WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andy on four occasions—three presentations and a grant proposal—and every time he starts by drilling down, to get clarity into what I wanted to achieve. From there, he’s guided me to a leaner, story driven format that brings my message to life and actually makes giving the talks so much fun.
As a structural engineering professor, I’d long spoken within the familiar walls of my discipline. With Andy’s help I’ve challenged myself a lot to reframe complex engineering for a broader audience, blending rigor with narrative to spark genuine engagement. His executive coach style was great in finding my core message and structuring my material for maximum impact.
If you want to elevate your presentations—whether it’s a conference keynote or a public forum—Andy is the one to help you find your authentic voice and make every word count.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Andrew is a fantastic presentation coach. I took his training session while recording lectures for an online course at McGill University. His training was incredibly empowering and I went from being nervous and a little bland to feeling quite confident. We learned a combination of general principles and specific techniques that I continue to draw upon in my presentations and lectures now. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to work on speaking with passion.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I've had the pleasure of welcoming Andrew as a coach and facilitator for 7 + years. Every summer, he brings energy, clarity, and a real depth of experience to the Presentation Workshops and one-on-one coaching he offers our students. He doesn't just teach presentation skills, he brings them to life with examples drawn from years of working with researchers, scientists, and innovators.
I've also had the opportunity to work with him on my own presentation skills. He has a unique ability to listen, distill what you are trying to say, and then offer real-time feedback that creates a kind of "aha" moment. Maybe to structure a story better, or simply the right question to ask yourself in crafting your presentation.
His workshops and commitment to our community year after year has been a huge asset to our summer student program, and I can't recommend him highly enough!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
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.

I had the privilege of witnessing Andy's exceptional contribution as a resource person for a seminar on public speaking organized by the Epidemiology Students Organization at Johns Hopkins. Offering his expertise pro bono, Andy showcased a profound grasp of confident public speaking and demonstrated a commendable ability in scientific communication. The resources he provided were invaluable, and his dedication to nurturing the next generation of speakers is truly admirable. I wholeheartedly recommend Andy for any endeavor that seeks to blend the art of public speaking with scientific precision and passion.

Andy facilitated a communications workshop with our finalists. Andy helped them improve their story, script, analogies, and their presentation skills, such as vocal delivery, gestures, body language, and using the auditorium space.
Our finalists were referring back to many of the points that Andy had made during the dress rehearsal, and we could all collectively see a huge improvement in everyone's presentations during the dress rehearsal and the final!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Andy is a genius at helping academics and researchers create better presentations and become better presenters in service of their work. I have worked with Andy twice-- he quickly absorbed the essence of what I wanted to convey and helped transform both the slides and presentation from a stiff, typical academic talk into a compelling story. He also imparted tips and tricks about creating and giving presentations that I'll be using for the rest of my career."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
While I have lots of experience speaking, I hired Andrew to coach me as I was entering a speaking competition for the first time. The stakes were much higher for this one. He helped me shape the flow of my story and do the difficult work of trimming it for maximum impact. My talk was centred around an emotional personal experience and he gave me the mentorship and coaching I needed to be confident on stage while making me feel safe with the subject matter. Not only was my talk 10x better with his guidance, I was one of the winners and came in 3rd place in the competition.
If you've got a speech, talk, or presentation to give where the stakes are high, you'd be wise to hire Andrew so you can feel proud of the outcome.

I was fortunate enough to have been mentored by you for the 3MT competition in Winter 2023.
I am soon joining Yale University to pursue a PhD in Political Science, advancing research on the politics of indigenous self-governance and the environment. Through your presentations skills course and the 3MT competition, you equipped me with the skills and confidence to share my passion for research on indigenous peoples in India. This was immensely helpful in an academic conference I presented at last summer, where I followed your advice to present the results first to make the presentation more engaging. While this is only the beginning, I wanted to share my utmost gratitude for your encouragement and mentorship at a nascent stage of my journey!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Throughout my PhD I’ve attended several talks and workshops on how to create and deliver an effective presentation. Andy’s presentation workshop was indeed the most comprehensive and transformative session I had the privilege of attending and learning from. He was quite efficient with the short time we had and shared numerous nuggets of wisdom. And the best part was the delivery of the information, which not only easily made it to my long-term memory, but also served as a living example of how to effectively present data. Moreover, his practice suggestions were spot on. I'm a classically-trained pianist and used to perform regularly back in the day. Andy gave very detailed examples of how to practice for delivering a presentation to a larger audience that paralleled how I used to practice as a musician before getting up on the stage. I resonated with everything he said intimately, as I have personally put them in practice and seen the utility of these methods. I highly recommend working with Andy if your goal is to reach the presentation efficacy and freedom you’ve always been dreaming of.

Andy worked with our entire team from the start of a new project and provided guidance throughout the process. We held brainstorming sessions, targeted follow-up meetings, and dry-runs with Andy. It was not only useful, it was also super fun!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Andrew’s passion for helping speakers shine is undeniable—you can see it in everything he does. If you’re considering hiring him, don’t even hesitate. He’s funny but serious when it counts, professional yet approachable, and always a man of his word. He even went the extra mile by organizing a private event with a live audience to simulate my competition experience—giving me a real shot at fine-tuning my performance.
Simply put, Andrew is the real deal. I’m beyond grateful for his guidance, and if you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and bring out the best in you, he’s the one."
