Public speaking used to be my biggest hurdle—just the thought of it made me anxious. I felt like I had to prepare five times as much as others just to get through an average presentation, which was really frustrating. Working with Andy changed everything. He showed me how to structure my content so it actually connected with people, how to make slides that draw the audience in, and how to use my voice and body language to keep them engaged. Andy is more than just a coach; he’s a motivator, a supporter, and constantly aims for excellence. His feedback was exactly what I needed. It was challenging, but he made it feel empowering and always delivered it in a way that made me want to improve and try again.

This experience changed how I share my work with the world. Learning to communicate my research in a way that resonates not only opened up opportunities but gave my work meaning beyond the lab. Becoming a finalist in McGill’s 3-Minute Thesis competition and later being invited to coach other students are direct results of what I learned with Andy. It’s more than just presenting—it’s about amplifying my voice and my work.

Andy’s training didn’t just help me present better; it helped me redefine my career path. After working with him, I took on a TEDx talk in front of 300 people. That’s something I never thought I’d have the confidence to do, but Andy was there every step of the way. And that experience, alongside becoming a 3-Minute Thesis finalist, transformed my career. Now, as a co-founder of a branding agency, I regularly connect with clients and industry leaders with a confidence I never had before. Andy’s training made high-stakes communication feel natural, and that’s been a game-changer in my career.

Take the plunge. This isn’t just a course/program—it’s a transformation. Andy gives you tools, yes, but he also gives you the confidence to use them in a way that sticks. You’ll walk away not only prepared but empowered to present yourself and your work in the best possible light. It’s one of the smartest investments and commitments you can make in yourself.

Andy’s the coach every speaker needs. He goes beyond just teaching techniques; he helps speakers truly connect with their audience. Andy brings out the best in everyone he works with—he’s supportive, insightful, and completely dedicated to helping people succeed. If you’re aiming to elevate the quality and impact of your event, Andy’s the person to bring on board.
