There was a lot of engagement!

I’m going to have to encourage other presenters to do a live chat during a prerecorded video, as you did during your conference session. There was a lot of engagement!

A fabulous workshop!

Laura’s workshop, Presentation Skills for Brainiacs, given at the Women Transforming Technology conference was fabulous! This was one of the first conferences that needed to transition to an on-line format due to COVID-19 restrictions, and Laura knocked it out of the park with her ability to deliver valuable content while keeping the audience very engaged. Which makes a lot of sense given that her session is all about creating engaging content for technical presentations! I’ve had similar trainings in the past, and am an experienced presenter, but I really enjoyed the great examples that Laura provided and how she focused on simplicity. I’ve recommended this session to many people!

The BEST at Tech Con!

Rocking Your Remote Presentations is the BEST and most engaging presentation for Tech Con thus far this year. Amazing job!

Phenomenal

I had a great privilege to meet Laura at Women in Tech summit in Philadelphia and attend her Presentation Skills for Brainiacs session. I learned so much about presentation skills – the do’s and don’ts. Laura is phenomenal in explaining how to create effective presentations. With us being globally located and virtual employees, we need these skills more so than before. Thank you, Laura, for entertaining all my questions and walking us all through various examples.

Interesting and memorable

Laura Foley clearly has making PowerPoint slides better in her genetic makeup. She is on top of her game and has provided seminars for major events at WPI’s Entrepreneurship Center for several years. Her expertise, confidence, subtle humor, and audience banter make her interesting and memorable. I highly recommend Laura if you need to make your PowerPoint presentations extraordinary or need to train your staff to present important projects with greater impact.

Great feedback from attendees

Thank you so much for presenting to the Girl Scouts at our event. I heard great feedback from attendees—they thought it went really well. I truly appreciate you taking the time to be with us and giving the girls something really valuable that they can take with them throughout their lives!
