On working with John K. Bates, Executive Speaking Success

Putting a three-day executive speaking course to work

Austin took part in a three-day executive speaking course with John Bates at Air Liquide. His recommendation explains what stood out: understanding how to connect with audiences, a relaxed teaching approach, and ideas he was already using in presentations.

In Austin’s own words

John taught a 3 day executive speaking course at my company that was extremely beneficial! He is extremely knowledgeable in how to connect with audiences and he has a relaxed approach that can be tailored to any group’s need. Although it was executive speaking, the class was also part sociology and part physiology. Amazing stuff! John is great and I’ve already given multiple presentations and talks using his tips!

Taking the ideas into a TEDx-style talk

In August 2016, Austin wrote after being nominated to speak at an Air Liquide TEDx-style event:

I cannot thank you enough for your training and advice from our session earlier this year! The event went really well and I put a ton of your tips into practice… And the talk turned out great.
