Stephen is my rhetoric mentor for public speaking and scientific presentations. He has guided me through the professional stage performance in a detailed, structured, and easy-to-understand manner.
How to keep yourself calm, when to take a pause, how to captivate the audience, how to bring decent humor in your speech and content tailoring – you just name it – were all obvious parts of his training.
I highly appreciate his immense patience as a trainer showing high commitment and devotion to his work. I will highly recommend him to individuals, groups, and organizations, who aim at becoming effective speakers.
