"Great session! Not only highly entertaining, but I felt I came away with expert advice, which is what I want from a training. I hate courses where you come away thinking: 'this won't help me with my job at all, but it was nice being away from my desk.' But Bijan practiced what he was preaching, and he gave great examples. Although I had already heard some of the tips before, he brought them to light in a way I hadn't considered."

"I enjoyed the enthusiasm and data-driven approach — also the directness and challenging counterproductive habits such as using slide templates that create a lot of noise. The class was well crafted with excellent stories and examples.
As the content was boiled down to emphasize a small number of essentials, it is more actionable than other presentation classes I have attended."

"Having been through multiple courses, trainings, and seminars throughout my career, I am happy to say that this was the best presentation I have ever attended. Bijan has both an expert education-based understanding in this field, as well as in-depth experience and wisdom. Material and instructor were clear and easy to understand, had engaging statements and interactive experiences, and had a solid connection to audiences of all styles and cultures. This masterclass was highly inclusive and deeply relatable. I have learned more from this class than from any other presentation. I will use these teachings in both my personal life and my career at Google. I wish this was mandatory for all managers and leads and highly recommended for everyone else. I believe our culture could be better if everyone had a firm understanding of the information presented here."
