              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!

              I’m in the process of de-awfulizing my training slides based on knowledge I received from a particular person. Of course, I’m talking about you!

              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.

              Appreciated the training

              Appreciated your passion, management of time and questions, the way the class was structured, and the tools you gave us to work with.

              It‘s second nature to you

              I learned a bunch from your PowerPoint training. You have no idea because most of it is second nature to you, but it’s all new to me!

              Professional and eye opening

              Bravo, Laura! Your presentation was very professional and eye opening! Funny, after leaving your talk I attended another that was 57 slides of black-and-white bullets. The guy read the slides to us, with a couple of interjections for emphasis. Yawn! Thanks for the tips!

              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.

              Making a positive difference

              I attended your seminar and definitely walked away richer in knowledge. Thanks again for making a positive difference for me.

              You need Laura on your team

              If you're frustrated with your PowerPoint presentations and you’re extremely busy, you need Laura Foley on your team! Within 15 minutes of my first one-on-one PowerPoint training session, I learned 4 or 5 simple PPT techniques that make my presentations HOT! Laura shows you the technique and then you do it! Training with Laura is like having Michelangelo standing right next to you. It does not get any better!

              Cleaner, more memorable slides

              I love your advice and the way you use graphics! It makes for cleaner, more memorable slides.

              Terrific webinar!

              I sat in on your webinar and thought it was terrific. Excellent points and examples and your presentation style was just right. Not too slow or too fast, and it was witty!

              You convinced me

              I’ll be honest—at the start of the session I was skeptical. But after experiencing the daylong intensive training, I suggested to Laura that she come back and provide similar training to my staff.

              Helping me to get to the next level

              I just wanted to take a minute to say how awesome I think you are! Your videos will definitely help me and my company get to the next level. I love when I come across folks that are rock stars at what they do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the PowerPoint-challenged folks of the world!

              Extremely helpful and insightful

              I thought your training session was extremely helpful and insightful. I’ve made hundreds of presentations over the course of my career. And while I think I’ve gotten better, I saw many, many areas where improvements clearly need to be made.
