What People Say About Us "Bob - Thanks for all your help over the past few days compering the conference and prior to the conference. We received some great feedback on your involvement in the SOPAC Internal Auditors conference. A speaker from Dubai was so impressed with the Vox Pops that the UAE Chapter is running their conference on 16-18 March which he is involved with and was requesting to see if they could use them. Thanks." Anna Soo Manager, Conferences and Events The Institute of Internal Auditors - Australia "Bob - Thanks so much for your great work on Tuesday night hosting the Governance Professional of the Year Awards. The feedback was very positive and the evening went very smoothly in no small part due to you." Christine Simmons DIRECTOR, MARKETING & MEMBERSHIP SERVICES Chartered Secretaries Australia Ltd "Thank you so much for the media training - it really was very useful and you have a great style." Zoë Pink Marketing Manager, TurksLegal "I would also like to say just how useful the Sunday workshop was. I have found I have been thinking back to it in preparation for presentations and how I structure what and how I present. I have to say it was one of the more useful days I have spent. I thought breaking people into small groups worked well and the one on one session did help me with some ideas and brought some new ways to look at things." Justin Smirk Westpac Economic Research "We had excellent feedback from the tpa breakfast seminar which you hosted last Wednesday. Thanks for a great job - the panel and audience clearly enjoyed it. I particularly appreciate the extensive amount of time you took to help develop our broad concept into a session that kept the 150 people there spellbound." Brian Morris Managing Director The Publicity Agency Pty Ltd (tpa) "For the last 2 years I have been heavily involved supporting a very important project in East Timor - the University Library at the National University of East Timor. "But I had a problem. I am a born organiser, I can plan promotional campaigns, write reports & articles and develop Web sites - but I couldn't speak for nuts. Stick a microphone or an audience in front of me and I would panic, go blank, spoonerise madly or just plain stumble about. Even though I knew my material intimately (I could talk with some passion for hours if no one restrained me!) more than 5 people made me flounder. "Bob Hughes donated some public speaking training as his support for the UNTL Library Project. With the use of videotape, advice about presentation techniques, scripting and handling attacks of nerves, Bob got me over a big hurdle that has plagued me for most of my life. The first speech went off without a hitch. People laughed in the right places and some came up afterwards & thanked me for making the situation in East Timor so vivid for them. "When I spoke to the next seminar, I could have thrown my script away - next time perhaps I will!" Judy Blood Friends of the UNTL Library "I did find the exercise stimulating and rewarding, Bob. Your subject matter, knowledge and facilitative style made it both valuable and enjoyable - many pointers to learn from but I feel more confident about stepping into the breach." Brian Salter Managing Director Securities Institute "We found Bob's approach and application thorough, practical and committed. Displaying excellent connectivity with individuals within the group, Bob Hughes is a highly effective communications coach whom we would thoroughly recommend." Richard Bowman (Director) and Tracey Waxman (Human Resources) Hugo Boss Australia Your session was informative and engaging. From breathing to microphone technique and effective message creation, I believe everyone present took away practical ideas and suggestions to improve the overall sound of our announcing. Your experience and professionalism only encourages us to pursue continuous improvement in the way we present on air. The issues of communications philosophy and approach you raised have sparked much discussion and debate. Ian Woodward Chairman 2MBS FM "The training was practical and targeted and very useful for our needs. The practises and tips were very pertinent. I have had very good feedback from the people who attended as to its usefulness. Thanks for a very interesting and useful training exercise." Doug Parrish Plant Manager Tomago Aluminium Tomago "The feedback that I have received from the Chartered Accountants that have undertaken media training by Bob has been of the highest calibre and I certainly have seen significant changes in key office bearers." Pamela Lee NSW Director The Institute of Chartered Accountants "All attendees believed they gained new insights into communication and presentation from the messages that came out of the day."
