    Very powerful, practical course. Right balance of theory, participation, experimentation, getting the audience engaged whether you're live or in front of a laptop. One worth revisiting again from time to time and before any big presentations. Bill also lives out what he teaches while he is running the course as well.

    As presenter and trainer, I always knew that I can do better. This class helped me a lot. Bill has distilled his years of learning into simple steps that are easy to implement.

    WOW so insightful! I am a trainer and I really felt inspired by the simple distinctions, the practical exercices and the awesome results that Bill gets from his audience. In a scale from 0 to 10 I give it a 9 (just keeping my 10)

    You have two ways how to spot the comet. You can be sitting on the meadow, observing the stars on velvet deep sky and wonder if some comet happens to fly around and you spot it. This is long lasting way with no guarantee of success. Or there is also one more way. You can purchase Powerful Communication with Bill Hoogterp. The advantage of this solution is you have your comet every day with you, accessible immediately. You can watch, learn, practice… and soon you became a rocket. I ensure you. Happened to me....

    This is the best online training program I've ever purchased! At such a low price, you get a 3 day training from a master teacher in his field. I find Bill's sessions to be lively, engaging, and lots of fun. I've learned enough from just Day 1 to lessen some of my fear of public speaking and agreed to a new speaking engagement. I highly recommend this program, and will look into Creativelive trainings in the future. Thank you so much!

  • Afzal S. Aug 24, 2013

    This course it a steal at $149! I've learnt so much in the first half of day 1, as president of a toastmasters club I have to say Own the room is "Toastmasters on steroids!" I love how Bill has phrases to remember important points - "Paint Pictures", "Evoke emotions", "Strong vs Weak language", "Draw emotion from audience" and so on. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone who's looking to become a better communicator!
