claim helped me focus on the result. In addition I really enjoy their email follow ups, which are like 5 minute seminars for me. It was a great lesson for me and I will try to repeat at some point in time. Thank you, Rande and Robert.”
Alexander Hillmann, Degussa GmbH, Coatings & Colorants - SM-CO-CS-SP, Degussa GmbH, Paul-Baumann-Straße 1, D-45764 Marl

“I have experienced your workshop once and it has left a profound impact. I think about the best practices whether I talk with my wife, my children, colleagues at work or during a presentation.

It would have saved me many a sleepless night before an important presentation!”
Alan Rivera, Chief Financial Officer, and General Counsel, Milbrook Capital Management Inc., New York, NY

"I have become more confident in not only formal presentations, but in personal conversations as well. More importantly, I usually try to scan the crowd or audience and use the 4 second rule while speaking." The numerous opportunities afforded with short speeches during the ‘Speaking For Results’ workshop was much more beneficial than preparing for 1 speech normally done during "other" training classes I have been in. I have become more confident in not only formal presentations, but in personal conversations as well!" - Anthony Dinkel, Allison Transmission, Indianapolis, Indiana

“I found ‘Speaking for Results’ extremely beneficial in honing my public speaking and presentation skills. One of the things that impressed me most about the course was Rande’s and Robert’s ability to adapt their approach and techniques to the background and experience level of each student individually.
I felt like I received the individual attention of two personal speaking coaches while still sharing in the camaraderie which they actively promoted among the participants. I can’t remember another training session where I’ve experienced that combination of impressions. I’d recommend their course to anyone –from novice to experienced “Toastmaster!” - Bob Greene, Vice President, Xcelicor

“Of course I am still a satisfied customer! I have my Eyes/Breath/Gesture postcard in my cube. Whenever I present, I imagine my audience with their hands up in the air and I have to look at them for a few seconds to knock their hands down. I also memorize the first couple and last couple of slides
to really start and finish the presentation strong. Thanks to your course, I gain more confidence with every presentation.”
Brady Engle, Global Market Analyst, Allison Transmission, Indianapolis, Indiana

“I met Rande and Robert Gedaliah at the Toastmasters meetings (SEC Roughriders Club) back in 1996 and participated in one of their’ Speaking for Results’ Workshops in 1999. After this fun and enriching experience it became clear to me that effective communicating was totally within my reach. The interesting exercises, enlightening comments and solid hints towards successful speaking render their workshop a "must" to whomever wants to become a powerful communicator. The Gedaliahs opened up for me a new horizon in the universe of public speaking. Thanks to their coaching I enjoyed on several occasions the awesome feeling of holding an audience in my hand.” - Cecilia Baptista, Ecomatica, Economatica, Brazil

“I learned so much from ‘Speaking For Results’, and I had such a great time doing it, that I sent five more of my staff to Rande and Robert to get the same experience. As a result, we all agree that we are so much more comfortable getting up and speaking in front of a group -- in fact we now actively pursue those opportunities. Speaking For Results not only increased our self confidence but gave us the practical tools we use every time we take the platform.”- Bill Witbrodt, Director Student Financial Services, Washington University in St. Louis

"A little knowledge can go a long way, while ignorance can last a life time. If you don't know what's right, how do you know what you're doing isn't wrong? "Speaking for Results" bestowed on me the knowledge of how to speak in front of groups. It worked on all aspects of oration, but also provided information on how to prepare, voice projection, and stance and mannerisms. An excellent class for both novice and experienced speakers."
Courtney Brown, Crisis Response Manage, National Security Technologies, BECHEL, Las Vegas, Nevada

“I was very fortunate to have the pleasure of learning from and working with Rande and Robert Gedaliah in an "Effective Presentation Skills" seminar in June. These two individuals are absolutely a "Dynamic Duo" in teaching others how to be confident and comfortable in communicating effectively with others either one to one or in a group setting. Robert personalize each person's weaknesses and strength, and suggested key points to improve upon them. I am now very confident that my next presentation will be done much more effectively. Thank you both for such a great learning experience.” -
Cynthia Hoffman, Project Management Coordinator, Business Information Systems, Montefiore Hospital, Bronx , NY

Robert and Rande Gedaliah offer a fantastic, tailored program that really works! I had first met them when I took an advanced speaking class that they ran. It significantly improved my skills at the time and I took several follow up seminars to further hone them. As a result of the improvement that I experienced I would bring them into my company at the time (ARINC, Inc.) to run speaking training for all of our group and everyone who was going to speak at our large customer meetings. I could not afford to have bad speakers in front of my customers, working with Robert and Rande ensured that everyone spoke to the best of their abilities. They are fantastic people to work with, they just don't give a seminar, they tailor a program to deliver results. - Dan Schwartz, President and CEO, Aviation Unlimited, Inc, Bangkok, Thailand

“Speaking for Results” is tops in their field when it comes to helping professionals speak effectively. Having seen many “so called experts”, none can hold a candle to Robert and Rande Gedaliah. I chair think tank of CEO’s and regularly bring in speakers for high value workshops. Robert and Rande are rated as the highest performing workshop leaders they have experienced. My group walked away with real take away value and tools they still use years later. Even those with strong platform skills made marked improvements in their abilities . . and they had fun doing it. Regardless of skill, position and experience, “Speaking for Results” is a must for any professional.(I didn’t add this, but as a personal testimony, I am honored to be part of your circle of friends. I have appreciated the strong bond we created in such a short time together. I think very highly of both of you and you know, I would do anything for you.) - Douglas Johnston, Chairperson, Vistage International, Managing Partner, NorthCoast Partners

"I used to be so afraid of making a mistake in front of others, that it was impossible for me to have any fun
with public speaking. To be honest, I hated giving presentations! But Robert & Rande taught me how to relax
and be myself. By putting me in front of a camera, with some great coaching and advice, they gave me the
confidence I needed to trust in my natural abilities as a communicator. Sure, I need to practice and add
new skills, but honestly I wish I had done this years ago." - Ed Muraski, MD Anderson Medical Center, Houston, Texas

“In comparison to other motivational workshops that I have attended, I found the “Speaking for Results”
workshop not intimidating or embarrassing. The techniques I learned in the workshop were helpful in
preparing me for public speaking.”- Elaine McGlothen Hawkins, Bechtel, Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm not sure if this adds any value, but still to this day I feel the experience was a worthwhile one.
You forced me to come out of my comfort zone, and that is where real learning and growth takes place.
I would recommend your training to anyone who needs to make presentations big or small.
Warm Regards,
Eli Brickman, Eli Brickman <Eli@uneedabolt.com>

Eric C. Webber, President & CEO, Cohber, Rochester, NY

“Our office hires a consultant that helps us with the content of our presentation as well as with our words as we practice. For this interview, he was even able to be in the room when we gave the presentation, which is really great because we get his feedback on what went well or not so well. Anyway, one of his comments was that I raised the level of energy in the room when I spoke during my portion of the presentation and that energy level was maintained for the rest of the presentation and Q&A.I really did well on eye contact, voice control as well as hands! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!“
James W. Simeo, AIA Associate Principal, CO Architects, Los Angeles CA

“My experience with ‘Speaking For Results’ was a favorable one.I enjoyed the small group setting all of us sharing in our experiences. Anyone that has to speak in front of an audience of any size should take this seminar. The instructors made it oh so easy and enjoyable.”
James Walker, Jr., Bechtel, Las Vegas, Nevada

Rande and Robert's "Speaking for Results" class was very beneficial. I attended the class as a result of a co-worker telling me how great it was. Also, some of my other co-workers attended after hearing my recommendation. The class afforded me the opportunity to receive class feedback on my speaking ability, along with Rande and Robert's recommendations. I frequently refer to the handouts when I prepare for a presentation.
Janine Dinkel, Allison Transmission, Indianapolis, Indiana

“The experience felt very personalized as Randy and Robert make an effort to really get to know each student so they can tailor the course to the individual's needs rather than just theoretical "formulas" for success. The tips and advice is very specific and easy to take away and practice. e.g. talk slower to give an impression of greater confidence. Excellent follow-up and continuing encouragement via email long after the course is over.”
Jayne Grant - jayne.grant@drkw.com

“My experience with the seminar I took “Strategies for Developing Effective Presentation Skills” was the greatest of all. This is the best seminar I’ve taken thus far. This was the only seminar in which I had the opportunity to be recorded while presenting, playback to see how I did. This gives room for improvement. No other seminar has allowed for this. I also couldn’t imagine sitting in for 3 days, and thought I would be bored to death, or lose it after the beginning day two. Not so at all. The entire class was always upbeat, and everyone was excited as to what was coming next. Everyone saw some degree of improvement by the end of day three. We also got to keep our tapes, so we could always go back to see where we were then, and where we are now. The seminar leaders were phenomenal. They are clearly rich in experience, and are very confident in what they do (and with good reason). We were promised improvement at the end of day three, and we got it! Wonderful experience; I would recommend to anyone.”
Joanna Major, Asst. Product Analyst, Consumers Union, Yonkers, NY
