“I came into this presentation course as a nervous wreck, and I was someone who really disliked presenting.  My nerves always get the better of me, but after this course with Kenny, I am shocked at how much confidence I have now and feel excited about presenting in the future.” Maura Dillon, CIBC

 “The presentation course taught me how to become a more effective and engaging speaker.  Kenny is a great facilitator and caters to the course based on the individuals in the room and the areas they want to develop.” Vanessa Brown, CIBC

“I completed the “Present with Impact” workshop last week by Kenny. I highly recommend this program because of the results seen, the tools learned are useful, and Kenny’s knowledge of the subject.  The results I and the others in our group saw in just two days were unbelievable! People who would never volunteer to go first or even look at the audience were animated and jumping up to go next, it is a great team builder. To see the turnaround between day one and day two is surreal.   The tools we learned were effective and easy!  The impact of eye contact, voice, and movement is so valuable to a presentation. As a young professional, this workshop is the most useful training I have received.  Kenny’s knowledge of the mindset and personality behind presenting is valuable.  He motivates the people in the room and shows how to reach different people effectively. Through this workshop, the results I have seen through using the tools we learned from Kenny will further help me in presenting to groups, large and small, whether they be clients or coworkers. There is no price on confidence during a presentation or pitch; being able to persuade clients makes us successful. Thanks Kenny!” Alexis Scott, OMD

 “Presenting with Impact was an excellent workshop that helped a great deal with my presentation skills, from planning and organizing content to ensuring impactful delivery. Kenny’s approach is excellent: by naturally demonstrating the techniques through his own presentation style, he provides a range of practical examples. Kenny does a great job of identifying each participant’s strengths and areas for improvement and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and comes away with increased confidence. I would recommend Presenting with Impact to anyone looking to refine their presentation style.”  Elisabeth Muir, Corby Distilleries Limited

“Kenny was just fantastic, awesome. Our business development team is still talking about him. His content was top-notch, and his delivery was also amazing. He spoke directly to each individual in our team…you can tell he has done his research. He was also very approachable, which made our team really comfortable with him and thus pushed the envelopes on our comfort levels that much easier. Our training pace was perfect, and we all left wanting more. Kenny’s training has made me that much more comfortable in my presentations.” Daniel Booth, CGA Ontario

“I recently completed Kenny’s “Present with Impact” workshop. This course was very informative, engaging, and a lot of fun. The participants learned a variety of presentation techniques as well as common mistakes and how to overcome them. I learned many things about how I present, and Kenny provided me with many tools that will help me be a better presenter in the future.  Kenny’s method of presenting the material was very effective, and it kept all of the participants engaged and looking to learn more. The participants took part in a number of different exercises that were very helpful, took the participants out of their comfort zones and provided great results.  The course was also a lot of fun. Kenny’s ability to keep the participants engaged had a lot to do with Kenny because he is both entertaining and personable. Kenny’s exercises were a lot of fun to be a part of, and he made the course a very enjoyable experience.  I highly recommend Kenny and the “Present With Impact” workshop as it was very informative, engaging and fun.” Jamie Houle, OMD

“I recently attended a training session led by Kenny, and it was excellent. He ensured each person in the room got exactly what they needed out of the session and answered difficult questions easily and with expertise. I would definitely recommend Kenny for the Time Management Training session, and I hope to attend his other workshops soon!”  Eve Cuthbertson, Cossette

“‘Present with Impact’ was the best, most valuable workshop I have ever attended!  I felt the entire program was engaging, informative and well-spent. I did a presentation workshop through another company a year or two ago, and it was nowhere near as useful as this one.  I believe that a big part of the program’s success was its delivery by Kenny, a great presenter. He used Everything he taught us in his own delivery, which was apparent.  He was proof that the format, tools, and techniques taught worked when applied.  I would highly recommend Kenny to anyone looking for a great presentation or communication skills workshop.  It’s time and money well spent!”  Kim Creighton, Corby Distilleries

“After having worked with Kenny for only a short while, the results were already surfacing, and I found that each week, I looked forward more and more to the coaching conversations.

Kenny draws on diverse experience, knowledge and common sense thinking to creatively help you build the approach to your next steps. It’s easy to talk to Kenny, and I’ve enjoyed being a client thus far. I would recommend him as an executive coach to anyone looking for this service.”  Trevor O’Rourke, Bell Mobility

I highly recommend Kenny and his Presentation course to others.”  David Pubrat, Spin Master

In the two courses that I attended, I was impressed by Kenny’s ability to build a curriculum that was relevant, enlightening and interesting for all levels of employees in the group. His straightforward way of outlining and presenting ensured that all attendees understood the lessons, and the interactive activities peppered throughout the course drove those lessons home. Kenny’s courses fly by because you learn, he challenges you, and they are fun. We certainly learned more about our colleagues by the end of the sessions, and we are all working to put our new skills to use. Thanks, Kenny.”  Kelly Fitzimmons, The Forzani Group LTD

“I had the pleasure of attending a “Negotiate With Confidence” class taught by Kenny Solway just this past April. We spent two days learning the “critical elements of negotiation”, and surprisingly enough, we learned that there is a lot of preparation needed before you even meet with the opposite party. Kenny clearly understands this topic and can keep your attention with various class activities and discussions. (which is very important when you are together for two days!) As a result of attending Kenny’s class, I have been better prepared and can go into meetings feeling confident with my requests when negotiating. Well worth the two days!”  Lynn Skinner, The Forzani Group LTD

“I participated in Kenny’s ‘Developing Leadership Skills’ course in Nov. 2010.  Kenny is an expert in his field and passionate about sharing his knowledge.  His course was highly interactive and fun, with many group discussions and activities instead of being odd-school lecture-style.  I highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to improve their communication and leadership skills.”  Anita Gower, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation

It’s well worth the investment!” Randy Sagemen, The Partnership Group – Sponsorship Specialists

“I attended the Presenting with Impact 2-day course and had the good fortune to have Kenny Solway as the Presenter. I must admit I was anxious about taking the course. Standing up in front of a group of strangers, with their attention focused completely on me and the message I was delivering, is somewhat of a daunting task! However, my anxieties were quickly diminished within the first ten minutes of entering the room and meeting Kenny.

Kenny created a comfortable, relaxed and safe environment in which I could learn and develop my presentation skills. I was provided with some great tools which will enable me to adapt to all kinds of situations and maintain my composure throughout the presentation. I gained the knowledge and ability to keep my presentation on track and create a positive impact while delivering the message in a professional manner and gaining personal credibility with my peers and managers.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the session energizing and tremendously invigorating. There was great dialogue between the participants, knowing that we were all struggling with the same issues and learning from one another. The skills I learned in this session will be valuable to me in my professional career and my interactions with friends and family.

In summary, I would recommend that anyone who is uncomfortable making presentations, arrange for Kenny to walk them through this course ‐ you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome! You can’t be uncomfortable presenting one day and then overnight be a professional presenter, however, what you will be is confident, focused and have tools in your back pocket to be able to accommodate various situations and learn how to read your audience and be flexible to the situation”. Liz Disepolo, Enbridge Gas Distribution

“I had the good fortune of participating in a Presentation Skills course with Kenny Solway early last year. My experience was fascinating, and I initially felt unconvinced that I would retain and utilize all that I had learned in two days. Today, I’m continually amazed at how the skills and techniques I learned have become a natural part of my everyday interactions on (and off) the job. Not only have my general confidence levels soared, but I also find that my presentation style has changed and that I am a more effective presenter than ever before. I’m grateful for the little extra push that Kenny’s course and teaching style provided, as I believe that it helped me understand what I needed to do to be both an efficient presenter and a smart business person.” Sharon Hayward, DDB

“I participated in Kenny’s program “Developing Leadership Skills”. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start building their leadership skills, or anyone looking to refresh their skills.
